Pro Bowl level

[Brandon494]

With one sack on the season I don't really think you can put Matthews at a pro bowl level so far this season. Also Nelson is having a good season but far from being a Pro Bowler.

I thought "pbmax" stood for "peanut butter max."

This. LOL!

Just like you can't be a pro bowl defensive back without INTs

That too. Its versatile, like a first round offensive tackle draft pick.

Or Frankenbacker.

Sacks aside -- Matthews is playing well. Sacks are misleading and come in bunches. My guess is Matthews has good number of hurries.

Expect by the end of the season Matthews to have decent sack numbers.

Nelson shall continue to benefit by Finley drawing double - triple teams and DD's reduced playing time. The Packers running game and play action stuff shall also contribute to Nelson's numbers.

hahaha nice try but take a look a the past pro bowl selections. SACKS DO MATTER!

When was the last time a player made the pro bowl on QB hurries? and I don't care how many double teams Finley draws Nelson is not making the Pro Bowl.

What's your point? How often do DBs go to the pro bowl without INTs? as you might put it: INTs DO MATTER. Even when people agree with you, you act a fool.

[Brandon494]

First of all you were not agreeing with me you were trying to be a smart ass

[Brandon494]

and second INTs do not matter as much as sacks when Revis made the pro bowl with ZERO INTs last season.

I'll repeat: even when someone agrees with you, you act the fool

Unless he gets the sack numbers, he won't go to the pro bowl - except perhaps on reputation. The Packers do have a lot of national exposure, including what will likely be national games on all the holidays.

I could be wrong; however, see my rep post.

There is a huge difference between pro bowl performance and making the pro bowl.

I believe the thread is about pro bowl performance -- not who makes the pro bowl. Provided names that imo are playing at a pro bowl level.

1/3 of the vote is the fans -- CM is popular and makes the pro bowl with a low number of sacks. Dude is performing at a pro bowl level.

Is it because Nelson is white?
