Re: Pro Bowl fan voting SURPRISE!
Merlin, your argument makes no sense.
Why would hype LAST year translate to votes THIS year? If he was so hyped last year...and especially when he had a statistically better year...why then was he not voted so highly LAST year?
I'm not suggesting that Hawk hasn't had some hype. That holds true of any top 5 draft pick. However, I fail to see how this hype affected voting THIS year when it clearly didn't affect LAST year's voting.
Hype only lasts for so long Merlin...Rex Grossman got a lot of hype last year too. Did that last for him? Claiming that hype from a year ago gave Hawk votes now is a stretch. If you were claiming hype from the past few months helped him, then I would be more apt to agree with you. However, I haven't seen Hawk hyped heavily this season in the local media...let alone the national media.
