Because D. Hall can run his mouth and alienate his coaches, it masks the fact that he isn't, nor will ever be a great player. He's got better speed than Carlos Rogers, but Rogers is more technically sound and has been developing better year to year than Hall, and some people on this board still think he's a bust. If that's the case (and it's opinional), then how is Hall not reaching bust territory.
Pro bowls are good for nothing except artificially inflating value. D. Hall is looking for 20 mil guaranteed somewhere, and that's more money than I'd be willing to give him in total.

Wow, I guess you're not a member of the D. Hall fan club are you? He's a little better than you are giving him credit for. He was as close to a shutdown corner in '05 & '06 as there was in the NFC but had a terrible '07, as did the entire Falcon team. He's always been a "me" guy and that won't likely change, but that doesn't impact his skill set between the white lines. If he's wearing the maroon and black next hear, he instantly becomes our best CB, yes better than Springs and Smoot because of his big play ability and the ability to shut down the oppoents top WR on any given Sunday.
