Re: Death, Taxes, and Samuels in the Pro Bowl

Few points:

Why are people upset that Samuels made the pro-bowl and contend that he is overrated? I guess you people would be happy if we had no one. That makes a lot of sense.

Roy Williams making it over Dawkins is almost criminal. Dawkins hits just as hard except he can actually cover.

Whoever voted for Williams must have blocked out the Redskins and Saints games because you could argue that Williams is one of the worst safeties in the league from those horrid performances.

Lastly. D'Boyz claiming that Larry Allen is overrated? Sour grapes chief. I said it when they lost him, I will say it now. Larry Allen was the best lineman they had and he is better than any of their linemen now. It isn't a coincidence that the Niners runningback is leading the NFC.

"Sean Taylor, FS, Redskins: Cowboys safety Roy Williams has no business on this team, even though he's a strong safety and Taylor a free safety. Williams can't cover at all. Taylor is not only a big hitter, but he has range. There should be one strong safety (Adrian Wilson) and two free safeties (Taylor and Brian Dawkins)."

Dude it isn't sour grapes man LA is the best guard ebver to play football or in the top 3 at the worst time he's a HOF and he is 1 of the big parts of why Emmith is the leading rusher and we won 3 SB.

But the reallity is he isn't that guy anymore he's still good but not great and he only played 9 games he has been going the past 3 years to the PB just by name we all know that.

You used to see him twice a year I look at him the hole year.

Re: Death, Taxes, and Samuels in the Pro Bowl

Stop with the Betts comments really they're unreal and just sound bitter he's playing great. But he has only started 7 games and in the firs 3 games he started he didn't recorded 50 yards in any of those game it wasn't until the carolina game that the recorded 100 as a started his having a good season and it's showing a lot of promise.

But he isn't having a better season than any of the guys that are going to the probowl not even wetsbrook who I believe is the real guy that got robbed, heck he's getting tons of yards but he has only scored 2 TD in the hole year. 1 since he has been the started this past 5 games.

And he isn't having a better season than Larry Johnson like last year he only started 9 games last year (7 when he was named for the PB like betts) but he never had a game of less then 100 as a starter Betts already has 3, he had an average of 150 yards on those 9 games as a starter Betts 89 and 137 if you only count his 4 games as a starter with more then 100 big difference.

L.Johnson with the same amount of games as a Starter that Betts will have had over 1700 Betts might get over 1200, L.johnson had 2 games of over 200 yards Betts None. L.J scored 17 times as a starter Betts 1.

That's what gets you to the PB in short notice to have amazing stats an play above the rest of the players at their position L.J did it Betts didn't again he's showing a lot of promise I still would take portis any day of the week but Betts show promise.

Romo did that in the games he has played he has played better than any of the rest QB's that didn't went to the PB better numbers, turn around his team that's why he´s going because not, Eli Favre, Hasselbeck or Vick are playing better than Romo is.

So stop with the bitterness

I think a lot of the Betts remarks are said as an example of why Romo shouldn't be going. I don't think people really believe Betts deserves to go over Westy.

Re: Death, Taxes, and Samuels in the Pro Bowl

Was Betts even on the ballot?

Again, if he was doing what he's doing now earlier in the year, I'm sure they would have added him to the ballot and he would have gotten some votes.

Enough with the Romo thing already. We all know the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest more than anything, and right now Romo is a hot name, the NFC is mad weak at QB, and oh yeah he's also played pretty damn well too.

I'm definitely sensing some sour grapes on here.

I agree that he has played well, and he deserves to go. I just think Vick deserves to go more because he's done more as an individual. Romo's team is good, and Vick's team is not. I think Romo is going ahead of Vick based on the strength of his team.

Re: Death, Taxes, and Samuels in the Pro Bowl

Samuels imo, was having his worst season, but has been a badass lately.

When a team only gives up 18 sacks all year and is 5th in rushing, someone goes to a probowl.

NFL.com - NFL Stats

Those numbers are golden for an O-line, just as good as TD passes for a qb or catches for a receiver.
