Yeah, if Sanders had kept playing, I think he would have got far more than the 15000 yards he did. But maybe he knew he was declining and wanted to go out while he was still at the top of his game.

It's also a shame, however, that Clinton Portis wasn't blessed with the health that Sanders and Emmitt Smith were. Portis had more yards through the first four seasons of his career than both Sanders and Smith. Then came the 2006 season, the first year where he rushed for less than 1300 yards. I've always maintained that Portis is one of the most all-around talented backs of all time, and if he could have stayed healthy, I'm sure he would be somewhere around the 15000 yard mark also. Ahhhh, well.

I know Andre has gone down hill, but he should be at least 8th on that list.

even before the injury i wouldn't put Harvin there

Well I guess if going down hill means having a 112 catch almost 1600 yard season, than he had a down season. I think he should be 5th. Definitely ahead of Dez and Thomas.

I will always have the picture of Reed Doughty trying to cover Andre glued in my mind.

Amazing how underrated Johnson still is after all this time.

And most certainly ahead of Brandon Marshall. Andre Johnson had a better statistical season, and he's a mentor also. Marshall was way too high.

Sounds like a joke.

Wish they would just leave it as is or cancel the actual game.

How about just announce the teams and not actually play the game. One it would still designate a outstanding season by a player and two it would not allow alternates to slip in. Basically the team would be set in stone and there would be no need to play out that IMO worthless game.

As long as it makes a profit for the NFL, they are going to do what they can to keep it going. I agree though, the game is not worth watching. The offensive and defensive lines basically stand around and its a glorified 7 on 7 game. I think the last real hit in the Pro Bowl was Sean Taylor laying out that punter.

Hey, anybody hear how Riley Cooper doing up at Eagles' camp?
