What do you think? Major snubs?
Mainly posting this so I can complain about Reshad Jones, yet again, being snubbed for the Pro Bowl.
Cam Chancellor: 74 tackles, 2 ints
Reshad Jobes: 124 tackles, 2 sacks, 5 ints, 2 TDs
Cam Chancellor and Earl Thomas combined: 134 tackles, 6 ints
Nothing against Kam but how does he make it in over Reshad Jones? To me it clearly seems like a case of a popular player getting in on name alone.
Looks like another big snub was Calvin Johnson making it in over Allen Robinson.
Johnson: 72 catches, 1000 yards, 7 TDs
Robinson: 69 catches, 1141 yards, 13 TDs
Doug Baldwin would have been a better choice as well.
Baldwin: 65 catchs, 905 yards, 13 TDs

Much easier to build pretty stats when your surrounded by chumps. Kam has other stud players competing for those stats. The front 7 usually sort things out before Kam can get involved.

I see what you're saying, but I still think it should be the player who actually did more and not the guy that would maybe have done more in different circumstances. I mean, sure, there are a lot of players on Seattle's d that are much better than the guys on Miami's, but Jones almost double Kams stats in most categories. Could that really have made that much of a difference? |

Haha, no. Kam held out and has been hurt some. He played far less I am guessing
Outside of Polamalu I think Kam and Earl are as good as any safeties over the past 10 years. A bunch are pretty equal but for me Polamalu is the only one clearly better.

Looks like Reshad Jones played close to 1000 snaps while Kam had between 600-700.

Pro Bowl isn't as much about stats as it should be but more about getting the popular vote. For years now have felt that a lot of undeserving players have been there.

The Seahawks went 0-2 while Kam held out, and they've gone 8-3 since. He single-handedly beat the Lions in week 4 by somehow punching the ball out of Calvin Johnson's hands at the one foot line to prevent the winning TD. I think there's a lot of that with him. I don't wind up watching a lot of Seahawks games, but whenever I do, he makes huge plays.

Kam is a friggin beast! I actually think it's great that he gets some love. He is overlooked in that backfield.

Major snub Rashad Jones Safety most tackles in the league for a Safety in the top 5 overall. 5 picks 2 of them pick sixes both among the league tops. yet he isn't a top 4 or 5 safety in the NFL?  Overall he has the top stats at S in the league and is a playmaker also. |

Overall he has the top stats at S in the league and is a playmaker also. I think he's also the highest rated safety according to PFF, although I don't know how much merit you want to put in their ratings. At least he'll probably get in as an alternate. |
