Oh he's been all-pro 2 times and still don't think he deserved it. All pro is all world all around player to me. Good in coverage. Creates TO's etc... A tackling machine is nice and he's fun to watch but for me it's not AP material. He makes a few splash tackles here and there. But most of his tackles are down field. I also understand that its not the popular opinion. Especially after the film that was released of the Miami game by Baldy. But couple games before he was missing tackles and terrible in coverage. I'm glad we have him but he just isn't an AP in my eyes. And that's OK. I know the league is in love with him.
Agree.
He's probably going to make the Pro Bowl, but depending what guys are listed as he's not better than Jessie Bates, Xavier McKinney, Brian Branch, etc.
And if they are going to reward reputation then a guy like Harrison Smith might get in being that the Vikings defense is so great.
More power to him I guess.
So we are halfway through the season and with the MVP talk today, I started thinking about what awards Cards players might get.
My picks:
Buddha Baker 1st team all pro and pro bowl starter
Trey McBride. Pro bowl alternate
Paris Johnson. Pro bowl alternate
Kyler Murray Pro Bowl Alternate
Chad Ryland Pro Bowl Alternate.
Where do you see Kyler on the alternate rankings?
Top 3 so far
Goff
Jayden Daniels (narrative + play)
Hurts?
Alternate
Baker
Darnold
Cousins
Love and Kyler a toss up (Love's got the TDs/yards and will continue to do and Kyler has less mistakes)
Stafford and Purdy can be fast risers as well.
He's going to have to really put up the passing yards if he's going to be a top alternate. As well as the wins.
