How you're playing has nothing to do with the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl is more about how people think you are playing. Rep carries a long way. Marshon Lattimore made the Pro Bowl bowl for years based on a couple of great seasons.
Did you reply to the wrong person? Not sure what any of this has to do with my post.

but his one dimension is a level above most of his peers.
Ehhh still not all pro. Pro Bowler? 100%

We are in week 10 now and not a single FF, not a single Int, Only 4 TFL. A whopping 2 passes defended in 9 full games. If that’s all pro to anyone then good for them. Not me.

I'm thinking McBride is closer to All-pro than Budda. McKinny is a DPOY candidate at S

McBride is a an odds on favorite for the Pro Bowl no?

He's 2nd in the NFC in yards (and only 22 behind leader) and with a fair wind should break 1000 yards. Next closest NFC contender is Kyle Pitts who's 50 yards back.

People aren't going to love this heuristic, but McBride is TE6 and 41st overall in Fantasy (per PFR). Four of the five TEs above him also play in the NFC. George Kittle has only played in seven games and he's still TE1.

Budda has played so well you have to consider keeping him at his ridiculous salary
No need to pay him a ridiculous salary, as really no safeties are making ridiculous money these days. 10 per should do it.


Edit: Yikes...maybe I'd go 12 or 13, but 15M per year, especially with what we have invested in Thompson as well seems like a lot.

I think it’s more about the guarantee monies.

Thompson is the contract I want out of

Yeah, hard to justify two huge salaries at S when you have many other positions that are desperately in need of good players.
When you don't have any other good players to pay it actually isn't that big a deal. That's the situation we're in right now. That money is just gonna roll over again.

We are almost in "QB on a rookie contract" territory. Very little cap dollars tied up long term. There is no need to cut Jalen to move off of his contract. The reason you would trade him is to open up a spot for DTD and if you extend Budda.

He's missed 1 kick due to a block, he's perfect from long range, multiple game winners, outstanding on kick offs.
And Special Teams player of the month for his first month.

He does need to keep it up for the next two months to get a Pro Bowl nod over more established names.

I really don't understand this love for Ryland. He has made a bunch of 30 yard kicks and a couple 50 yarders.

Somehow just doing his job like an average kicker makes him a pro bowler to you. I don't get it.
Sometimes you don't realize how important a good kicker is until you don't have one. We had some bad ones before Prater, who is 40 btw.

When was the last time the Cardinals had a kicker who that only can kick from distance distance, but had multiple game winners?

Plus his kick off in the Bears game that landed in the zone and rolled into the end zone was a thing of beauty and the bears 10 yards
