He has had a really amazing season when you consider how awful detroit has been. I can't believe Driver went ahead of RW.

Less catches, TD's, and yards than Driver. He has 5 LEss catches and the same amount of TD's as Boldin. So its a wash. I dont think he got screwed. Driver deserved to go.

I don't really think the pro bowl is a matter of looking at the 4 guys with the best stats. Driver had about 10 yards more than Williams, who was leading the league in receiving up until about 3 weeks ago when Detroit melted down.

Roy Williams could have made pro bowl if he had wanted to. He just decided not to score 60 touchdowns this year.

He's doubled him in TD's too. Roy Williams desrved to go. But so did Driver. Kind of like Boldin last year. Someone has to be left out. Its the breaks.

BTW, Boldin is 6th in the NFC in yards, 5th in catches and has only 4 TDs.

So according to your logic, he shouldn't be there.

No hes 4th for in the NFC among WR's RB's dont count. He has more catches and the same amountof TD's. So by my logic he should still be there. Roy WIlliams would be just as deserving however.

No, Anquan always deserves to go. Williams' 100 extra yards on 5 fewer passes are totally irrelevant. Jesus, why don't you become a Lions fan already? Why do you hate the Cardinals so much?

I doubt anyone who witnessed Roy Williams assume the fetal position in front of Adrian Wilson rather than get hit would vote for him. I know it changed my mind. Maybe that wussified play cost him just enough votes?

Don't the players have a majority of the vote now? If that's the case, then Boldin has earned a lot of respect in the league.

I had Driver on my fantasy team. Trust me he deserves to go.

If we go by fantasy, i'm voting for Jones-Drew:D .I'm still not over his performance against Indy that knocked me out of the playoffs :mad: .

Nor am I dropping him after week 2.

Ironic that the 3 receivers in this debate all play for bottom feeding teams.

Driver is on a 6 win GB team.
Boldin is on a 4 win AZ team.
Williams is on a 2 win Lions team.

Good fantasy team players on lousy teams.

PS Torry Holt 6 wins Rams.

Bad teams play from behind and have to throw a lot.

I think that in the NFL there are passing teams and running teams and that's what they do regardless of whether they are good or bad.

Top five pass attempts:
New Orleans
Indy
Philly
Dallas
Cincy

Top five rushing attempts:
Atlanta
Jacksonville
San Diego
SF
Washington

Interesting to note that the good teams tend to pass more and have more yardage in the second quarter while the bad teams, as you say, are behind so have more attempts and yardage in the fourth quarter.
