Well, it's just that when he worked with him in Cincy, Jackson was used to him as a scout. They likely gave him 7 or 8 decent prospects, like they just put Seamon on those kids. He likely traveled a lot, interviewed them, watched them practice at the Senior Bowl, went to their Senior Day at the Alma Mater, etc. But what prompted Jackson to take him with him to Cleveland? It's like he got up there, got a look at his players, and said, "I want Seamon all over these tight ends." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Well, obviously Tom Brady isn't going to the Pro Bowl now. Guess who his replacement is. Go ahead. Guess. (Hint: his initials are A.D....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hell yeah! Now my chance to watch the game has increased from a flat 0% to at least 0.1%. Really though, I think Dalton had a decent year considering all the other bullshit happening, so cool beans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Man, the quicker they turn that thing into a skills competition, the better for Andy. He was not impressive last time around in live game action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Glad for AD but man it always seems like nobody wants to play in the stupid pro bowl, and really why should they. How do they choose anymore pick a random name out of a hat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Happy for Dalton. I hope he does well and doesn't get hurt. The problem for NFL fans is nobody it seems likes the pro bowl, but a ton of people watch even in years of declining ratings. The event out draws NBA, MLB, NHL playoff games that are often on network TV. Even with declining ratings millions are still watching, which means some media company will fork over $$$$ for the rights to broadcast. As long as that happens the joke of the Pro Bowl will continue in some form. Quite honestly I don't really care if they play a competitive game, after Eifert fiasco I'd rather they not play at all.

volcom69 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I can honestly say I am one who will not even turn the game on. It's just not enjoyable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I thought I saw somewhere where they picked the Denver QB as well, but he couldn't do it because he was hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yeah, they're having issues. Quote The three quarterbacks selected for the Pro Bowl in the AFC were Tom Brady, Derek Carr and Ben Roethlisberger, but none of them are going to be in Orlando. Brady’s going to the Super Bowl, Carr is recovering from a fractured fibula and Roethlisberger has opted out of the game. Andy Dalton and Alex Smith are in as replacements, but a third is getting hard to find. Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill were injured to end the year and Colts quarterback Andrew Luck just had shoulder surgery. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor turned down an invite after groin surgery and Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian has done the same after a shoulder operation of his own. “When I first heard about it, I thought they must know I’m originally from Orlando and it would be easy to plug me in for the game,” Siemian said, via KUSA. “But obviously, it was really cool and a huge honor. It would have been cool to play with everyone I respect, especially our own guys who are going to be there. It was still an awesome honor.” The other regular starting AFC quarterbacks that haven’t been mentioned are Philip Rivers, Joe Flacco, Blake Bortles, Brock Osweiler, Ryan Fitzpatrick and whichever Browns quarterback you’d like to include. Rivers and Flacco had the best years of that group, but the label Pro Bowl quarterback is getting stretched pretty far in the AFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Big Jen would owe the Steelers almost $19 million if he retired. He'll be back. My bet is it's all a ploy to get Bell paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Good for Andy. That being said, I don't remember the last time I watched the Pro Bowl. Seriously, it's been forever. No interest whatsoever. Hope the guys don't get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
