this is getting out of hand

 

Its been like this for a while. It's been long overdue to kill it. Have an all pro team and some type of Awards show.

 

Yeah I'm sure for certain players its an honor but the way they replace people really hurts the value of being selected a bit. I mean I love that Mitch made it but it means that he's judged as the 5th best QB in the conference...and that's assuming there wasn't a Pro Bowl alternate ahead of him that declined to go.

 

Edit: Maybe even 6th best QB since Dak Prescott was also added. So all 3 original NFC QBs have been replaced (Russell replaced Rodgers, Dak replaced Brees and Mitch replaced Goff)

Agree with the replacements hurting the value, but fan vote and reputation plays a big part in the selection process anyway.

 

And Mitch was probably a top 5 QB in the NFC this year. Brees, Goff, Ryan, and Wilson were clearly better. But Trubisky was better than Dak, Eli, and the Skins mess, neither Eagles QB played more than 1/2 a season. Winston, Newton, 49ers mess, Rosen, all worse. The most competition comes from the North and Mitch won the division going away and could be argued had a better season than Rodgers, Cousins, and Stafford also.

It might be easier to list which Bears aren't on the Pro Bowl roster at this point.

 

 

1. Cody Parkey.*

 

 

 

*maybe

 

That reminds me of the year that Desmond Clark "made" the Pro Bowl in a year where the Bears got absolutely no production from TEs. Even he was shocked. And then they realized that it was actually Dallas Clark that made it and the NFL rescinded the invite.

LOL, I don't remember that at all.

There's going to be a competition. Question is if Parkey is part of it or if it's someone like Folk vs. a draft pick.

The fact that they are already working out kickers makes me believe that they will cut him when the new league year starts. If they were signing UDFAs and stuff, I'd think they were preparing for a preseason competition.

I don’t know how you could bring Parkey back. He sucked at everything.

 

He's got to go. He will blow a few game-critical kicks, and every time he does it will make the Bears FO look like idiots for keeping him.
