Yup

Williams is averaging .8 more YPC and has similar yards. It's really a no brainer and could at worst be considered a toss up.

Faneca makes it on name recognition again. He's probably the weakest link on the Jets OL, especially in the passing game.

I could hardly say Grant got shafted when his stats aren't that far above Williams, Gore & Stewart. He has more yds & TD's largely because he has @ least 50 more carries.
Shafted was a bit too strong, but he certainly has a right to be disappointed putting up comparable stats.

I'm not saying Williams doesn't deserve to go, but in all fairness, Grant has played in two more games than Williams and played on a playoff team.

Other sports all star games have good players sitting out as well. It happens in all sports. The line has to be drawn somewhere, but it certainly is open to debate.

1200 yds and 10 tds for Grant and Mathews with 10 sacks and creating havoc on the outside.

Every year there are some players who get shafted.

Mathews is an alternate, though.
I'll completely agree with you on Mathews, he should be more than an alternate. I don't think many people have noticed him, but damn, he's a beast. He is the only one where I looked at the selections and was thinking "how the hell is this guy not on the team"? (Well, him and London Fletcher, but, clearly he somehow isn't allowed to play in the Pro Bowl)

Grant, on the other hand, was more of a toss up as people have mentioned in earlier posts.

Re: Pro Bowl Selections

Grant is being a classy pro, too.

From his Twitter:

Being an alternate isnt the end of the world guys lol breathe...im thankful..but even more thankful we r in the playoffs

You must give credit to all the guys who made..AP SJ and DW are all beasts

Edit from above- I didn't realize he was an alternate at the time of my earlier post. It's all good.

Yup, even though I KNOW Mangold deserved it. I even think Brick deserved it over Faneca, he's shown so much improvement over the past year.

Would have liked to see Thomas Jones make it with the year he's having (yet again), but it's understandable why they'd put in Rice over him.
