Yes, the Pro Bowl is a joke, I know.
However, I can't help but feel a little miffed that a guy who had 850 rushing yards, 8 rush TD's, 4.7 avg, 34 receptions, 324 yards, 2 TD's got into the Pro Bowl over Lamar Miller who had 1,099 rushing yards, 8 rush TD's, 5.1 avg, 38 receptions, 275 yards, 1 TD.
This is why this game is a complete joke. The failures to recognize the truly better players. It's not the 'Pro Bowl Game' that we once knew a long time ago, it's the 'Name Recognition Game' now, and this will be another year I skip out watching this pointless game. Sorry to rant. I just feel one of our guys got overlooked for a 'glamorous' Denver Bronco's player.

I'm not disagreeing, but its long been the case that players on more sucessful and/or popular teams get in first.

He started less games than Miller so the stats are deceiving. After given the opportunity, CJ was among the most dominant runners in the league. He fully deserves to be in the pro bowl.Kingdom likes this. -

The better teams get more players in. We are a disappointment and the our players wont be getting any individual awards because of it.

The guy started the last 7 games and took the league by storm.
He had 3 TD against the Bills in a 24-21 win. That's all of the TDs by the way..
In the last 4 games of the season he had 7 TD. Manning had 3!!!!!
How in the hell is DT and Sanders even in the conversation if Manning isn't? Manning sucked for the last month of season. CJ carried that team. It all started against us ironically. -
Pro Bowl is pointless. I'd rather it didn't exist. Worthless game. If anything they should just play touch football or a bunch of mini games. Anything to minimise the risk of injury.

You can make a case for Hill and Forte. Both deserve to be in the pro bowl. I have no issue with Anderson getting picked over Miller.
CJ took the opportunity that he was given and made the most of it. He was one of the success stories of 2014.
As far as Forte, and Hill go, well that argument is valid and the fans of the Bears, and Bengal should be pissed. I'm on the fence on Lacy. -
P.S. His 3 TD game against Buf... he had a 2.8 ypc that game. Once again, your wrong. Miller deserved it more..dolphin25 likes this. -
The dude started the last 7 games and played great. Not a big deal that he got in. He's a good player. Miller just didn't get used enough by his own team to get in. Had he been used more then maybe he makes it. Miller's stats are not great over the course of a 16 game season. Anderson was a more impressive player.
I like where Miller is headed. If he can prove to be a workhorse back then we have something in him. He ran much better in space this season. That 97 yd run is something we've all been waiting for since he was drafted. -

Im sorry but to say that a player with less yards and a significantly lower ypa had a more impressive season is just asinine. Just completely goes against everything Ive known about the ypa stat.

Lamar Miller never carried the ball more than 20 times a game. CJ's rushing splits are pretty consistent from 1-10, 11-20, 21-30 all hovering around 5 ypc give or take.
Is anyone today, taking Miller over CJ Anderson straight up? -
-
I would love to argue in favor of our players but in this case there was no injustice done to Miller. -
-
When did 4.7 yards a carry become something to frown upon? Miller WAS solid all year.
