C.J. Anderson Just Made It In Pro Bowl Over Lamar Miller

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 understand man, but it's not even just Lamar Miller that got overlooked, Jeremy Hill and Eddie Lacy are also better candidates then Anderson. I feel Anderson made it in because he plays for one of the NFL's 'golden teams' in Denver. I hate this game already, I probably wouldn't have watched either way. Its the principle im upset about. This garbage stat line made it to the Pro Bowl and didn't deserve it but since he played for the Bronco's it was probably a big reason why he got in.

 

Mark Ingram who had a lesser stat line then Lamar Miller just got entered into the Pro Bowl as we speak...

 

That's fine too, i'm sure a lot of people would, doesn't take away the FACT that Lamar Miller had a better year and was more deserving to make it in the Pro Bowl.

 

Well, something has to be up with that, he must of turned it down because I can't see any way that they would put Mark Ingram or C.J. Anderson without at least asking Forte first. It's a shame them 2 RB's got in over Lacy, Hill and Miller. All 3 of those guys had better years statistically then Anderson and Ingram.

 

Well, either way, Anderson and Ingram should of been so far down the list behind Forte, Lacy, Miller, Hill. I have a strange feeling Lacy would of declined invitation and i'm reading an article now that says Forte would of maybe declined if asked. Heres article:http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...te-pro-bowl-snub-spt-1225-20141224-story.html

 

Yes, Hill, Lacy, and Forte were more deserving then LM26, but Anderson and Ingram weren't. I wouldn't have had a problem with Hill, Lacy, and Forte getting in over LM26 but Anderson and Ingram getting in over LM26 is just absolutely ridiculous.

 

Pro Bowl is a game that was made to celebrate players STATS. IDC, if Anderson had a few good games, Miller put together a better SIXTEEN GAME SEASON then Anderson. Something should be said for that. It's also a little outlandish to say CJ Anderson carried that team, they have freaking Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders as all around threats on that offense. Miller also had a better YPC so your argument is kind of weak.

 

My question to you is: Since when is it acceptable for a RB that had 850 rushing yards be able to make it to the Pro Bowl? CJ isn't the first RB to put together a good 5-6 game stretch and not make it, typically RB's like that don't make it in, they have to prove themselves the following year in a FULL 16 GAME SEASON! LM26 would of had 1400 with Peyton, Demaryius, and Sanders on the offense because those guys are THREATS!! I mean its a tad ridiculous that a guy who had a few good games got in. Point blank period. Especially over Forte, Lacy, Hill, Miller who were all more deserving and had over 1000 yards rushing.

 

Yes it is, and now that a RB who had 850 rushing yards getting in over 4 guys who had over 1000 just makes it seem even more pointless, I guess next year a guy with 700 rushing yards will be acceptable to make it in Pro Bowl.

 

That's what it appears unless we get told otherwise. No conclusive evidence that he declined yet. But, I guess 850 rush yards (Anderson) and 995 rush yards (Ingram) are more of an accomplishment then what Forte, Lacy, Hill, and Miller did. All them guys had more rush yards/total yards then Anderson and Ingram. It's ridiculous.

 

Once again, a guy with 850 rush yards just got in. That's horrible. I'm done arguing with you. Your trying to make a case for a guy who started 8 games this season, 5 of em that were actually good games.

P.S. His 3 TD game against Buf... he had a 2.8 ypc that game. Once again, your wrong. Miller deserved it more..

 

Thats great and dandy, Miller still had a better statistical season then Anderson. No dispute there. LM26 had higher YPC and more total yards. Enough said.

 

Just trying to support one of the players that plays for our favorite team, sorry if I offended you in doing so.

 

Thats not the point.. The Pro Bowl was a game that used to celebrate players with good stats. We now officially have a guy who ran for 850 yards in the Pro Bowl, its a shame and represents exactly how the Pro Bowl is viewed by fans now, A JOKE! Forte, Hill, Miller, Gore, and Lacy were all more deserving for that spot.

 

Just an injustice to the NFL in general, as a guy who had 850 rush yards just made the Pro Bowl, further displaying the sham of a game the Pro Bowl is.
