This is ho hum for me. When guys started turning it down years back it lost any luster it had Nobody can base career success based on the pro bowl. It is played so half hearted that I would rather watch skill competitions

[bakemeister52]

I agree with Wheeler, when players decided not to play it took my caring for the game out of it!

agree totally, i wonder how many will back out once it gets closer to be played

[gladdyontherise]

Wheeler is spot on here, but still, Eli Manning getting in over Romo, Stafford, Newton etc is a joke.

*in before Jeremy says "Can't spell ELIte with Eli!"*

The Manning pick is odd Newton before Romo though, he is still suffering after trading Carrie Underwood for Jessica Simpson.

WOW no Cam

[wheeler281]

who would cam replace? If not Eli then you have to go romo or stafford anyways

[cornwellfamily]

Where is Hester as Kick Returner? I'm suprised they haven't made this a touch or flag football game.I'm sure this roster will be adjusted a 100 more times before the game because of injuries and players having conflicts with schedule etc.

[ucffans]

Too bad Cam can't go in before Rivers (I know AFC/NFC). There weren't many QB's in the AFC besides Brady and Big Ben. Rivers is the 3rd best, but I would put both Stafford and Newton before him.

[tndcollectables]

Dalton didn't do to bad for Cincy.

[ac-n-mike]

I am as big a HOMER as they come, but Andre Johnson should NOT be a reserve ...

he has played what... 5-6 games TOPPS ?


However, I do feel like a few more Defensive guys for the Texans could have made the team...

Cushing, Barwin, Reed... but again... HOMERISM

[jsab4807]

Can't spell ELITE without ELI!

[Oilman]

thanks for the info been in the woods for a while.....some real blatant snubs with these rosters!

[blevins26]

Even before the game against the Cowboys, Victor Cruz had to be the biggest snub. Dude had 1300 yards before he tore the Cowboys secondary apart
