Whats really stupid is how you can vote on twitter now. Every retweet or tweet of #the players name is a vote. That's incredibly stupid if you ask me, considering one tweet with 15 players names can be retweeted thousands of times and randos are getting thousands of votes because of that. Just need to let the media pick the pro bowl. Let the fans have an award like "most popular players" or something
1] Create a list with enough popular players
2] Sneak in your twitter handle
3] Profit

Eric making the pro bowl over some other safeties is a major lol.
Humps missing it is the same.
I think Tuckers extra point hurt him in the eyes of all moronic fans.

As for the Pro Bowl, I don't even care if ANY of our players make it or not. I haven't watched it in years and they haven't given me a reason to start.

i only care about it for the legacy reasons
I get that, but I think as more people recognize the Pro Bowl as a popularity contest, would people give the same amount of credence to the number of Pro Bowls that a player goes to in his career? That's just my two cents.

so some extra details on the weddle pro bowl
just like last year he has a 1m incentive that kicks in if he makes the pro bowl and the ravens make the playoffs - that would count against the 2019 cap

so the pro bowl voters putting weddle in has reduced our cap space for next year if we do make the playoffs

He’s a popular player, thus got the necessary votes. Crazy

Eric, here is your 1m bonus and your pink slip.

smh you dont believe that.. cmon man stop it
Juju has been the better receiver this year, yes. AB may have a good amount of TDs but he’s been very quiet for a big part of the year. Not up to “elite” standards. Here’s just some quick stats.

He’s been held to under 75 yards in 9 (!!!!) games this season. Only 4 100 yard games. Only 12 ypc. That’s not great.

In comparison, Julio has had less than 75 yds 3 times, and 9 100 yard games. 15 ypc (!!) Hop only less than 74 yards 4 times, 5 100 yd games. 14 ypc.

Don’t get me wrong, AB is really good. And stats aren’t everything. But he has not been elite this season. Not even top 5. And honestly, Hopkins is my favorite receiver but Julio is the best WR in the league and it really shouldn’t be a debate.

On another note, @rossihunter2 tell me you still don’t think Michael Thomas is the best WR...he’s not even close. He’s totally dropped off.

More fun stats - Michael Thomas has averaged under 10 yards per catch 7 times this season. That’s horrible. That’s stuff people made fun of Jarvis landry for.

Hopkins is also my fav wr has been since his college days.. idc about stats tbh but we gotta be realsitic here.. juju isnt close to AB. It dont matter if AB had 700yrds and 3 tds this yr, no way should you let your mind trick you into thinking juju or any wr in the nfl other than julio is better than him.. AB is the best wr in lg. As ravens fans, we have seen what this guy can do. We witnessed this shit before anyone even knew who he was. Tbh id take hopkins over julio. Julio is great but hopkins, its just something about it. Reminds me of larry fitz and terrell owens who are my all time and only fav wrs other than hopkins.

Thomas wasnt even close to being the best wr imo. Saints do a whole lot of dink and dunks though
