No Dallas Clark at TE?

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorysta...seasonType=REG

He's been phenomenal.

I agree with a lot of your other picks.

I'll post mine later.

Yeah, I forgot about him somehow. I'd put him in over Heath Miller.

I think NFC TE is one of the most competitive questions.

Vernon Davis is leading receivers in TDs with 7.

Agreed. Witten, Celek, Gonzalez, Davis, Shockey, and Shiancoe all have cases. The AFC is pretty stacked at WR. If I'm being totally honest, I'd probably have Rodgers ahead of McNabb on the NFC, but I'm a McNabb homer. He's also played pretty damn good considering he's missed 2.5 games and got sacked an ungodly amount of times by the Raiders.

Been a big fan of this kid ever since he was drafted, then he tore his knee ligament in the first play of the first pre-season game (a special teams play) and missed a whole year.
But the kid is just a solid solid LB, does everything well, and does it all quietly. Not the flashy type at all.

So when other football fans that don't cheer for the Vikings, vote for him in a Pro Bowl ballot....it makes me happy.

Yeah, I always notice Greenway when I watch the Vikings play. He just seems to always be in the right position to make a play. I remember the Eagles considered drafting him in 2006 if the big DTs that year got picked first (Ngata and Bunkley). They ended up getting Bunkley, who has been terrific, but I would've been happy with Greenway.

Chiefs claimed WR Chris Chambers off of waivers. He can't be any worse than what they already have. Not that it matters. Pretty hard for receivers to make plays when their QB is running for his life or laying in at the bottom of a dog pile 80% of the time.

Yeah, he's out for the year so I didn't vote for him. He's easily been the best TE in the league this year. I feel really bad for the guy.

$2.4 million on the books for Chambers? I guess if you have money to spare...

When did Chambers play for the Patriots that Pioli and company would be interested in him?

Don't understand why the Pro-bowlers are chosen midseason when the Pro-Bowl game happens at the end of the year. Really really dumb idea

Not a homer pick at all....unless he is getting graded strictly on the amount of sacks he has been responsible for, which i would then agree he shouldnt be anywhere close to a PB birth.

Rodgers numbers

Passing yds.. 7th in the NFL, 2nd in the NFC

Completion %... 11th in the NFL, 4th in the NFC

Average yds per completion... 1st in the NFL (tied) 1st in the NFC

Yds per game... 7th in the NFL, 2nd in the NFC

TD's..... 6th in the NFL, 3rd in the NFC

INT's... 2nd best in NFL only Wallace (Sea) and McNabb (Phi) have thrown fewer.

Passer rating.... 1st in the NFL.

So using just stats, he is most definately worthy of a PB position.

Agreed about McKinnie, but Hutchinson has been great for their running game. I'd probably take McKinnie out and put in either Gross or Otah.
