You could make it after 10 games, put it in the middle of the season, put a bye week around it so players can rest and play. I think a big part of why it's not popular is b/c the season is already over, the other major sports have all star games in the middle of the season & have much more entertaining all star game contests...and if folks are scared they might get hurt they should just cancel it all together
Disagree the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest but you need the entire season to judge if a player is at the best at his position. I actually think it should be played later after the Superbowl like late Feb early march.
I disagree...remember most of this is a popularity contest so the Peyton Manning's & Adrian Petersen's will always get top billing. With coaches picking the reserves they would do a great job picking b/c their scouting players & the league 24/7. I know it sounds far fetched but it could work

The statement does not warrant a debate on the merits.So we post smileys instead of actually debating the merit of what we post now?

injuries are a big deal in football. its the reason no one really watches the pro bowl...football half assed is not good.You could make it after 10 games, put it in the middle of the season, put a bye week around it so players can rest and play.

the shyt is retarded all around. The reason it works for baseball and basketball is because you don't can't really go half ass in football like you can in baseball cause it looks obvious. You can't joke around and have fun because you're on a field in helmets. And if you go all out dudes get hurt like yesterday.
Unlike the dunk contest you had the top guys out there too.
Not sure why they ever stopped that shyt.
at the pro bowl being in the middle of the season. nikkas already don't wanna play now and it's after the season,
players (or coaches or teams for that matter) are gonna want to play a meaningless yet potentially dangerous exhibition in the middle of season? Football is not like other sports.
