Pro Bowl Roster and Errors and Snubs

 By John Turney
These are the Pro Bowl rosters and some picks we think would be better. Some of the picks are just wrong, others just marginally wrong. The linemen and linebackers are the most questionable in our view.

  1. There HAS to be DE's in the AFC that have had better seasons than Frank Clark. I've watched every snap this season and his impact has been very, very underwhelming.

  2. Watson over Tannehill ? I dont think so ... he has won more comebacks than Watson has, games. I agree with Tonyan at TE ... Missing four games, is Adams worthy ? He is better closer to the line of scrimmage ...
