We are finally going to see what Russ looks like with protection (Hope ciara listening too 8) )
Not only that hes going to be throwing to big name receivers like Julio Jones. Almost more excited about the pro bowl than i am about our regular season games.
Yes I'm sure Russell playing with a bunch of All Pro's not caring, laughing and going at 50% is really going a long way.
My idea for fixing the Pro Bowl is to have the bottom two teams have a one game playoff for the top pick in the draft. It'd be competitive and interesting.
I like your idea, but I'd take it a bit further... instead of it being the bottom two teams OR it being the best players in the game—you make it the "worst" players in the game.
So, every team (besides the 2 SB teams) submit a list of their (let's say, 15) "eligible" guys who they feel are borderline players at/or near the bottom of their teams depth chart. 106 (two 53-man teams) of those guys then get drafted by the bottom 2 teams GMs to form the "Pro Bowl Teams".
Those two teams of 53 play in the "Pro Bowl" with the winning players on the winning team each getting a $100,000 bonus (significant money for a guy at the bottom of a roster), the losers get $10,000 each (for being drafted).
I think this would make the Pro Bowl very enjoyable and filled with tons of storylines of players the casual fans might have never heard of before to keep people interested. Obviously, the bottom two teams coaches would be used to coach the players and set up game-planning.
Imagine how hard these bottom guys would play for that $100k check... I'd watch the hell out of that game.
