How many Giants have been in recent Pro Bowls?

JFIB : 11/14/2014 8:59 pm
I tried to find the answer on line but had no luck. Just curious how we stack up lately compared to other franchises because I don't imagine we'll have many players voted in this year.

in 2013 (2014 game) and Eli, Cruz, Snee, and JPP in 2012 (2013 game)

Rolle and Eli I believe were replacements.
Can't see anyone making it this year.

How often does it happen that a team sends no players to the Pro Bowl?
not sure I think very often  
pjcas18 : 11/14/2014 9:10 pm : link
its not like baseball where every team sends someone.
no Pro Bowlers this year

. None.
Even if we had NO injuries..

there would be nobody who would be worthy.
I know you don't like him

TylerAimme/EricJ or whatever your handle is these days but Eli Manning is having a pro bowl season, but he won't get elected to go
Eli is having a good year  
pjcas18 : 11/14/2014 9:50 pm : link
he's 5th in the NFC in TD's (1 out of 2nd) and 7th in yards. With a good second half he could be a legitimate pro-bowl candidate if he's not now.

Don't laugh

But Donnel, if he catches 5 more touchdowns, may have a shot. JPP as well. No one Elat though looks even close. Although prince was playing at close to pro bowl level pre injury

I think you are right. Eli is having a very good season. If not for Eli, we may have one win this year. This is not a knock on Eli...just that it is hard to be in the top 2 in the conference. As long as Rodgers plays in the NFC, then the rest of the QBs are fighting for just one spot? Plus it is a popularity contest to some extent and for some reason Eli still does not gain the respect of many other fans out there. I also think a lot of people dont know Eli is having a decent season and they still think he is playing like last year.
Eli has a realistic shot

Rodgers is a lock.
Romo will be a lock too.

Then you have Brees, Ryan, Eli, Wilson vying for 1 spot. And Eli has been just as good if not better than all of them this year.

Unfortunately it becomes a popularity contest. I also think people look at the Giants and how lousy we are playing and they link that to Eli...unfairly
OBJ

if he keeps up this pace, has an outside chance.
Rolle is 2nd in fan voting this year  
BigBlueinChicago : 11/14/2014 11:27 pm : link
among safeties.

Clearly the fans are not watching the games.

I do believe this will be the 3rd straight year the Giants will not have a player selected to the All-Pro team, the real indicator of the lack of upper-tier talent on the roster.
TD's matter  
SGMen : 11/14/2014 11:52 pm : link
Donnell is the only Giant with a realistic shot at making probowl - FIRST ALTERNATE.

Eli, same, - first alternate.

JPP - 2nd alternate

Rolle - 2nd alternate

Honestly, I don't think any Giant makes the probowl roster but there will be players that sit out due to injury, playoffs, etc., so some Giant will make it. My money goes on Donnell right now.
Donnell will have a hard time making it

with Graham, Witten, Olsen, and Bennett being much bigger names.
Eli is playing...  
Chris in Philly : 11/15/2014 8:26 am : link
very well this year, but he has zero shot at the Pro Bowl. Come on people. The only one who has a chance is Rolle.
