  1. And you just fucking know that he’ll end up getting at least 2nd team all pro too. These awards are a popularity contest nothing more. It’s bullshit but that’s the way it is. We know we got a dawg in Adebo though.

  2. This makes no sense tho, even if we all know Pro Bowl is a popularity contest (just see Ramsey getting in with his name alone again, even missing half the season).

    But first, Gardner plays in the AFC, so comparing him to Adebo is nonsense.

    Second, an Elite CB will not get much tackles, INTs and PDs simply because QBs won’t throw his way. So those stats are kind of useless here.

    Third, PFF has Gardner rated as 3rd best CB this year. Take their “grading system” as you wish, but it’s probably still better than comparing those stats.

    That being said, I’m very happy with how Adebo and Taylor stepped up this year, even more after Lattimore went down again.

  3. If Marques Colston taught us anything is that the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest and has no reflection what happens during the actual season

  4. Pro bowl has always been a popularity contest. Football is the best sport in the world, but it has the worst all star “game” of any sport

  5. While yes, adebo did get snubbed, sauce is definitely one of the best corners in the league.

  6. I gave up on seasonal awards once I saw that Aaron Rodgers has 4 MVPs despite being the greatest underachiever in modern football while Drew Brees has none.

  7. I just disagree here a little. I love Adebo, but using these numbers to measure a CB isn’t how anybody professional assesses talent at that position. If a DB has a WR locked down, he might not get a tackle all game or forced fumble or INT all game. His guy was so covered the QB didn’t even try to throw it to him all game.

  8. More solo tackles from a CB typically means more receptions from the opposing receiver. More receptions typically mean more attempts. More attempts means QB has the opening they were looking for.

  9. Sauce did not have a good year , I guess people just hanging onto that first season.

  10. Get Adebo in some them IV Waste commercials and some Juan LaFonta joints. Get him on TV like Sauce.

  11. Watched Sauce this year and the QBs wouldn’t throw to whoever he was guarding that’s how good he was and why he got the nod.
