Shockey has always had a lot of support, even when he was in NY. It is even higher now with NO's record. Also, he has missed some PT due to injury yet still has good numbers.
Davis gets hurt because of his drops and penalties along with the relatively poor record of the team. His TD total alone does not make up for the other issues, according to this vote.

If Davis doesn't go, it might one of the biggest snubs, ever.

This just shows fans shouldn't get a say so in voting.

in a case like this it is a sure fire thing, you know that every single player and coach in the NFL is going to vote Davis first, because unlike the majority of a lot of fans, they actually know who is having a huge year rather than who the popular name is...i'd actually predict the final votes resulting in Davis > Shiancoe > Gonzales
when its not 100% clear who a leader is, is when the fan vote can often sway favor to the wrong guy, but considering davis only needs 2 TD's to tie the NFL record for TE's..im pretty sure that isnt going to happen...

fukin bulls**t, how is someone on the verge of breaking the all time td catches for a TE and does not make the probowl
what is the all time TD record for tight ends in a season?
All time record I believe is 13 in a single season, set by the chargers' Antonio gates a few years back. So VD only needs two more TDs to tie and three to break the record, which he is on pace for...

3, and in the NFC AP and Steven Jackson should go for sure. its a toss up between DeAngelo Williams or Gore as the last spot, so 4th place for Gore is about right.
Williams has about 250 more rushing yds, but Gore missed time, and Gore has 3 more total TD's, with 2 less fumbles and they have about the same receiving numbers.
id honestly go gore, but it wouldnt be an outrage if he didnt get it.

Davis will go. the fan voting is only partial. the AP and players/coaches get votes too. the fans should have voting privileges stripped because they have no idea how to vote. dont get me started on how dumb the fan voting is.
