Niner fans, we've got to step it up. Davis should be top 2 at TE at least and Andy Lee isn't even in the top 5 in votes

It's simple...
Tony Gonzalez is in because he's Tony Gonzalez, future HOF.
Shockey is in because the Saints are undefeated.
If our record was better than it is, VD would be number 1.
Agreed.
But I expect this to change once Duke breaks the TD record for a TE.

Damn Straight. Vernon will be in Hawaii representing with the best LB in football, P-Willy and our booming punter Andy Lee. The funny thing is we all know Vernon still has room to improve, but he is rockin!
Just FYI, the Pro Bowl is in Miami this season (don't even get me started on how STUPID I think that is...1- it'll be played A WEEK before the Super Bowl and 2- you can bet none of the players from the Super Bowl teams will play in the P.B.)[dazed]
thats funny because if Shockey doesn't play than Vernon is in if his position doesn't change after the coaches and players make their votes.
^ the only good thing that might come from the ''new'' Pro Bowl scheduling... i expect its another one of commish Goodell's goofball ideas. expect it to be played in primetime (to get more ratings)...maybe they can follow in the footsteps of the baseball All-Star game's silliness ("THIS TIME, IT COUNTS!" = winning league gets homefield advantage in World Series) where they make it so that whatever conference wins the Pro Bowl gets the Super Bowl team from that conference the opening kickoff in the Super Bowl...yeah that's right no more cointoss!

Regardless if its a popularity contest or not... we all need to go to nfl.com and put our votes in for VD every single day!

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...
Goes to show that the league didnt care much for Fred Taylor lol

its a popularity contest. If the 49ers were doing well, getting tons of recognition he would be in the spotlight more. He deserves to be a starter, no question.

Hype means more difficult contract negotiation, in the end, less value. Lisa is doing heck of a job controlling the hype.

Don't get me started on the changes that was made to the probowl thanks to f'n Goodell. I'm from Hawaii and to not see that game there is a damn shame. It was a win-win for the players and the state. If I were the players I would boycott the probowl. Who the hell wants to play a game a week before the superbowl when they are planning to enjoy the game?
