That does not look like a pro bowl performer to me.

Staley's downright bad run-blocking at this point is his career. He's still a good pass protector. But pro bowl?

The pro bowl is a joke anyway, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Vince Young, Michael Vick & Donnovan McNabb went to so many undeserved pro bowls I lost count.

lol youre just pulling this stuff out of your butt. Staley has been great this year. Hes been "downright bad in run blocking", yet hes +7.7 on the year in that area. Hmm...

I guess being ranked as the 6th best T in the NFL while going to his 5th straight Pro Bowl isnt good enough for some people...


Yup that guy clearly didn't know what he was talking about nice work

okay how Staley made it is a mystery?? Only Bowman deserved it IMO. Staley seemed to be getting burnt way too much. The Rams game was bad, but my gosh the Bears game took the cake.

Staley?

I guess Pro Bowl LTs never get beat, right? Some fans are ridiculous. Like it makes you seem like an unbiased, extra-informed fan if you dig on your own guys. The guy got skunked in the fan vote, which means players and coaches voted him in. I think they know the game better than most. The guy gets beat on occasion, like EVERY LT since Walter Jones has. Walter Jones was a once-in-a-lifetime player. Staley isn't, but he's a perrenial Prow Bowler for good reason. He's tough, quick, strong, and technically sound. He's a better run blocker than the other elite pass blockers, he's a better pass blocker than the other elite run blockers, he's tremendously scheme-versatile, and he's known throughout the league as a guy who brings it on every play for the whole game.

"he had two bad games, what a hack, lol"

Yeah don't agree Staley played at an all pro level this year

Agreed...Lynch and Williams. Lynch, like AA and Williams, will probably never get serious consideration d/t playing in the 3-4. Unless Lynch somehow blasts out 12 sacks, he'll likely not be a serious consideration. That said, they may make it as an alternate some day (ala Brooks).

Me too. I'm going by the eye ball test and I just don't see it.

Eye ball test aka cherry-picking a handful of negative plays that stick out in your mind.

Staley will play 1000+ snaps during the course of the year. He's been beat badly on some plays, but out of 1000 plays, he's one of the most consistent, dependable LTs in the league.

Good QBs throw INTs. Good receivers drop passes. Good pass rushers get pancaked. Good linebackers miss tackles. Good DBs get beat...etc.. Staley gets beat, but so what. That's competition. He's still a top 7-8 player at a very important position.

Niner fans...

Probably the only fan base that is negative about everything. They're even negative when one of their players gets elected to the pro bowl for God sakes. It's embarrassing.

LOL I like how Staley scored a +9.4 in 2011, yet everyone was hailing him as a Pro Bowl lock, yet in 2015 hes already doubled that total at +18.5 with 2 games to play, and people are saying he was horrible and has no business on the team.

This just proves that the average fan cant rely on the eye test, or perception. Everyone is just butthurt over the season in general.

Meanwhile, Bowman gets all this praise for his pro bowl nod, and he has looked very poor at times this year. LB always rack up tackle totals on bad defenses...

This Pro Bowl nonsense is a god dam joke. Staley has had a way down year and yet makes the Pro Bowl? C'mon get real.

SO many people are delusional. Staley had a great year.

Did you see the right side of the OL? If Staley had a crap year, Gabbert would be on life support right now.
