No Butt Stuff posted:you'd also gently caress up a lot of contract incentives. I didn't say wipe out naming a one-year pro bowl roster just not have an actual all-star game every five years. So some years you have a field day. Some years you have the all-star game. Maybe don't even call that game the pro bowl anymore. Just use that for the roster. Then other years you do other fun activities. The NFL clearly wants to do stuff with that pro bowl week. So I'm just having ideas with how to use it year to year.

Kawalimus posted:But it's about the performances over a 5-year period. Not just the top WRs from the year the game is played. But if it were 5 years ago and those guys had been the best over the last five years then maybe! Ok, on top of everything else that people have brought up, how many guys on the over-30 team would even want to show up and play? Dudes in their physical primes don't even show up as it is, and you propose a whole team of aging players whose bodies don't recover as quickly as they used to and who would all be aware that their time in the league could end in an instant.

If they must do something then scrap the whole pro bowl roster thing. Send out an open invitation to the entire NFLPA and let guys sign up who want to participate. Have a 40 yard dash contest. Have a strongman contest. Have a kicking contest. Whatever else. At least then you have guys who want to be there. I still don't think it would be a draw.

Well the game would never be physical like a real game. That's how any all-star game is. They play the all-star game in hockey and hockey's a physical game too. Even a 40 year old guy played in an NHL all star game recently. And over 30 year olds have played in the pro bowl in the past. It's mainly a fun activity but there's a shade of intrigue to it.

And yeah they could do this sort of thing in other years. That's another cool idea to have. Sometimes you just have to experiment with things. You can't just be a naysayer and say "oh this won't work and that won't work". To me that's how corporate culture thinks of everything. They don't experiment. If they don't know for a fact it won't make a buck they won't put money into it. And that ruins all our minds and we are taught to think that same way about everything. Any chance it won't work??? Then never try it!!!!

Actually, I think this could be interesting if it was geared towards giving lesser-known players a chance to get their names out there and show off some skills that might not be apparent on the bench or on a lovely team

This is a decent idea but also they should literally hand the players cash for winning. Win the footrace in your position group? You get handed $10000 in a sack with a dollar bill sign on it. Like idk how much anyone in here knows about skateboarding but there's been several contests that are similar. They just give 500 bucks to the first person to do each specific trick down a huge stair set or something with a bonus for doing it first try or whatever.

Send your buffest kickers and punters. Quarterbacks do 3 cone drills.

However, both McNabb and Warren Moon were sacked 12 times in a game once and... 10 other guys 11 times McNabb got sacked by: Osi Umenyiora x6 Mathias Kiwanuka x3 Justin Tuck x2 and that lazy bitch Michael Strahan only got him once.

I would retire if I were him. If I win another SB right now what do I have left to prove. That would solidify him as a Hall of Fame coach if he's not already there which I'd say he is. He has his issues with time management but I consider Reid one of the few coaches in the league I actually respect and consider worthy of his position.
