3 seasons and Schoen and Daboll have yet to acquire a single Pro Bowl player for the team

In 2007, Dallas had a record 16 Pro Bowl players... and lost to us.

That is true, but that doesn't mean teams with fewer Pro Bowl players have a competitive advantage.  Rather, that fact points to the fundamental weakness of the current management team.

May I add Malik Nabers is pretty special, maybe he will emerge

You're right. I don't think there's a competitive advantage either way. The Pro Bowl selections don't carry the same weight anymore. It's great for the players for monetary incentives but beyond that, they don't determine much on the field.

There still seems to be a pretty strong correlation between the number of PB players and how good the team is


Number of Pro Bowlers by team:
1. BAL: 9
2. DET: 7
T-3. MIN/PHI: 6
T-5. KC/DAL: 5
T-7. HOU/PIT/SF: 4
T-10. CIN/CLE/DEN/LAC/IND: 3
T-16. BUF/JAX/WAS/TB/LV/ARI/ATL: 2
T-23. NE/NYG/LAR/CAR/CHI/SEA: 1
T-28. NO/NYJ/TEN/MIA: 0

They certainly don't hurt lol

But look at the teams with 3 and 2. There's no rhyme or reason. Nothing can be gleaned from it and you can't pick out which teams are playoff bound and which ones aren't.

He made it as an alternate, I believe

People care about the pro bowl?  Rams have 1, San Fran has 4.  Yeah, I will take the Rams this year over the niners any time.

Nice, that's good to hear.

Also, Bobby Okereke who they signed in 2023 also had a big year, I believe over 149 tackles at the LB position, and many thought he got snubbed for the pro bowl that year.

So that may be two right there.

And you are absolutely correct, Nabers was selected as a pro bowl alternate this year.
