Three Reasons Why Matthew Stafford Should Be A Pro Bowler - SideLion Report - SideLion Report - A Detroit Lions Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

]]> As you know, Matthew Stafford wasn’t elected to the 2012 Pro Bowl.  Calvin Johnson was the only Lion voted to be on the Pro Bowl roster.  That is dissapointing considering the great season the Lions are having.  Instead of Matthew Stafford, Eli Manning was selected to the Pro Bowl behind Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers.  There is no doubt that both Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees deserved to be Pro Bowlers but many are not sure that Manning should have been chosen before Stafford.  Below, is three reasons why Matthew Stafford should have be a Pro Bowler instead of Eli Manning.

1.  Stafford has better stats

Matthew Stafford has better stats than Eli Manning in almost every major QB statistical category.  Stafford has 50 more completions than Manning, 10 more passing touchdowns, 2 less interceptions, a better completion percentage, and a better QB rating.  Also, Stafford had more comeback wins.  Comeback gives you an idea of how clutch a QB is.  Stafford had four double-digit come-from-behind wins.  Did the fans, players, and coaches not look at the stats before voting?  Obviously not.

]]> Some say that players are named to their first Pro Bowl a year too late and their last Pro Bowl a year after they really deserve. That invariably leads to a list of players that should be Pro Bowlers in any given year that aren’t. Lists of Pro Bowl snubs hit the internet about as soon as the official Pro Bowl rosters are announced.

Given that it has been a decade since the Lions had any sort of national respect it might be easy for some to discount the accomplishments of Calvin Johnson and Ndamukong Suh, especially since Suh is just a rookie. Doug Farrar of Yahoo’s NFL blog, The Shutdown Corner, reviewed the NFC starters and gave their take on who should have received the honor.
