Poll: McFadden, Ford, Janikowski or Kelly: Which Oakland Raider Was The Biggest Pro Bowl Snub

now that i think about it.DMC was to inconsistent,to many games where he was held under 50 yd per game.Ford only had about 100-200 yds less on KR than the guy that got the nod,but he also had 5 fewer att.his yds per att where a few ponts lower,but he had 3 for TD and all of them where longer than the other guys longest.the other guy did also return punts,but then again he was’nt playing WR the whole game either

Led the league in FGs made.

He has been the most electric return man all season and his contributions on offense as well can’t be ignored. While I think DMAC deserved recognition I am not upset about Charles getting in since he played in every game, led the league in yards per carry and his team won the AFC West. I am pretty sure if DMAC played in every game and we won the division him getting in would be a no-brainer. I am glad Sebass didn’t get in. He makes a fucking 60 yarder that ends up being meaningless last week in a muddy field but can’t kick a 38 yarder on turf in 73 degrees. I will not forgive him for that until he clinches a playoff spot for us or wins a playoff game with his leg. Also for a guy with such a big leg, he should be booming every kick into the endzone every time.

Maybe as a return man, he should have, but he was a late starter, and didn’t get as much opportunities as others in the nfl.

Change of pace back.
Nice way to Cherry pick stats to fit your hypothosis.
If you want to argue that McFadden is more deserving than MJD, Jamaal or Foster, go ahead, but don’t lie and say he has a bigger YPC than Jamaal, because it simply isn’t true.

Truth be told, Darren had a nice year, just not a pro-bowl year.

What a shame…numerically you could argue against the pro bowl starting role for Janikowski, McFadden, and Ford…but Tommy Kelly leads his position in sacks and has an absolute force on yet another year of solid pass rush. He’s just gotta be there, and alternate just isnt good enough. Maybe next year, Tommy.

He is nothing except barely adequate on his best day.

Don’t think you belong in the conversation unless you make playoffs.

Out of all those guys, I would say McFadden is most deserving. Only problem is that Chris Johnson (Tenn., not Oak) got snubbed too, and there’s no arguing that he had a better season then D-Mac.

For me Janikowski is the biggest snub. The guy led all kickers in FGs made, had a ton of long FGs, plenty of touchbacks, and overall had the numbers to make him the AFC Pro Bowl K.

McFadden, Ford, and Kelly had great seasons, but the players selected in front of these guys had equally great or even better seasons and its hard to argue for our guys ahead of them. Objectively though its easy to see that Janikowski had a more impressive year than Cundiff and is therefore the biggest snub.

On the surface DMC and JC are almost identical running backs in my eyes in terms of talent and skill. They both have blazing speed, a good ypc, and can catch the ball with the best of them. Can we not all not nitpick and agree that this is a fairly valid statement?

Now the claim that Charles is a change of pace or specialty back is as false as someone saying the same about DMC. JC led the entire league in yards per carry with 7 less then Mcfadden, and as we know did more with his carries.

So if you want to go that route… Michael Bush had 7 rushing TD’s this year, tied with DMC. Following your terms that would make Mcfadden a specialty back seeing as even you said it yourself DMC led the league in runs that were atleast 20 and 30 yards long for td’s.

Do you see the picture I’m painting here?

Darren McFadden/Jamaal Charles fore both of there teams were primarily used in the vast majority of rushes except for 3rd/4th and short and goal line situations. Michael Bush/Thomas Jones were used for… you guessed it, short yardage situations. Both 2 back systems were great, and is a big reason why both of us are considered the premier running teams in the NFL.

So you want to use Thomas Jones having more carries then him as a disqualification, that’s cherry picking. Because I could just say the same about DMC, why is a “premier” running back tied in TD’s with a 2nd string RB? and that 2nd string RB has about 90 less total carries.

I hate how you guys force me to argue against my boy DMC here, but it has to be said. DMC is a pro bowl worthy RB, there were just 3 this year better then him.

If this makes you feel any better… I do think McFadden is more talented, and will have the much better career.

History has shown that players that mostly get snubbed for pro bowl selections are those players who are not on a team that is going to the play-offs or at least has a winning record. The only way these guys will go now is if some players in their positions get hurt or replaced because they will rather be ready for the play-offs instead which is smart.

I think Chief fans are as happy with Jamaal as we are Darren. We should both be oh so lucky to have these amazing talents. If there’s football next year, it’ll be the year of “The Battle In The AFC West” Both Kansas and Oakland have captured the AFC West once again.

If you combine rushing and receiving 20+ plays he’s #1 in the NFL as a RB. Same goes for 40+ plays… #1. Only 3 WR’s had more big plays than him… DeSean Jackson, Mike Wallace, and Brandon Lloyd. Insane considering how much time he missed.
