Prisco's Overrated Lists.

Buffalo Bills
Ruben Brown, G. He goes to the Pro Bowl ever year on reputation. There are some Bills who insist he might be the worst of the offensive line group now. It's not that he's a bad player. He's just not Pro Bowl deserving.

At least hes" right about Jr. :)

THat's why the Pro bowl stat is over rated.

Look at Miami

Madison, Thomas, Seau, Marion. These guys aren't Pro Bowl players anymore. Sure they were 4 years ago, but not anymore. They get in with their name.

i don't agree with prisco too often but he's right about brown.

I agree, Ruben only makes based on past reputation. I wouldn't mind seeing someone else from the Bills line make it to the probowl.

Hey lay off Ruben. He proably leads the league in some statistical category, like ummmmmm....penalties :huh:

[casdhf]

Ruben is good.

[The_Philster]

The Pro Bowl is mostly a popularity contest based on name recognition as well as play. Heck, Tasker made it as a special teamer in a year he hardly saw any action in special teams.

[Jan Reimers]

Brown is probably an average player at this point, but if he's our least effective O lineman, we're in pretty good shape.

I think its funny that all us armchair QB's think Ruben sucks but somehow he still gets in with the vote of the coaches and players, as well as the fans.

I hardly think coaches and players are voting him in based on his past reputation.

DIdn't our new OL coach say that Brown has the best technique in the league? I believe he said something to that effect during the preseason.

Ruben can still block. He gets stupid penalties which is why he irritates so many fans. He can still block. 1/3 of the votes come from fans. I'm sure that occasionally players get an edge from that but not year in and year out. Other players and coaches aren't voting based on popularity. Well, at least I hope not.
