everybody listen up. He got torched for 1 TD where Torrey Smith made a great play. The first one wasn’t his fault. They played cover 3 and the safety bit on the dig rout coming in from the other side…
He didn’t look great on that play but he is the wrong person to blame for the first TD…
just sayin

This just says what a joke the pro bowl really is…a popularity contest instead of actual game play determining the rosters.

The Chump is done like dinner, he’s too old and too slow.

Just like Peyton.

Kind of funny how a special honor at one time has turned into a burden and consolation prize for NFL players.

Bailey allowed 2 TDs in the playoff game against the Ravens, which was bad. What people who claim that his skills are diminishing clearly are not aware of is the number of TDs he allowed in the regular season, and that would be 1. 1 TD, all year. So, sure, he is as much to blame as anyone for the Broncos’ loss to the Ravens (well, maybe not as much as Rahim Moore). But if you think he is no longer a top tier NFL corner, than you either don’t watch or don’t understand football.

Easy to see who got the better of the Portis (who’s biggest claim to fame was the clown outfits) trade.

He’s just glad Torrey Smith isn’t playing in the Pro Bowl.

Um, that’s cute and all, but if Torrey Smith was actually playing in the pro bowl then they would be on the same team.

How you managed to get 64+ thumbs up is beyond me.

Football 101 my friend…..you know NFC versus AFC…

Champ, that you?

So you are telling us there is a stat for most pro bowl appearances as well as selection? Can anyone else see how much of a joke this has become? The pro bowl is just a jv squad playing in Hawaii.

And,

Merlin Olsen with 14 selections
Ray Lewis with 13 selections

You guys are getting lazy.

Was a very very good player, but now?? No disrespect but he got burned multiple times and cost his team a chance to beat the Pats this post season.

The Pro Bowl is a joke now, but Champ does still deserve the accolades. He is still one of the best corners in the league

Gregbeau, yeah I guess everyone that voted for champ during the regular season should have waited until the playoffs so then they couldn’t even vote at all. Come on. Champ had another pro bowl caliber year, just happened to get torched a few times by a very good receiver who is 12 years younger than champ

Feel bad for Gonzo getting “injured” in his last game – Would think he would want to go out in Hawaii in a pro bowl – If thats your last game then thats impressive.

That also leads me to believe Gonzo will come back for another year.

I guess those doing the selection missed seeing him get toasted several times against the Ravens in the playoffs.

Good thing the Skins traded him for Clinton Portis. His skills were clearly on the downslope.

Great player on the field, better person off it. One of the best tackling corner I have ever watched play.
