Still mad Hester made it over Stefan Logan.
Logan is infinitely better.

huh?
I love Whit, but the best OT in the game?!? Not so sure about that one…
I'm sort of surprised to see Adrian Foster win the fan vote.
I thought Chris Johnson would win it on pure popularity.

I guess people are actually judging based on performances… for the most part.

It's great for Whit...
…but I am a bit stunned as well. Leading the Pro Bowl selection as an offensive lineman for a 3-11 small market team. Does he have his own PR department?
WHY?????? HOW????????
do people just vote for the frontrunner over and over again? somebody explain how he’s better than the other 31 LTs in the game!!!!!
Yeah, pretty much.
If it weren’t for Cincy Jungle raising awareness about Whitworth, I wouldn’t have voted for the Pro Bowl. Since the NFL encourages ballot stuffing and it’s pretty easy to revote, I voted for all eligible Bengals twice and for Whitworth about fifty times. The Pro Bowl has nothing to do with how good you are, it’s entirely a popularity contest.
Ann Arbor is a trollop.
cmon, Whitworth aint that bad...
But he isn’t the best. Id put him in the top 5-10 tackles though. Good to see him get some pro bowl love. He probably has family voting all day lol

Whit
Yea, Whit is having a great year. According to Pro Football Focus, they rate him as the third best LT in the NFL and second best LT in pass protection. I’m really happy he’s getting the recognition and I’m glad people aren’t applying individuals to teams — otherwise the Pro Bowl would just be a collection of players on playoff teams.

Nobody on this team is more deserving of a Pro Bowl appearance than Whit
I was watching him pretty closely during the Browns game and he was throwing blocks 10 yards down the field at times. I’m happy to have this guy representing the Bengals. He’s the classiest, hardest working talent on the team by all appearances.
This is our year!
