D. Hall is our lone Pro Bowl selection

Who cares that Hall made those INTs, TD, and was MVP, the quarterbacks weren't trying....etc...etc...." And meanwhile, if no Redskins player had made the Pro Bowl, then you guys would be pouting because the team had no pro bowl caliber representatives on the team. And I am saying, let it go already. All of you! Hall made the Pro Bowl. Whether if you agree with it or not, whether if you think it was anything worthwhile or not, the fact is, DeAngelo Hall was a Pro Bowl player this year and won the MVP award for the game. I don't care what type of stats you have or how you try to bend them, it doesn't erase the fact that Hall was a Pro Bowl player. I find it's much better to just accept it and be happy for him, rather than to complain and be critical about it for pages and pages.

With that said, D. Hall is not one of my favorites in regards to current Redskins players. He's not even in my top five, even though he is a VA Tech grad. I'm just sick and tired of the belly-aching that has become Redskins nation.

Well, then you're arguing a strawman: Skins fan who thinks that it's a horrible thing that DeAngelo Hall was allowed to play in the probowl and made the most of his opportunity. That person doesn't exist.

As far as whether he deserved to play in the pro bowl, that actually is beating a dead horse. The pro bowl selectors can't agree on anything without numbers, and those exist only for passers, rushers, receivers, and pass rushers. For cornerbacks, it's guys with lots of interceptions. I think everyone agrees that's a stupid way to do it, but a lot of people still use interception totals to defend selections.

A lot of fans are just very indifferent to the fact that Hall was a pro-bowler this year. Your problem seems to be with that, though I think that's a really silly thing to be worked up about: people not caring that Hall was elected to the pro bowl. Maybe next year, I can prepare to be really excited for the Redskins pro bowlers. I don't think it's going to happen though.
