Not really...many defensive players get in without a SB ring. I think that "requirement" really gets pinned on QBs mainly.


Just look at the last 3 years, defensive players without a championship:
Andre Tippett
Bruce Smith
Rickey Jackson
John Randle
Derrick Thomas
Dick LeBeau


Yeah there are some major names on that list, but Fletcher has some of them beat I think.


Fletcher has one already though, then a long, consistently great career...plus that games played streak.

Am I wrong to think Fletcher should go in ahead of 'Rak?

They're both awesome players, but Fletcher seems like a bigger impact player (Orakpo could be if he wasn't clothes-lined every play).

[GridIron26]

Oh I didn't know that.. It would be absolutely great for Fletcher if he gets in HOF, only because he basically proved everyone wrong..

Buster, you are probably right about the QB part..

Redskins add a pair of Pro Bowlers | ProFootballTalk

Fletcher gets the nod!

[Longtimefan]

Redskins linebacker London Fletcher has been named to the Pro Bowl roster, replacing Brian Urlacher, who suffered an injury in the Chicago Bears' loss to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC championship game.

"I am extremely honored to play in the Pro Bowl," Fletcher said in a statement released by the Redskins. "I am very excited to make the trip to Hawaii. I would like to thank all of my teammates, coaches, fans and everyone else who played a part in getting me here."

He'll join Brian Orakpo, who replaces Clay Matthews Jr., of the Packers, and DeAngelo Hall on the NFC team.

"It's great to get to go to the Pro Bowl again in just my second season in the league," Orakpo said in a statement. "I am excited about going to Hawaii, where the Pro Bowl has been for so many years. Last year was fun, but it will be special getting to play in Hawaii. I want to thank all my teammates and coaches for helping me get here, and I also want to thank all of the fans who voted for me."

Glad to see Fletcher going.

Wooooooooooo!


Congrats London, you deserved it.

What was Urlacher's injury?

Im sure people will still hate D Hall, guy made his case yet again why he deserved to be on the probowl roster. Its truely funny and sad skins fans continue to hate literrally the only true playmaker on this team. It would be nice to include Laron, but he cant stay on the field long enough to be considered.

We just have to realize that some of these younger 'skins fans don't know what it means to have pride in their favorite team. They grow up during the losing years and all they know how to do is to hate on the team and to shoot down any positives the team, or its players receive.

You just don't understand what it means to "keep it real".

Sure he's a playmaker, but he's also a huge liability as well. Think Allen Iverson. AI lead the league in steals (and scoring) on numerous occasions, yet failed to make a single NBA All-Defensive first or second team his entire career. You got to ask yourself why is that? How can a man lead the league in steals, yet not even get a whiff of the all-defense team. I tell you why, it's because he was a gambler. He left his man on many occasions and played the passing lanes. In the end, it look good on paper, but it cost his team games and created a huge liability on the defensive end.

I equate that with D-Hall. The guy is a play maker, but consistency is where it's at in the league, not ESPN highlights. You can't get 4 INTs in one game, and turn around and let some scrub WR beat you on a deep route to win the game because you aren't disciplined enough to play the position.

Any Redskin fans talking about "younger fans" and other bull shit. Listen, I'm damn near 40 years old and I've seen the Skins in their glory years so it has nothing to do with the crap this other guy was saying a few posts back. It's called "being a realist". I can cheer on my favorite team without being a clueless homer that believes that their players are more valuable or have no flaws.

LOL, strike a nerve?...hes still a probowler x 3 and an Probowl MVP at that...look to other areas of the team, at CB we are solid. He may cost he team plays... but games? Nope, dont buy that.

I'd rather think Brett Farve. leads the league in INT's yet...
