ProBowl

Just cancel the game and the activities. Fly the players out to Hawaii and have the award show. Make it a paid vacation to the players that earned the pro bowl nod.

Like this idea.

Wish they'd cancel the game going forward.

I had my suggestion in some other thread reposting here. I'd combine the Pro Bowl with the Senior Bowl. It would be NFL rookies vs draft eligible team of all stars. Imagine some college all star team vs Trey Lance throwing to Devonta Smith. Each club could send two rookies. Pros would get a share of the game take as a bonus college players get a showcase game to up their draft stock. I would watch.

They used t have the college All Star Game where the college all stars played the NFL champion. They dropped it after they started playing the SB. It wasn't very competitive. It was cancelled after the 1974 season. The NFL had won 16 of the previous 17 games.

Yeah it would be a nod to that

One thing about that it was the NFL Champ vs a bunch of 20-22 year olds. This would be rookies vs college draft eligibles so maybe 1 year between them rather than a big age gap. Could make it more competitive but likely edge to the NFL guys. Trey would probably run circles around college players even all stars but would be fun to watch that.

College players opt out of bowl games. I doubt they would sign up to play in a all state game. I think the pro bowl needs to be dumped all together. It gives players like Andy Dalton something to bring up when he demands more money after he's the 4th alternate

Some drop of out bowl games I imagine some wouldn't sign up for this but out of hundreds of draft eligible I imagine you would get enough to fill a squad. Imagine recording a couple sacks vs NFL players or getting a couple touchdowns. Could vault people up the draft boards.

We have the Shrine bowl and senior bowl for those players

Do you watch the shrine bowl and/or senior bowl? If Trey Lance and Eli Mitchell are out there I'm watching. Mac Jones, Lawrence, Lance and Fields could all play a quarter. Would be fascinating.

Yes. What would Lawrence achieve playing in a all star game?

Straight cash homie. A paycheck. If they win even bigger paycheck.

First pick in the draft kinda cash? Cause that's what he would be risking.
just don't watch that crap.
Injuries are so much more important in football because majority of the teams sole reason they don't win are due to countless injuries. NFL teams don't need another full contact game that allows for another injury.
Other: Just retire the event.
Another idea how about a future game. So project the rules out 20 years. 7 on 7 two hand touch. Put sensors in the gloves so they can electronically register the two hand touch.

You can basically use the game to try out new rule ideas, changes, etc.

OL and DL players approve.

Players even opt out of those if they know they're going to be a high draft pick. Players are so afraid of getting hurt now I'm amazed that they don't live in a inflatable bubble.

Yeah players don't care about the fans entertainment in a pointless game and I don't blame them one bit.
