He graded out as the 2nd best run blocking OL in the NFL this year. Behind only Marshal Yanda. And thats ALL OL, not just Guards. He was just horrid at pass blocking.

He WAS good this year. He got snubbed because of how the team did this year. Our D was very good this year. A lot of snubs to go around.

Congrats to our guys who made it.

I just Iupati'd in my pants.

That should help sign his next contract. Happy for him and thanks for those good years, best of luck with the next team.

He might be the worst pass blocking G to ever make 3 pro bowls.

The only two that deserved it in my opinion, in addition to Anquan Boldin -- imagine our already lackluster offense without him

Congrats to our pro bowlers

The 2 dudes that don't deserve to be in the Pro Bowl and they get in. Shows u how much this thing really is a popularity contest. Antoine Bethea and possibly Perrish Cox are more deserving the offense was a joke especially the line play with our line being the worst in the league.

OL always make it by reputation not actual season performance.

Not exactly a stacked team. You could argue that no 49er deserves the Pro Bowl this year.

Our cupboard is somewhat bare when you think about it.

For what it's worth, PFF graded out Staley as the 4th best Tackle (18th in pass pro, 1st in run blocking), and Iupati graded out as the 14th best Guard (58th in pass pro, 2nd in run blocking).

Based on these grades, which come from analyzing each play, Staley is deserving of a Pro Bowl spot, Iupati not so much despite his prowess in the run game.

I also personally thought Staley had a solid season. The o-line as a whole was terrible, because a good o-line requires all 5 guys to play in unison. Staley did his part.

The right side of the line was a huge problem area. It took Boone most of the season to get back into form, and J. Martin was completely useless at RT. Injuries to Kilgore and A. Davis killed the line.

Neither earned their election this year. The probowl is for the best players and neither of these two are the best or even 2nd best at their position in the NFC this year imo.

Out of pity...

Lol what? You can say they were depleted with injuries and suspensions and maybe some guys were not playing up to par, but to say the cupboard is bare is silly. When this team is full strength , make no doubt about it, they are loaded.
I do agree though the case could be made for no pro bowlers this year. Although I thought Bethea , Cox, Reid and Borland were all worthy
