Should the Pro Bowl be moved back to after the Super Bowl?

I feel that it should be moved back to after the Super Bowl, that way Pro Bowlers that play in the Super Bowl game can participate.

I like the new Pro Bowl format, that being said I still don't watch it. It's not a real football game to me. It should be played after the Super Bowl so that those who are in the Super Bowl can still participate.

Of course. Czar Roger and his henchmen made another unwise choice with this one.

The NFL pro bowl is a tough sell to the players and fans! I'm an Avid Lions fan and the Pro Bowl was not enjoyable for me cause I cringed at ever carry Barry Sanders had because of fear of injury. In response to your question, prior to the switch, most of the Super Bowl participants barely played anyways. So, Before is better. I would much rather just keep the skills contest and make the game for reserves and free agents to showcase their talents

I don't even watch the Pro Bowl anymore. Nobody is giving a 100% and I don't blame them. Players don't want to get hurt and jeopardize their career over a game that doesn't count.

Yes. Some of the best players in the NFL are unable to play if they're in the Super Bowl. And what's up with two ex-players picking the players for the teams? Let the NFC and AFC play each other again!

I agree. If a player is good enough to be elected to the pro bowl they should at least have the opportunity to play.

Yes it should due to the fact that a lot of the players, will not be at the game, because they are in the playoff run.

Other than it still being a money maker for the NFL--and let us not forget, first and foremost, the NFL is big business--I just don't see the point of the Pro Bowl anymore.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The ProBowl... Is the NFL still doing that?

But honestly, when you look at the game and you know ALL the players are going at half speed to protect themselves for the next season, I'd rather they make an "All Madden" team of gamers vs. actual players. At least that would be at full speed and Bellechik can't cheat, and Manning would still look stiff in the pocket. Maybe RGIII can get in on the game being the Skins won't let him play in theirs
