Lynch Named to Ninth Pro Bowl

Quick congratulatory note to John Lynch for his ninth selection to the Pro Bowl. Lynch replaces injured Colt safety Bob Sanders.

Lynch will join Champ Bailey as the only Broncos in Honolulu.

It begs the question, though… a question one fellow fan blogger pointed out – does Lynch really belong in the Pro Bowl?

Statistically he certainly didn’t live up to even his own expectations. Largely due to injury, he faced a minimized role in the defense and was not as large of an impact player.

This is obviously a selection based solely off reputation.  I’d like to see him return to a larger role next year – and if he’s promised that, I think he’ll return for another year and earn his potential Pro Bowl.
