If I was Trubisky, you'd have to kidnap me and hold me hostage until the game is over. I don't know much about Mitch as a kid, but when I was a kid it was the ultimate dream. Let him play in one before he starts passing on the opportunities.
It's being recognized by your league and your peers/fans. That's going to give him a boost in confidence any way you dice it. More importantly to me, this gives him time to really pick the brains of a lot of the league's elite QBs.

G08... Is it just me or does Biscuit look like Neel Kolhatkar in your avatar?

I just hope he continues to grow and prove all those doubters on Draft day (and after the Draft) wrong. I'm sick of Skip Bayless, Colin Cowherd, Stephen A. Smith, Michael Lombardi and all the retreads that talk shit about Biscuit to this day trying to validate an opinion they had of him the day after he got drafted.
Pro Bowl being a joke or not, it is an honor that Trubisky was considered and invited.
My father-in-law, who lives for sports thought he would watch the game, because it is a sport (sort of). He told me he had to turn it off because it was so bad. It was rather disgusted with what he saw. He also wondered why the hell they have this game anymore if this is how they are going to play. I saw some highlights, BAD.
I threw it on for the first time in over a decade and holy shit was it bad. All the pre stuff as well was garbage. Dodge ball? What the hell does that have to do with football? The QB accuracy stuff that's fun to watch but man these guys are pro bowl QBs and most couldn't hit the targets lol. how about set it up more like a player on the field instead of a bird they're trying to hit it has to mess with their perspective and has nothing to do with football.
Football skill contest were the only interesting things. It would be interesting to see as a fan them just run some of the combine stuff again just to see where they stack up as pro bowlers compared to pre NFL.
Run drills, have individual contests screw the game. Rather watch them play flag football against the national kids teams than risk injury in a full-contact game.
”Damn -- Khalil Mack had another strip sack?” Gruden asked rhetorically, shaking his head at the Oakland Raiders assistant coaches in his midst. “Are you ... kidding me?”

They should bring back the QB skills challenge from the 90's. They had moving targets that would actually be similar to a WR running routes. And quite frankly, it was much more fun to watch - right now it's a circus.
The game itself is an entire joke, guys don't run hard, no tackling, no blitzing - and I don't blame them, who the heck would want to get hurt in this meaningless game?

I would MUCH rather tune in to see them play dodge ball than a quarter-assed game of football, where a serious injury is still very possible.

Hello, my name is Moriarty. I have come to kill your website, prepare to die.
I don't know man. It's been like a decade since anyone was hurt in the pro bowl...Brees dislocated his elbow in 2007 when Suggs sacked him. So, to me that's just a non-factor when considering the worth of this game.
It's watered down football. You're not going to see big hits for the most part (I remember Hester getting drilled and getting up like WTF was that?). It's football, it's my favorite team's players, I'm going to watch it.
