VOTED? Who are these voters?
If London were on a team like the Steelers or Cowboys, and his stats were exactly the same. He would be top 10. Bunch of hater clowns!
I'm glad he made the list but, still not the respect he deserves. |

His stock will rise significantly if the next and last couple of years of his career coincide with a Redskins revival.
Success sticks in the mind, people will start talking about the Redskins again if we're competing for the division and making the playoffs. They will then look to the reasons why and suddenly everyone will be saying how much they've always loved London Fletcher..... |

Can't we just appreciate London for who he is without the hyperbole?
He is a two time pro bowler with a Super Bowl ring (1999, St Louis Rams). Sure, he's a little under appreciated, but he's a very, very good player... just not great. |

In a weird twist, he's also widely acknowledged for being under appreciated.  |

London Fletcher is widely recognized by both his peers and by many fans as being a VERY good NFL player
Recognition by others AND especially the Pro Bowl voters is NOT at all important - being voted into the Pro Bowl should not carry ANY significance at all - this is a stupid popularity contest and means SQUAT
some players are recognized as being that special they can single handedly make a difference when they are playing
London Fletcher is that type of player - our defense needs him
London Fletcher will continue to help this franchise on the field and off
this is a HOF player - enough said |

Weird, but I completely agree with you, SJ.
With all of this talk about getting rid of the Pro Bowl next year, I hope the NFL still has some sort of All Star system. Preferably without fan voting. I think its still cool to acknowledge those guys who killed it during the year, especially if they aren't on winning team. |

agree with this - there needs to be a better way of 'recognizing' and making known the players that made a difference by their play
there has to be a better way
FOR A START - ANY form of player evaluation should NOT include anyone that kept players out of the HOF that clearly belong there 
THEY clearly do not have the ability to see what is going on between the lines  |

All depends.
When we write lists 1 is usually at the top, i.e., higher.
OTOH, 1 has a lower numerical value than 100.
Whateva.
