All-Pro and All-Disappointment Teams 2006

The Pro Bowl is an honor. Being named All-Pro is something every player strives to achieve. But being named All-Blog? That’s outstanding. Here are my first and second All-Pro teams. There’s probably too much emphasis on statistics, but I think all these guys are great players. The linemen have to have been on the original Pro Bowl rosters. It’s going to shortchange some guys, but it makes things easier for me. Parenthesis indicates second team:

Offense:

Quarterback- Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts (Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints)

Halfback- LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers (Stephen Jackson, St. Louis Rams)

Halfback- Larry Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs (Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles)

Wide Receiver- Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis Colts (Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams)

Now for the opposite spectrum. These are the guys with the dubious distinction of being the All-Disappointment Domain team. These guys failed to live up to their draft expectations, expectations of their new team and their standards, whether it be because of circumstance, injury or just being overrated.
