One Argo on CFLPA all-star team

[ArgoRavi]

Chris Van Zeyl was the only Argo to make the CFLPA all-star team this year. This is a bit of a surprise given that Van Zeyl didn't seem to have a great year but I think that reputation plays a big role on who makes this squad. Tyron Brackenridge played very little safety for the Riders this year but still managed to make the CFLPA all-star team at that position.

Van Zeyl had nowhere near an all star season, agree reputation plays a major role in this voting.

Obviously, because Tyrone Brackenridge had such a bad year at safety, the team moved him back to LB.

I thought Chad Owens had a shot at MLB to be honest with you.

Come on....This isn't the NHL. Remember when Alex Ovechkin was the all star LW and RW?

Why are there 14 players listed on offence? Naming two running backs I can sort of understand, but fullbacks as every down players are non-existent in today's CFL, or NFL for that matter.

Yes, that's why these votes are a farce.

the league all-star team doesn't recognize the FB position but there are fulltime FBs in the league such as Cote, Lumbala etc. So I believe the CFLPA includes it so no one is left out
