For Your Consideration: Chris Kuper

by IanHenson on Dec 2, 2011 5:00 PM MST

As the 2012 Pro Bowl voting comes to a conclusion Mile High Report will be endorsing several Broncos players for your consideration:

Quick question, who is the toughest opponent that Ndamukong Suh has ever gone head-to-head against in his NFL career? Quick answer: Denver Broncos right guard Chris Kuper. Kuper did something to Suh that has only happened twice in Suh's career-- shut him out.

If Suh is nasty Kuper is disgusting, former Denver guard Mark 'Stink' Schlereth called Kuper, "One of the nastiest players you will ever see, not only to the whistle but beyond the whistle."

Though the Mile High Report complete list of 2012 Pro Bowl endorsements will be revealed throughout the upcoming three weeks Kuper remains a long shot (thus the reason for this endorsement), get the word out vote early and often and make sure that you vote Kuper at guard on your ballot right here!

So, what are you waiting for? Vote Kuper to the the 2012 Pro Bowl before it is too late! Follow this link where all of your favorite Denver players are located at the top of the ballot for your ease in voting them into the game. Although if the Broncos make the Super Bowl it will all be all for nothing.

For Your Consideration will be a tri-weekly series leading up to the 2012 Pro Bowl voting finale on December 19th. Feel free to vote for your favorite players here and be sure to follow Mile High Report on Twitter and Facebook as well as me via The Orange Page.

Thanks Joe

We need to get the awareness out across all of the Broncos fans. Let’s get Kuper into the Pro Bowl!

Completely Agree

I made a stupid comment after the Oakland game about Kuper’s abilities to which I was properly rebuffed. Dude is as good as it gets and has earned every dollar of his $7m salary this year.

He absolutely deserves to make it to the Pro Bowl!

I’m glad I was wrong!

I mean i'm gonna vote for him anyway

but got any stats or comparisons across the league to wet others’ whistle who may actually need a reason besides Suh?

Thanks Ian

and don’t forget the others that are deserving while you’re at it Bronco fans!

Any year we beat the Raiders twice, it was a successful season!

he is doing a different deserving Bronco each day

He started with Von, now Koopa Stompa.

Next will be Colquitt, or Bailey, or Clady, or Walton, or Bunkley, or DJ

At least, those are the players I’d nominate.

Q. Why doesn't St. Paul have a professional football team?
A. Because then Minneapolis would want one!

Thank you guys

Really appreciate everyone reading. We will have a new nomination up basically every two days (Mon, Wed, Fri) leading up to December 19th.

Really good guesses on who we’re endorsing. A lot of the speculation has us considering/reconsidering some.

I voted for him over and over

I love that you hardly ever hear his number by the refs.

That's good news Kimber!

Hopefully this is the spark that the voting community will notice.

Chris Kuper has been a selfless football player...

For the start of the season e not only played his position, but mentored Oralndo Franklin in his. It’s hard enough focusing on your own assignment, but when you have to pay attention to a rookie and make sure he knows where and how to line up then that says a lot about Kuper’s abilities as a player and a human being…Vote for this guy, he really does deserve to go….

Great reply.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Yeap

Kuper is playing a great football for us.

I was a bit skeptical about him in the beggining of the season, after our OL was hammered the whole night on the opener… But he is a stud, and the entire OL is playing nice.

#73

This is a stupid reason to vote for him but I wore #73 when I played in high school, because of this Chris Kuper has always been one of my favorite Broncos because of this.

I hope he makes it, I truly think he’s one of the elite guards in the league.
