It's nothing more than a popularity contest, you can tell by some of the laughable snubs vs. people who get in. It's the least or darn close to the least effective measure of a players talent or a teams ability to succeed of any measure in the sport. 123 Guys can call themselves Pro Bowlers. Add in the 35 that were invited but declined. 178 players. 11% of the league were or attempted to be named “Pro Bowl” players. I mean LeSean McCoy was a pro bowler in a year with 1200 scrimmage yards and 5 total TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that some guys do legitimately deserve it but at the same time, just as many are there because they're popular. Tom Brady could have a season where he throws 1 TD and 30 Ints and he'd still somehow get voted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
