Pro Bowl starters and usually the high back-up spot i'll give credit. It's almost always players that are top 4 in there conference. No reason to disrespect them.Definitive proof that the Pro Bowl means absolutely nothing.
Once you get to alternates (which is what this thread is referring too) it's gets real dicey. It basically becomes the committee calling players asking "whose not gonna make a deep playoff run", "whose still healthy", "do you even want to do it physically or do you want to just relax".
For example last year two weeks before the pro bowl Brees told them he's too hurt to play and then they called Matt Ryan and he didn't want to do it so then they called Dak Prescott and he said yeah. Dak got pro bowl last year because like 4 or 5 other players where either injured or declined it.
For instances like that it's a joke I agree
