Pro Bowl is a joke. Even as a Patriots fan I know this. Eight Patriots got voted in. Brady, Welker, Gronk were no-brainers. Slater has been excellent on ST and probably deserved it, as did Waters (for being the lone bright spot on a fluctuating and injured O-line). Logan Mankins had no business being voted in. Andre Carter parlayed a few good sack-filled games into a spot, probably undeserved. Vince Wilfork, while solid, has not played the way you think a guy with his size and resume would. And Aaron Hernandez--who, as a #2 TE, had better numbers than Gates--deserved to go.
I said it before and I'll say it again: until they change the voting protocol, it's a joke. IMO it should be NFL coaches 50% (all coaches, not just HC), sportswriters and players 20% each, and fans 10%.
