No Fair Way of Voting

There is probably no fair way to select the Pro Bowl team. The Pats are well represented, but other players should have been included.

I still feel that giving the fans a voice was not the best idea. The NFL wants input from the fans, but this type of voting gets abused.

The league prohibits players and coaches from voting for their own team. Not all players are knowledgeable of the other players in the league. Some get selected purely on their reputation.

The honor gets further diluted when players withdraw for various reason. That happens every year, especially with quarterbacks. Pretty soon you end up with a starter who got on the team only because of attrition of those in front of him.
