Every year there are a couple of players who don’t make the Pro Bowl team that have stats to show. Every year there is a debate about who selects the teams and where do they get the credentials. It is time for the NFL to allow players, coaches, and fans each have a say in the voting process.  The players know you they believe should be on the team, and the coaches also have a good understanding on who should make the team. The fans are voting on a popularity contest with each player that represents them making the team.  I truly don’t believe in the Pro Bowl. It’s the end of the season after the Super Bowl game which is only a vacation for players in Hawaii that really don’t want to play. 

If the current selection process is not working the NFL needs to go to a system that both the AFC & NFC needs to use.  Only players that rank in the top 5 in all categories that matter for their position can be put on the ballet.  For instance, Warren Sapp of the Oakland Raiders lead all interior defensive linemen in sacks with 9 should be on a Pro Bowl team.  Five years ago when he was popular these stats would have guaranteed him a spot, now he can’t even make it as an alternate. Post season stink for all star games and the NFL needs to change this up before the Pro Bowl game gets designated the Garage Bowl.
