Well years ago, the Pro Bowl voting used to more reliable. So many players drop out now, and it seems that coaches and players just vote for familiar names (say...Roethlisberger) over more deserving candidates. Players don't take it seriously at all and owners don't want their huge investments risking injury in an exhibition game.
They should scrap the game completely and just make it an award. That way you don't have 9th alternate QBs and 10th alternate WRs getting a "Pro Bowl" on their resume. Nobody cares about the game anyway, it's just the NFL trying to eke out a few more bucks.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
