Mike Brown's record over the part 26 years doesnt generate much interest in the team outside of the Cincinnati area. Pro Bowl snubs are more of an indictment of Mike Brown than player performance.
If someone is measuring the ability of a Bengals' player by Pro Bowl appearances, that person doesn't know shit about the Bengals.
The mention of no Pro Bowls for Zeitler was in relation to him now being the Highest paid Guard in NFL History Einstein. Zeitler is a very solid Guard but we are talking about an ALL Time highest Guard Contract here. He is not the Best Guard in the NFL right now and definitely not the Best All Time. Cleveland had a ton of money to spend to reach the minimum spending requirement and made sure they outbid 31 other teams.
