On Pro Bowl v All Pro
All Pro is a much higher honor because there is only one "first team" selected out of the entire NFL while the Pro Bowl could cover 80 to 90 players.
However it is a cop out to claim the Pro Bowl is just a "popularity contest". Both All Pro and Pro Bowl are selected by votes so both are popularity contests. And two-thirds of from Pro Bowl votes are from NFL players and coaches. So being selected to the Pro Bowl is still an honor.
I see a lot of people here try to claim the Pro Bowl is "meaningless", but that is just not true. It is still an honor to be selected and I don't see any real bad players getting selected.
