If you accept your invitation as an alternate you are considered a Pro Bowler. Perfect example of this was Xavier Rhodes last year. Xavier Rhodes had such a bad season his own team benched him...he made the pro bowl after a ton of people backed out. In no world was Xavier Rhodes even a good starting corner in the NFL last year, but he was a Pro Bowler.

To your point there was a time it meant more, but players have been so disinterested in going for years it has killed what it actually means to be a Pro Bowler.

Making the Pro-Bowl used to mean a team paid trip to Hawaii... Now its a team paid trip to Orlando, Florida.
