"Somehow, Shedeur Sanders actually got named to the Pro Bowl.... He started 7 games where the Browns went 3-4, averaged less than 200 yards passing per game, threw for 10 interceptions and 7 touchdowns and his QBR was a solid 18.9! I mean come on guys, what are we doing here? There is nothing you can do to justify trying to make the case for Sanders to make the Pro Bowl."
"Not only Eluemunor, but Dan Patrick, who is a well-known sports guy, said it perfectly. The only reason why the NFL did this is for the railings! What he means by that is that they know how poor this has become over the years, and guess what, they want more fans to turn it on and watch it before the Super Bowl takes place."
The Pro Bowl no longer reliably reflects true on-field excellence and has lost prestige. Selection appears influenced by popularity and television ratings rather than season performance. Shedeur Sanders received a Pro Bowl nod despite limited starts, subpar team results, low passing yards per game, a high interception total, few touchdowns, and a poor QBR. Critics, including a current NFL tackle and national sports commentators, condemned the selection and suggested the league prioritized viewer interest and controversy to boost pre-Super Bowl ratings. Injuries to other quarterbacks opened a roster spot that was filled amid public skepticism.
