"There are always a few standout NFL players who should make the Pro Bowl but aren't named to the initial AFC and NFC rosters. Of course, many of those snubs do end up getting in as replacements for injured or Super Bowl-bound players, but there are always questions when the first rosters are announced. And after the rosters for the 2026 Pro Bowl (Feb. 3, 8 p.m. ET on ESPN) were unveiled Tuesday morning, we do have a few questions."
"Why he should be in: Love is a victim of #QBWinz, but this really isn't close: He should easily be in over Darnold, despite fewer team wins. Love's 72.8 QBR ranks third in the NFL while Darnold trails way behind at 60.8 (12th). Both have been accurate passers, and Darnold is getting roughly a yard more per dropback than Love. But there's one area that swings massively toward Love -- turnovers. Love has eight on the season while Darnold has 18, two more than any other quarterback this season!"
Pro Bowl rosters for the 2026 game (Feb. 3, 8 p.m. ET on ESPN) were unveiled, and several standout players were omitted from the initial AFC and NFC rosters. The omitted players were categorized into two groups: "Absolutely should be in" and "Probably could be in." One highlighted omission is NFC quarterback Jordan Love, who posts a 72.8 QBR (third in the NFL) compared with Sam Darnold's 60.8 QBR (12th). Love has eight turnovers this season while Darnold has 18, two more than any other quarterback. Replacement players were suggested for fairness.
