Pro Bowl Snub

I'm late to the party on this and don't usually complain about Pro Bowl snubs, but this one doesn't make sense.

Player A
Yds Tds Ints QB Rating
3052 21 17 86.5

Player B
Yds Tds Ints QB Rating
3515 28 11 101.4

So which player do you pick? It is pretty easy to see that Player B is having the better season. Player B, entering into this week, is actually leading the league in QB rating and is tied with the lead in touchdowns. This is a slam dunk right?

Player A is Brett Favre and is headed to the Pro Bowl. Player B is Phillip Rivers and will be staying home. The NFL really needs to rename the Pro Bowl the Popularity Bowl or just make it a yearly tribute to Brett Favre and stop pretending it is a legit reward for players have great seasons.

Also, Vic Carucci is an idiot even if he agrees with me that Rivers is a Pro Bowl snub. Vic thinks LT is a snub because his numbers are 'far from awful'. There are 13 running backs that have more rushing yards than LT. LT is also averaging 3.6 yards per carry. No those aren't awful numbers, but in order to go to the Pro Bowl you should have numbers that are a bit better than 'far from awful'.
