Yeah, years ago, the Pro Bowl game was very entertaining. Saying it's a joke now is giving the contest way too much credit.The game itself is a joke, but being named to it is not. It's also an indication of how good the team is. In the last couple of years, we've had 3 players picked for the Pro Bowl.
And yes, it a fairly decent barometer of how our team is progressing, and players like being named to it as not only can it trigger a clause in their contracts, it's also a feather in the cap to those with HOF aspirations.
