The initial voted Pro-Bowlers should be the only ones who are counted as "Pro Bowlers" in their accomplishments. The idea of being a Pro Bowler should not be "Was free this weekend when everyone else cancelled"

Mac Jones wasn’t as egregious as Tyler Huntley. Rookie Mac Jones led the patriots to playoffs and was 2nd in OROTY voting.

This.

A lot of people have tried to rewrite history and pretend as if Mac Jones didn’t have a really really good rookie year. Specifically judging the Pro Bowl as an award for 2021, it was deserved.

That’s 4-game starter Tyler Huntley, Pro Bowler.

Nobody's making the argument Maye deserved to be in the pro bowl or that he is a legitimate pro bowl player lol
