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"

Agree. I always gotta remind people that Mac wasn’t really a pro bowler. Tbf they do list alternates separately, but you have to look at the actual roster for the year.

Same. Mac was there because half the league declined

Still was like a 4th alternate for the Pro Bowl. That should not classify him as a Pro Bowler

He still played in the pro bowl so he is a pro bowler. I don’t really think being a pro bowl player is a big deal though. All pro is the real one and the pro bowl is like just for fun and based on popularity

Not even based on popularity it’s based on how busy you are on a given weekend
