On Thursday morning, the Pro Bowl rosters were announced for the NFC and the AFC. One of the biggest eye-catchers for the AFC was quarterback. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, and Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals all made it over Patrick Mahomes.
Was it because all three of them had a better regular season than Mahomes or are NFL fans just sick and tired of him? It could be a mixture of both. Josh Allen this season has completed 63.6% of his passes for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He has also rushed for 531 yards on 102 carries and 12 touchdowns, along with averaging 5.2 yards per carry.
Lamar Jackson has completed 67.9% of his passes for 3,955 yards, 39 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also has rushed for 852 yards on 130 carries and four touchdowns, along with averaging 6.6 yards per carry,
Joe Burrow this season has completed 69.8% of his passes for 4,641 yards, 42 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Burrow is first in the NFL this season in passing yards and touchdown passes. All three of these quarterbacks had better regular seasons than Mahomes did.

Wow…Pat Mahomes shut out of Pro Bowl. No respect for his accomplishments and a 15-1 season.

Patrick Mahomes not making the Pro Bowl roster is WILD to me.

This is truly insane.
Patrick Mahomes is arguably the greatest or second greatest quarterback in history who’s lead his team to a 15-1 record IN HIS PRIME coming off TWO STRAIGHT SUPER BOWLS!
He should automatically be in as a Pro Bowler every season until he retired. https://t.co/QYRaZBaxcu

Patrick Mahomes doesn’t deserve the Pro Bowl this season, and that’s okay.

Patrick Mahomes has the best record and didn’t make the Pro Bowl.
You can tell the hate is getting to those voters, which is sad, they hate to see greatness. pic.twitter.com/6PyDg697ZK

There is nothing wrong with admitting that Burrow, Allen, and Jackson were all better this season than Mahomes. He was carried all season by his defense and they didn’t score in the 30s once this season.
