The rosters for this seasons Pro bowl were announced last week. Two Arizona Cardinals were voted starters on this year's team, Budda Baker and Chandler Jones.
In a somewhat surprise rookie quarterback Kyler Murray was named an alternate. Which means if a QB drops out Murray will play in the Pro bowl in his first season in the NFL. But is Murray worthy of being in the Pro Bowl?
My answer is no. Murray has had a good rookie season, but in my opinion not good enough to be in the Pro Bowl. Murray is not a top tier QB yet. He may become one later on in his career but as for this season he has not earned Pro Bowl honors.
Murray has been sacked 47 times this season and more than half of those sacks were his fault. He has a QB rating of 87.9, which is good, but not Pro Bowl good. when Murray was drafted we all expected to see this "Air Raid" attack, but it has been the ground game that has kept the offense fun to watch. A big reason for the ground game is Kenyon Drake, not Murray.
Russell Wilson, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are the QB's that were selected to this year's Pro Bowl. All three will be in the playoffs and at least one will skip the Pro Bowl because they have been there before or one may be playing in the Super Bowl.
Kyler Murray will most likely end up playing in the Pro bowl and that is a good thing for him and the Cardinals future. I think the honor could have gone to someone more deserving. What do you think?
