Cool that he was invited. Had he been able to go and play, it would have just added to the offseason QB intrigue.

Notice he was invited ahead of Brock Osweiler...

That's the QB they are down too? Pro Bowl selections at some positions are like bowl game invites. Just finish .500. Just be an average QB.

Just fine. It's OK to point out he was probably the 10th or 11th option. Life goes on.

Siemian such a boss he declines pro bowl invites
A better man.
Funny how folks keep insisting Flacco and "possibly" Eli are elite, but Siemians production his FIRST SEASON was right in between those veteran, franchise, SB-winning QBs and he's a bum. People are drooling over rumors of a trade for Rivers, and he only did SLIGHTLY better (more TDs, but more Ints, and a completion percentage <1% better.) I'm not saying Siemian's the greatest thing since Sammy Baugh, just that he's not half as bad as his critics claim. Put it this way:
Siemian had MORE TDs and LESS Ints than Wentz, yet the rookie 1st rounder's supposedly the Real Deal and the sophomore 7th rounder with OUR line's a loser?

A better man.
I don't GET this fan base.
Former QBs and RBs coach Kubiak transforms a sophomore 7th rounder making his FIRST CAREER START into a Pro Bowl alternate? "Siemian SUCKS!"
Former QBs and RBs coach Kubiak fails to fix a offensive line mess Barone and Elway spent four years making before he GOT here? "Kubiak SUCKS!"
I was wrong when I said if the fan base would melt down if we didn't win a SB before Manning retired: We DID, but IT MELTED DOWN ANYWAY!

They were running out of players. One time David Garrad was the 10th QB option for the Pro Bowl. You can't just ignore the blistering context and count it as a win.
Kubiak, the offensive guru, has a bad line in the first year, gets a LT Pro Bowler (since that means so much) and a new guard and they get worse. Not exactly a great indictment of coaching ability from the guru.
The fanbase hasn't melted down just because it doesn't worship at the Kubiak shrine.

Alfred Williams was talking about how the Pro Bowl has become such a total joke. Players get paid only for regular season games for the most part. If you're earning $500,000 per game ($8 M per season), then the $30k or $50k for playing in the Pro-Bowl is nothing. All it is is a chance of injury that could ruin your career, and they're not even paying you serious money for it.
Back in the day, that $30k was a significant amount to the players, so it was a big honor to be in the pro-bowl.
Today, not so much. :
So, Siemian was the 10th choice for a 3rd string AFC QB! Out of 16 teams. I wonder who they will tap to replace him? Perhaps Connor Cook, who played so well for the Raiders in their playoff game against the Texans?"The three quarterbacks selected for the Pro Bowl in the AFC were Tom Brady, Derek Carr and Ben Roethlisberger, but none of them are going to be in Orlando.
"Brady’s going to the Super Bowl, Carr is recovering from a fractured fibula and Roethlisberger has opted out of the game. Andy Dalton and Alex Smith are in as replacements, but a third is getting hard to find. Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill were injured to end the year and Colts quarterback Andrew Luck just had shoulder surgery.
"Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor turned down an invite after groin surgery and Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian has done the same after a shoulder operation of his own.
The other regular starting AFC quarterbacks that haven’t been mentioned are Philip Rivers, Joe Flacco, Blake Bortles, Brock Osweiler, Ryan Fitzpatrick and whichever Browns quarterback you’d like to include. Rivers and Flacco had the best years of that group, but the label Pro Bowl quarterback is getting stretched pretty far in the AFC.

And Phillip Rivers.

Which guy would any coach in the NFL rather have: Trevor Siemian or Philip Rivers? Just to ask the question is to know the answer.
