Earlier this week, the NFL announced that Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield and Geno Smith will be the NFC’s quarterbacks for the 2024 Pro Bowl. Fans immediately pointed out that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love got snubbed.
Love finished the 2023 season with more passing yards than Hurts, Mayfield and Smith. He also had more passing touchdowns than those three Pro Bowlers.
Not only did Love have a really nice regular season in his first year as the full-time starter for the Packers, he led them to a dominant playoff win over the Cowboys.
For all those reasons, NFL fans are furious with the NFC quarterback options for the 2024 Pro Bowl.
Explain this to me like I’m five. 🤔 Hurts and Mayfield make the #ProBowl as replacements for Purdy and Prescott, yet Jordan gets NO LOVE. #LockedOnPackers #Packers #JordanLove pic.twitter.com/ZYGXqvQGkE

“Hurts, Mayfield, and Geno getting named to the Pro Bowl over Jordan Love is not just a snub, it’s idiocy like nobody watched any games in 2023,” one fan said.

Another fan wrote, “Any one of these guys over Jordan Love proves the Pro Bowl is irrelevant.”

Love could use his Pro Bowl snub as motivation heading into the offseason.
Besides, quarterbacks for the Packers are rarely concerned about the number of Pro Bowl appearances they make. The main goal is to bring a Lombardi Trophy to Lambeau Field.
