Remove Joe Flacco from "best player to never make a Pro Bowl" contention. Congrats to him.
The only Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks to never make the Pro Bowl:
* Jim Plunkett
* Doug Williams
If you're wondering, these SB-winning QBs did make the Pro Bowl:
* Jeff Hostetler, 1994 Raiders (post-ring)
* Trent Dilfer, 1997 Buccaneers (pre-ring)
* Nick Foles, 2013 Eagles (pre-ring)
Sam Darnold and Drake Maye have made the PB each of the past two seasons.
Flacco makes his first Pro Bowl!

Re: Flacco makes his first Pro Bowl!
it's a odd story, after the first alternate got hurt...they coul not get anyone to go, kept going down the list, no one woul accept, Kilmer, Gabrei, James Harris was hurt... so it finally came to Boryla. There was one report of Archie Manning plaing who was healthy after mising entire season. Game was in NO so he was local but suppose they thought better ... go with someone who actually played

Re: Flacco makes his first Pro Bowl!
O Lord, don't even think it, Matt.
Somewhere there's a Baltimore Ravens Flacco Fan who is scouring the internet to back up that claim... don't give him any ammunition!
Off the top of my head I can't think of any players who started for more than one team in their Pro Bowl season... there must be someone though, right?
I mean, if there was still an actual Pro Bowl game what helmet would Flacco wear??
One half Bengals and one half Browns?

Re: Flacco makes his first Pro Bowl!
I still believe Flacco has HOVG credentials
Championship and MVP of SB
Has started two other AFC Championship games in 2008/9 as a rookie and 2011/12 where his GW TD pass was dropped.
Counting postseason his starting record is 117 - 100 but had a good winning pct with the Ravens. Only 13 - 36 since.
Like Russell Wilson, he never recovered from a starting stint with the Broncos. Both QBs only went to the postseason once since leaving that team.
