It's not like the Pro Bowl vote matters much. It's not even the Pro Bowl anymore, it's the 'Pro Bowl Games' because the football game itself has been replaced. And fan votes aren't the best measure of anything.
ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 17: Tua Tagovailoa #1 of the Miami Dolphins signals at the line of scrimmage against the Buffalo Bills during the fourth quarter at Highmark Stadium on December 17, 2022 in Orchard Park, New York. It's not like the Pro Bowl vote matters much. It's not even the Pro Bowl anymore, it's the
because the football game itself has been replaced. And fan votes aren't the best measure of anything.The NFL announced Tagovailoa got 306,861 Pro Bowl votes from the fans, which was the most of any player and easily the most among quarterbacks. Tagovailoa's Miami Dolphins teammate Tyreek Hill was second with 293,679 votes, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was third with 271,541 votes. The top NFC quarterback was Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles with 215,634.
Tagovailoa topping the fan vote says a few things. First and foremost, Dolphins fans did a good job voting. Also, Tagovailoa's story has apparently resonated with fans. Tagovailoa was criticized often through his first two seasons, written off by many as a draft bust. That proved to be premature. The Dolphins built a good offense around Tagovailoa, most notably trading for Hill, and he has had an excellent season. In 12 games he has 3,238 yards, 24 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Tagovailoa is having a good season but the consensus is that Hurts, Mahomes and Josh Allen have been better than him, and perhaps Joe Burrow as well. There's nothing wrong with having a top-five season at quarterback, it just makes those 306,861 votes a bit surprising. It would be a pretty big deal for Tagovailoa to make the Pro Bowl, in many ways. Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald pointed out that the salary on Tagovailoa's fifth-year option, which the Dolphins will clearly pick up barring something unforeseen, jumps from a projectedBeing the top Pro Bowl vote-getter among fans is a nice honor. It says something about his popularity, particularly among Dolphins fans. He has come a long way in a year.
