The Pro Bowl rosters are out, and everyone is trying to make sense of them. As always, the quarterback position is under the most scrutiny. Both the rosters boast elite quarterbacks, but there is one notable absentee, the Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa was the fan favorite but could not make the cut after the overall voting.
Those who have made the cut ahead of Tagovailoa include Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen. The AFC seems to be a QB paradise right now, but the NFL world is not happy.

Tua Tagovailoa has come a long way this season. After suffering a serious concussion early on, Tagovailoa has emerged as one of the best under the center in the entire league. The young QB became a fan favorite and got the most fan votes for a Pro Bowl nod. But somehow he didn’t make the cut.
Pro Bowl QBs:
• Jalen Hurts
• Kirk Cousins
• Geno Smith• Joe Burrow
• Patrick Mahomes
• Josh Allen— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 22, 2022
The NFL world does not seem to be happy with the decision and wanted Tagovailoa on the roster. And they are making it really clear. This fan is of the opinion that the Dolphins QB has been better than Joe Burrow, one of the QBs who got the nod ahead of him.
Joe Freaking Burrow over Tua… not discrediting Burrow but Tua has been way better and was number one in voting

A fan is surprised at Tagovailoa’s exclusion.
Wasn’t Tua 1st in overall voting?

Another fan wants to know if the voting matters in this case or not.
Wait, didn’t Tua get the most votes? Does that just not matter?

This fan feels really strongly about the issue.
Burrow over Tua? Blasphemy
— Jon (@jonnngonzo) December 22, 2022
A fan straight up says Tagovailoa got robbed of a position on the Pro Bowl.
Tua got robbed

But this fan has made sense of all of it.
Oh ok that makes sense of why Tua didnt make it now, i have all 3 of these guys ahead of him so all good i guess.

All sentiments aside, the AFC quarterback position has a lot of takers. The QB scene in AFC is amazing. Almost every quarterback there is at the Pro Bowl level. And nobody can argue that Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen didn’t deserve the honor. And Joe Burrow is on a roll too. Maybe Tagovailoa will win a Super Bowl ring this year and give the fans and league a glimpse of his greatness to cap off a roller-coaster season.

Tua Tagovailoa has had a season of unexpected ups and gut-wrenching lows. He suffered a serious, almost season-ending, concussion against Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals in week four this season. But since he has come back from that, the Dolphins QB has put himself up there in the MVP conversation.

The Dolphins are 8-6 overall and second in the AFC East after week 15. And Tagovailoa would like a Super Bowl ring this season more than wanting to feature in the Pro Bowl. He is on track for that, but can he make it?
