The NFC's Pro Bowl roster was released on Tuesday, and now that we've had a full day to digest it's contents, it's time to take a long, hard look at some of the players who missed the cut.
Most conspicuously absent from the list is Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers emerged as a bona fide star in 2010, and has been one of the league's best quarterbacks despite running an offense decimated by injury.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis is another surprise omission. Davis had a better season than starter Tony Gonzalez, and is the better player right now. Likewise, New York Giants wideout Hakeem Nicks was one of the NFL's best wideouts, and deserved a spot on the roster.
Defensively, the biggest swing and miss was on New Orleans Saints safety Malcom Jenkins, who had a stellar season, but was overlooked in favor of Adrian Wilson, Nick Collins and Antrel Rolle.
