2012 NFL Pro Bowl Voting: Where Did the Fans Get It Wrong?

Chris TrapassoDec 21, 2011

The 2012 NFL Pro Bowl fan votes have been tallied up and the top vote-getters are now available to the public. 

Not surprisingly, Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers led the way with over a 1.5 million votes with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady a close second with a 1.4 million votes. 

Here's how the top 10 shook out as well as the top individual vote-getters by position in each conference.

Not a ton of gripes, but here is where the fans went wrong. 

Do the Packers tackle, guard and center all deserve to be the highest vote-getters? 

Nothing against Chad Clifton, T.J. Lang or Scott Wells, but there are certainly offensive lineman in the NFC that are just as worthy. 

How about some of the guys protecting Drew Brees, like Jermon Bushrod or Jahri Evans? 

Don't forget Jason Peters in Philadelphia who has had a tremendous year both pass blocking and paving the way for LeSean McCoy on those jump-cut runs to the outside. 

Where's the love for Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Tamba Hali? He led the AFC in sacks last year, which should have made him somewhat of a household name and he's got 12 sacks on the year. 

The real heartbeat of that KC defense in 2011. 

Andre Carter has revitalized his career in New England this season, but I'm surprised not to see Hali as the top vote-getter among AFC defensive ends. 

Everything else looks good.
