The updated list of AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks looks a lot different than the original group that was voted in.

Instead of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, the conference will be represented in Las Vegas this weekend by Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Huntley and Derek Carr. 

There isn't actually a full-contact Pro Bowl anymore, these three signal callers will participate in the skills challenges and 7-on-7 flag football competition at Allegiant Stadium. 

While Lawrence is a pretty worthy replacement, the inclusion of Huntley, who barely played this year, and Carr, who was benched, has some fans shaking their heads.

"NFL is becoming more and more like the WWE," said former NFL wide receiver Jaelen Strong.

"Imagine if you told people these would be the 3 QB’s representing the AFC in the beginning of the season," said a Jaguars fan.

"I haven’t fact checked this but surely Tyler Huntley is the first Pro Bowl QB of all time to throw for less than 3 touchdowns in that year," said YouTuber Big Game Bengal.

"Pro Bowl is beyond a joke now. There is no alternate timeline where Huntley and Carr would ever be selected," another fan chimed in.

We couldn't agree more. 

The Pro Bowl festivities get underway on Thursday night, with the 7-on-7 flag football game set for Sunday afternoon.
