Good point with a good example.

Yes, but this happens in all sports all-star voting where vote is before midseason.

I guess you could have vote after season and game during next preason, just as an idea.

No real surprise. It's a popularity/reputation contest. As a result, most players don't make it the first year they should and it is their second or third year that they are rewarded. Conversely, most players continue to make it a couple years after they shouldn't. If these guys are the real deal, they'll be on the team in the next couple of years and these snubs will hopefully be made up for by them being voted to pro bowl teams 10 years from now when they have no business being on them.
