It’s a good thing that we’re no longer going to see a full-pad, semi-real football game in the Pro Bowl because the AFC’s quarterbacks are going to look awfully sad.
Shortly after Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley was named to the AFC squad, the Raiders’ Derek Carr was added to the roster.
In addition to Carr being nowhere close to a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback this season, he’s going to be representing the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium despite already delivering his emotional goodbye letter to Raiders fans. That’s going to be an awkward situation — even if we’re really just talking about a flag football game and other Pro Bowl events.

But really, what’s even the point of this game? It was also hilarious seeing that tweet come from the Raiders’ Twitter account once you consider that the team is essentially done with Carr.
Way to read the room.
Fans understandably had plenty of jokes once Carr’s inclusion on the roster was announced from the Raiders’ Twitter account.
