All Pro is the standard and should be worth significantly more than a Pro Bowl selection. Like I would think more of Rivers chances with zero Pro Bowls and one first team All Pro selection.

Trubisky has been voted to one pro Bowl as an injury replacement, Rivers has been to 8.
Maybe you shouldn't look at it as a reason so much as correlation. Great players get voted to multiple Pro bowls, I don't see how to argue that. Fans, players and coaches do know something about the sport.
