Pro Bowl? Not for This Miserable Bunch

There's not much magic to the Pro Bowl anymore, despite the presence of the best players from the NFC and AFC facing off against each other ... well, the best players that felt like playing an extra, meaningless exhibition after the season ended.

Still, Sunday's rosters host an impressive list of talent. But not every NFL player enjoyed the success that those in Hawaii did. For every Peyton Manning, there was a Dan Orlovsky. For every Adrian Peterson, there was a Chris Perry. So which players suffered through the most miserable 2008 seasons? Find out after the jump, as FanHouse reveals its Anti-Pro Bowl starters and backups.
