So let's look at how many Pro Bowlers are on each team and figure out that what the real problem is with Jacksonville specifically not getting players voted in. None of this is my opinion; I am just using NFL.com, the official website this stuff is posited on.
San Francisco 49ers: 2 (ILB Navorro Bowman and DT Joe Staley)
Cincinnati Bengals: 5 (TE Tyler Eifert, WR A.J. Green, DT Geno Atkins, FS Reggie Nelson, OT Andrew Whitworth
Buffalo Bills: 1 (LeSean McCoy)
Denver Broncos: 4 (CB Chris Harris, OLB DeMarcus Ware, OLB Von Miller, CB Aqib Talib)
Cleveland Browns: 2 (C Alex Mack and OT Joe Thomas)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2 (RB Doug Martin, DT Gerald McCoy)
Arizona Cardinals: 7 (ST Josh Bethel, DT Calais Campbell, WR Larry Fitzgerald, OG Mike Iupati, QB Carson Palmer, CB Patrick Peterson, safety Tyrann Mathieu*
Note: Tryann Mathiew tore his ACL against the Sunday night game at Philadelphia and cannot play in the Pro Bowl.
Kansas City Chiefs:5 (Safety Eric Berry, OLB Tamba Hali, OLB Justin Houston, TE Travis Kelce, CB Marcus Peters
Dallas Cowboys: 4 (K Dan Bailey, C Travis Frederick, OG Zack Martin, OT Tyron Smith
Miami Dolphins: 1 (C Mike Pouncey)
Philadelphia Eagles: 3 (DT Fletcher Cox, OT Jason Peters, PR Darren Sproles
Falcons: 2 (RB Devonta Freeman, WR Julio Jones)
New York Giants: 1 (WR Odell Beckham)
New York Jets: 3 (WR Brandon Marshall, CB Darrelle Revis, DE Muhammed Wilkerson)
Detroit Lions: 2 (DE Ezekiel Ansah, WR Calvin Johnson)
Green Bay Packers: 3 (QB Aaron Rodgers, ILB Clay Matthews, LG Josh Sitton)
Baltimore Ravens: 2 (P Sam Koch, OG Marshal Yanda)
Washington Redskins: 1 (OT Trent Williams)
Oakland Raiders: 3 (DE Khali Mack, FB Marcel Reece, safety Charles Woodson
St. Louis Rams: 3 (RB Todd Gurley, DT Aaron Donald, P Johnny Hecker)
Minnesota Vikings: 1 (Adrian Peterson)
Houston Texans: 2 (WR DeAndre Hopkins, DE J.J. Watt)
Pittsburgh Steelers: 3 (WR Antonio Brown, QB Ben Roethsliberger, OG David DeCastro
As you can see here, better known players will get tons of national attention without winning a lot of games. This is not a complete list, but give you an idea.

I would have to see a complete list to make any sense of all this

Pro Bowl voting is mostly just a popularity contest.
http://probowl.fantasy.nfl.com
We have 7 players on the list. To be fair, I don't think Kam deserves to be selected this year, but I didn't watch other teams enough to say, who should be there instead of him (Reshad Jones is mentioned in this article about Pro Bowl snubs http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...ster-snubs). I also think K.J. Wright and Cliff Avril are having better season than Bobby Wagner and Michael Bennett, but were left off. Doug Baldwin is also playing great over the last month, but it was probably a bit too late for him to get enough votes over some established WR superstars. It's nice to see Tyler Lockett getting some love, though. But hopefully none of our players will play in Pro Bowl.

Joe Staley's an OT, not DT.

The font made it difficult to tell the difference between D and O.
