Gannon, God get starting nod Who would be your Pro Bowl selections at quarterback? (* -- starter) Sean Salisbury AFC: Rich Gannon, Drew Bledsoe, Steve McNair NFC: Brett Favre, Michael Vick, Brad Johnson Tom Brady and Chad Pennington are difficult to ignore in the AFC. But McNair, with the material he has on that Titans squad, has quietly done a great job. In the NFC, it's tough to leave off Aaron Brooks and Jeff Garcia. The Saints and 49ers are playoff teams that rely heavily on their quarterbacks. But the Bucs' offense has been questioned all year, and Johnson, like McNair, has quietly had a great season. Merril Hoge AFC: Steve McNair, Rich Gannon, Drew Bledsoe NFC: Brett Favre, Michael Vick, Jeff Garcia McNair has been phenomenal, and he beats teams in more ways than Gannon can -- and has done it. I know Gannon has been awesome. But I'd give the start to McNair. Manning was the toughest player to leave off. Johnson would also deserve to be in the Pro Bowl, if there were four spots available. Joe Theismann AFC: Rich Gannon, Chad Pennington, Steve McNair NFC: Brett Favre, Brad Johnson, Michael Vick It's going to be a tough year for AFC Pro Bowlers. The toughest guys to leave out are Trent Green and Drew Bledsoe. Peyton Manning has struggled this year and not had the kind of season we've come to expect. He leads the AFC in interceptions, and that's the problem. Mark Schlereth AFC: Rich Gannon, Steve McNair, Chad Pennington NFC: Brad Johnson, Brett Favre, Jeff Garcia I pick Johnson as the starter because he's been the hottest quarterback, and he has no running game behind him. Favre has somewhat of a running game with Ahman Green. Garcia has a running game as well. Johnson has had to do it all, and he doesn't have receivers who can separate. He has been outstanding. Vick was tough to leave off because he's the most exciting player in football. Vick has carried his team, but he has struggled in recent weeks. Mike Golic AFC: Rich Gannon, Chad Pennington, Peyton Manning NFC: Brett Favre, Brad Johnson, Jeff Garcia Vick was the toughest player to leave off. He's so ahead of the learning curve. He's exciting. He's done a lot with his legs, and the Falcons are ahead of schedule. Even though he's thrown a few more interceptions, I still like his TD-to-interception ratio. The AFC is so deep. At least three other quarterbacks could have been picked as well. Andrea Kremer AFC: Rich Gannon, Peyton Manning, Drew Bledsoe NFC: Brett Favre, Michael Vick, Brad Johnson I had difficulty picking between Bledsoe and Steve McNair in the AFC. Bledsoe is having a Pro Bowl-caliber year individually, while McNair is having an MVP-caliber year. He's not my choice, but he has turned in that type of performance. The Pro Bowl is more about individual numbers, and Bledsoe has p
