I'm not here to rant and rave about Pennington being snubbed from the AFC Pro Bowl team. Do I think the man deserved a spot on the squad? Absolutely. But, do I understand why he was left off the roster? Of course. Pennington's numbers — 3,453 yards to go with 17 TDs and 7 picks — aren't quite as flashy as the stats Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Jay Cutler have put up through the air this season, but they are certainly solid. For the record, Manning has thrown for 3907 yards, 26 TDs and 12 picks, Favre has 3239/21/19 and Cutler has 4210/24/16 through 15 games this year. Sure, CP has more yards and 12 fewer completions to the other team than Favre, but remember, it's Brett Favre. As long as Favre is healthy and somewhat productive, the man will be in the Pro Bowl.
