According to the Pro Bowl, Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner are the two best NFL quarterbacks of 2008.

According to me, nonsense.

Warner has the best receivers in the league and throws in the worst division in football. Manning was steady, but hardly spectacular.

My rankings, which take into account quarterback rating, team record, TD-to-Int differential and which way the wind's blowing, culminate today. And my winner - surprise - ain't even headed to Hawaii.
