If Rivers Pulls Out..

If it's true that Phillip Rivers aggravated a foot injury in the Chargers' loss to the Patriots and will thus be forced to pull out of the Pro Bowl, sources tell H-Town Sports that David Carr will NOT be chosen as an injury replacement, despite his "statistical progress". It's unfortunate for Carr supporters that #8 will NOT be getting the Maui nod, as much has been made of how good Carr could be with a great offensive line, great running backs, great receiving corps and great coaching, elements that a Pro Bowl team would seem to incorporate quite nicely.

In a related story, who will replace Rivers as the third AFC QB? Tom Brady would seem to be the favorite, but wouldn't it be sweet to see VY get the call? I would certainly be much more likely to watch the Pro Bowl (for the first time in my life) if Vince was participating.
