Are you ready? Quarterback quality helps put superior AFC in a league of its own this year

The Bears and Saints, who met in the NFC title game last season, are the de facto favorites in the NFC.

Everyone else is even more questionable.

The Giants and Redskins don't look like challengers unless Eli Manning begins to play like his brother.

The South? Vick's absence and the trauma caused by his case means the Falcons go nowhere under first-year coach Bobby Petrino, who didn't deserve this. Carolina's John Fox, like the Giants' Tom Coughlin, needs to win now, but probably won't. Same for Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden, who is depending on 37-year-old QB Jeff Garcia.

Back to the beginning.

The last NFC team to win the Super Bowl was Tampa Bay after the 2002 season, Gruden's first. He was playing with Dungy's players and Dungy is now in the AFC.

Looks like the same theme: AFC all over the NFC.
