Buddy, Russell has a less than 1% chance of not starting. If you think for one minute that Al Davis is gonna let 60 mil sit on the bench one more game when he is healthy you are missing the boat. Plus Garcia is at the very very end of his career where as JR is just beginning. There is zero benefit to that team to play anyone but JR. They are not a playoff team this year. Playing Garcia so that they can win an extra game or two will have absolutely no benefit. They have to play Russell because his progress is their only chance at becoming a playoff team. He won't get anywhere riding pine.
Who out of Denver, KC and San Diego scares you so bad that you'd want to be in "next year" mode before the season even starts? They have to at least try to scrap out 8 wins. Is it highly unlikely? Yes, it is, but you still have to shoot for it in what's a wide open division, especially for a team who ended 3-3 in their last 6 games last year with wins against the Texans, Broncos and Bucs.
Phillip Rivers. Well, he did well last year - but I suspect the rest of the country will notice this year. (Crosses fingers for Theodore Ginn, Jr.)
I will go with the Saints, I think they will go far this year without any injuries of course. Saintslogo
^^^Trust me the Pack will play him a lot in preseason and he is the backup to Rodgers, I must say I'm not too thrilled about rodgers as our QB, but I would like to see Flynn with more experience start for Green bay and play as the starter.It will be awhile before that happens though.:tigereye:
Well you missed McFadden and the Chiefs but Aaron Rodgers and Miles Austin are all-pro. That's pretty impressive foresight if you ask me. Well done.
