Why are the Broncos getting so much love? I can't see it....they should make the playoffs, but no progress very deep. Just sayin'
The Bronco's rush the passer and have a fantastic offensive line, which are huge keys to going far in the playoffs. I don't think the Bronco's are by no means elite, but no one in the AFC is, but the Bronco's could be good enough to get to the Super Bowl, which I would not like because I thought they were a better team with Tebow.
I don't know as much about college football as I do the NFL, but I think the first pick will be Matt Barkley or Geno Smith. I do agree that there is no "Wow" college QBs. Maybe the team with the number 1 pick will trade it, since there isn't a top-notch QB.
Barkley is another in the long like of USC QB's who won't be able to cut it in the pros. Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley, all they have in common is they all went to the same school, beat up seriously inferior competition and when the time came for them to step up to the next level they couldn't cut it. As bad as the Kansas City Chefs are, they are not Podunk State.
Gino Smith is the best QB prospect as it stands right now, but that could change. Landry Jones made a huge mistake coming back for his senior year, as did Montee Ball. These kids have to realize you have to take the money and run. If pro scouts consider you a first round pick, you come out early.
The Falcons have had the easiest schedule in the entire league, and have still barely eeked out some of their wins.
The 49ers are hit or miss. We'll see if you change your tune after they play the Patriots.
If you really don't think the Patriots can compete with any of those teams, you clearly didn't watch the game in London. Granted, it was the Rams, but no team would have beaten them that day. If the Patriots turn it on, they're going to be tough to beat. As for the Bears, they BARELY beat the Panthers. Jay Cutler is still Jay Cutler. The Giants barely beat the Cowboys, literally, by a fingertip. The Packers lost to Seattle. Any team can beat any other team on any given day in the NFL.
The Falcons have not hit their stride yet and are undefeated.
The 49ers beat up people, thats dangerous come playoff time. As long as they don't need to rely on Alex Smith to win games, they are much much better than any team in the AFC.
The Bears should have lost that game last week, but wound up winning, good teams do that.
The Giants rush the passer as well as any team in the league, they proved last year that can win a championship.
The Patriots are lucky to play in the AFC but their glory days are over. Their defense is terrible and their offensive line is mediocre. They might be good enough to win the AFC title, they will need luck, but a Super Bowl, no chance.
