The Suprise Team for the 2006 Season was the New Orleans Saints. The Saints were revitalized by the Cannon Right Arm of Drew Brees, and by the running of the elusive runner Reggie Bush, whether it was returning kicks and punts or running out of the backfield. The Saints also were able to turn Seventh Round Draft Choice Marques Colston out of Hofstra into the steal of the draft. Tbe Saints are ready for an Offensive Showdown vs the Colts Tommorow Night on NBC. The Saints will win the NFC South Easily, as they have no competition. The Saints have the potential to go to the Super Bowl. These guys aren't The 'Aints anymore.
Prediction: 11-5, 1st Place.
So, how did teams like Carolina, Tampa Bay, and Atlanta going to fare this season? keep Reading.
Carolina Panthers: The Panthers were many people's pick to go to the Super Bowl last season. They didn't even make the playoffs, fizzling out at 8-8. The inconsistent play of jake Delhomme last season, for his sake, has to stop. If it doesn't, expect Carolina to bring in David Carr, who will never take enough Asprin to have relief from all of the headaches he suffers from being repeatedly thrown to the turf time after time in Houston. DeShaun and DeAngelo Williams will be a good 1-2 Punch for Carolina. Jullius Peppers will rack up the sacks. The sudden retirement of Mike Minter will hurt Carolina's Secondary. Carolina has a shot to make the playoffs, but only only if Jake Delhomme looks like the Jake of 2004 which took Carolina to the Super Bowl, not the 2007 Jake, which was almost as consistent as Rex Grossman in Chicago.
Prediction: 9-7, 2nd Place.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: The Tampa Buccaneers are reeling from the loss of Mike Alstott for at least this season. Cato June will help the Baccaneers linebacking. The loss of Simeon Rice hurts Tampa Bay defensively. Chris Simms is still trying to come back from a ruptured spleen. Cadilac Williams may for 1,000 yards this season. Jeff Garcia wass a good option option for Tampa Bay, as he is better than every other Tampa Bay Quarterback. This team won't look like the 2003 Bucs, which means Jon Gruden may be on the way out in Tampa bay.
Prediction: 7-9, 3rd Place.
ATLANTA FALCONS: The Mike Vick situation eliminates Atlanta's Season. Period. They would have finished 7-9 with him. They may not even win three games without him. Joey Harrington has not proved himself on any team he has won the Starting Quarterback job in. Joe Horn is a good veteran receiver, but his numbers will go way down. Jerious Norwood and Jamaal Anderson will be two bright spots on this team, but don't look for any more. Atlanta will finish 2-14 without Mike Vick, and Atlanta will look for another Quarterback, possiblt Brian Brohm of Louisville, so Head Coach Bobby Petrino can institute the Spread Offense, just like he had at Louisville.
Prediction: 2-14, 4th Place.
