That kid is amazing, and I mean it. Every time he gets the ball he just amazes me. He will prove to be a huge steal for Carolina at #27 when he deserved to be a top 10 pick. New England is going to be shooting themselves in the foot at the end of this year.jgl35 said:DeAnglo Williams, Carolina. Just might run them into a super Bowl.
I will just piggyback on Mork, but let me hasten to add that I believe our new coaches will make the single most important difference. Adding Mario to our roster and inheriting last year's coaches ... that might be a 1-2W differential, tops. Similarly, if NO improves substantially, the Bush bandwagon will be quick to proclaim it as solely Reggie's divine work, but I would imagine their coaching is going to be a big part of any substantial improvement as well.MorKnolle said:Mario Williams.
I don't see Vince or Leinart playing much or contributing to new success of their team this season. I don't think Bush will add much to the Saints, I think improving their defense would have done a lot more for them than adding a RB when they already had McAllister and Bennett. I think Mario will bring so much to our defense, he gives us a physical freak of nature and a dominating player that can effectively play numerous positions on the defensive front 7 and will enable us to throw many different looks at opposing offenses. I think DeAngelo Williams will be very effective for the Panthers, I think A.J. Hawk will have a big year for the Packers, and outside of that I'm not sure who else will be overly impressive. I think Vernon Davis could have a great year but as Alex Smith's only real target I think defenses will key on him and I'm not sure he has honed his skills well enough yet anyways to overcome that and be a great TE.
I agree on you statement about Leinart. Looking another year down the road to the 2007 season, I think Leinart will have a huge year for the Cardinals. I'm not sure if he will be the main reason that their offense will be great (I think most QBs could find success with Edge, Boldin, Fitzgerald, and Bryant Johnson), but statistically I think he will easily be the #1 among the picks in this draft by 2007. Vince Young might not be ready to play real effectively by then, but I'm sure they'll force him in the lineup, which may drive Jeff Fisher and Norm Chow out of town (I heard a rumor about them going to Arizona to replace Dennis Green at the end of this year, just speculation but at least Fisher's contract is up this year and if they can't turn it around significantly I'm not sure Fisher will want to be back or the Titans will want him back, and reuniting Norm Chow with Leinart in an offense with 3 Pro Bowlers would likely be very effective). I also don't think Vince has a good enough offense around him yet to be overly effective. Bush will put up nice numbers but even if his durability does not end up being a concern, he will still be splitting time with Deuce McAllister so that will limit his productivity, whereas DeAngelo Williams should be the man in Carolina and Maroney could be the man in New England by then (I would have loved to pick up either of them in the draft and it looks like we wanted DeAngelo at #25 but the Bills screwed that up for us, oh well, what could have been Williams & Williams in the 1st round). Vernon Davis I'm not expecting a huge year out of this year, but by next year I think he will likely be putting up Shockey/Gates/Gonzalez-type numbers. Hawk will be a consistent box score filler throughout his career, and while Mario's stats may not jump out as much I still think he'll be a more valuable piece of our defense than Hawk ever will in GB. Great DEs are just that rare and that special.jerek said:I will just piggyback on Mork, but let me hasten to add that I believe our new coaches will make the single most important difference.

As far as next year, assuming most of the variables remain the same, I would say that a second-year Leinart is going to be absolutely huge for the Cards. Give VY another year or two and Chow to get his new O straight, and that might be a powerful difference out in TN. But as for this year ... MW and the revamped Texans all the way.
I think you may be right on the Panthers in the Super Bowl. But that's a one game improvement, right?jgl35 said:DeAnglo Williams, Carolina. Just might run them into a super Bowl.
But don't the Saints already have people who can do this?? he can only make them marginally better, if at all.TexanFan80 said:are u kiddin me no rookie quarterback improves a team
its gotta be Bush because he has so many options he can kick return punt return catch the ball block run
I am going Bush.thunderkyss said:But don't the Saints already have people who can do this?? he can only make them marginally better, if at all.
No love or even a mention for AJ Hawk?Scooter said:i think it's deffinately between mario & deangelo. both are arguably the best at their positions in the draft, and went to teams hurting specifically for those positions. hawk might have great stats, but another linebacker in green bay isnt going to change their W/L total. the biggest story on bush this year will be his hamstring. vernon davis i dont see doing much his first season especially with that offense. oakland's in bad shape all over, huff's going to be on an island. leinhart, cutler, & young wont play. d'brick's got noone to block for and will need a year to adjust.
a couple other guys who could make an immediate difference would be lawson (49ers), carpenter (cowboys), & santonio holmes (steelers).
Great point Wolf, had not considered that.Wolf said:now with Bush.. It will be interesting being he plays against the Bucs and the Panthers twice a year.. good ole defense versus Bush.
