It's July, and you know what that means: NFL training camp. It's time for the World Cup passion to subside, and the NFL to once again take over the interests of stateside sports fans. So tell me: What are your predictions for the upcoming season, and who are your ultimate sleepers and busts? What is your favorite training camp headline? And, in light of the LeBron situation that has finally ended, who do you think is being the biggest drama queen (i.e. Albert Haynesworth, Brett Favre), or is being screwed by his franchise (i.e. Vincent Jackson, Tom brady)?

Yeah I am considering the jets in my top 4... or the giants. The eagles are good, but I've looked at the statistics, and almost everything I've seen says they're gonna suck.

My top four, since I guess we're comparing now: 1. Indianapolis Colts 2. San Diego Chargers 3. New Orleans Saints 4. Minnesota Vikings.

Sanchez did not impress me last year. He missed many easy oppurtunities, and at times, he could not find the open receiver, probably because his field vision is not fully developed yet.

Well, some quarterbacks, just focus on the 'good' receiver or just a receiver they're just focusing on. And just don't look anywhere else. He hasn't really gotten used to looking to all receivers, as I can tell. I know he can do it. But he hasn't. He will eventually. He has just been in the NFL for 2 years. So, I'd be easy on for now.

So I agree. Sanchez can't be called an experienced quarterback. Just a not bad quarterback.
But that didn't surprise me, because Sanchez never impressed me when he was at USC either, and I always thought he was a bit of an overrated quarterback at the college level who should have stayed another year in school.

That didn't surprise me as well. But again, he still needs a bit of more time.

Wow, haven't been on for a while, and this thread was all the way back on Page 6. Well, for you fantasy football players, I'm posting my Fantasy Football Guide on 201's website soon, so I want you guys to check it out. Anyway, who do you guys pick as your early season MVP? Rookie of the Year?

Bump?

I fucking hate Revis now. He's being such a baby. He's following the lines of his uncle, who sat out an entire season because of the fact that he wasn't given the money he wanted.

Sanchez is a responsible quarterback, because he knows he's not good and he's handling the pressure very well. The Jets also signed Mark Brunell, who is going to tutor him. I'm really excited. And at least Sanchez didn't do horribly all 15 games he started. He showed flashes of brilliance at certain points. So take THAT! Also Chargers fans. Two words: Ryan Leaf lol.

But anyway, Frylock, I think that the biggest bust of the season is going to be Kevin Kolb. I hope that kid gets sacked so many times he's going to have to retire early. Rookie of the Year is probably going to go to be either Bradford or Jahvid Best on Offense and Gerald McCoy on Defense, maybe Suh. MVP will be Peyton Manning, because the MVP voters are so biased. Last year, Brees was ahead of Manning on almost every offensive category, and threw less interceptions than him.
