2010-2011 Super Bowl futures

Al Harris is already out with an injury. I just don't think he's as much of an asset as you do. He's a personal foul machine, always has been.

I never said Harris is an asset, I said he's the best they've got. If you think he's terrible, look at the guys behind him on the depth chart. There's nobody there. Harris is head and shoulder's better than the next guy. That's no an endorsement of Harris, but a state of fact about GB's lack of secondary depth. Personally, I never thought Harris was much better than a decent nickle in a league that lacked depth at corner. Answer me this, who can play corner opposite Woodson, if not Harris. We already saw how Trammond Williams did. It wasn't impressive.

The Cardinals have had a ridiculous difference between their passing offense at home and on the road. Opposing defenses frequently complain about the lighting scheme at U of P stadium. In '08 they sandbagged the Eagles by closing the dome at the last minute on a perfect day. Rodgers almost outgunned Warner anyway.

I already responded to this. Do you think the Saints are less formidable at home? How about Minny? Even Dallas & Atlanta can bring similar crow noise in similar circumstances. I'm not buying this magic AZ dome theory of yours.

If you want to talk about teams that don't have answers to replace their aging players, the teams at the head of that discussion should be Pit and NE, who you seem to think will find magic keys. New England looked anemic without Welker, and who knows how well he'll come back from his injury?

Who is too old on Pitt or NE? Moss is up there, but he hasn't demonstrated any injury problems. NE also has some guys like Torry Holt and Fred Taylor, but these guys aren't even starters and might not even make it through camp, so don't bring up anybody like that. Pittsburgh is similar with Hines Ward getting up there, but he hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. On defense Pitts has Farrior getting up there, but at least they've got some solid depth developed behind him if he slows down at all. So, please, tell me what key player is too old to play in the NFL on Pitts or NE. Because I think Moss and Ward are just fine and anyone else has depth behind them or are not real factor players anyway.

I am split between Colts, Saints and Packers to win the Super Bowl.

Chargers, Cowboys, Patriots and Steelers have flaws that need to be fixed.

Bump time.

I was right about Steelers being good value, but wrong about the Packers. I guess I was about 50/50.

Some interesting reading from predraft/postdraft/offseason last year.

Interesting. I chose Colts, Saints and Steelers.

The Texans seems like a better team than the Giants and Titans to make it to playoffs. The Patriots rookie defense makes me not want to bet on them.

The Chargers lost thier RB to free agent and CB to the Jets, thier team is weakened. Kinda like how the Giants lost thier two WRs who were superbowl champs, Titans lost Albert Haynesworth and defensive coordinator, obviously took a toll on thier defense. The Saints losing SS Darren Sharper could effect thier defense. If Troy Polomalu busts his leg again during most of the games, Steelers won't make it to playoffs again.

That's how I view this, lol.

I need to see if Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford can play well in the NFL. There has never been a rookie QB to win the Superbowl, so I should fade the teams that they join.

I got the Steelers right. But let's see if they can win it.

Strange how I said in my first pick: " I chose Colts, Saints and Steelers" then later on said "Colts, Saints and Packers to win the Super Bowl."

After I said Colts and Saints, I switched Steelers with Packers.
I ended up predicting the two Super Bowl teams.
