Will the NFC South be the strongest in the NFL this year?

[Jeremy Igo]

Looking at the division and honestly any one of them could make the playoffs. I don't think I can say that about any other division in the NFL. 

 

Am I wrong? Is the NFC South the strongest in the NFL?

[amcoolio]

Carolina, Tampa, Atlanta all have a chance to win division, all 4 teams could be worst in division

I think the Bears are decent and the NFC North is just as strong

[Nails]

The Saints and Bucs have way too many holes and question marks to be a serious threat at actually winning the division, but the "Any Given Sunday" thing applies when playing there.  

The other two are the last two NFC champs.  The Panthers are the most talented team in football right now.

The answer is yes.

[TNPanther]

I think you could make a strong case for the NFC East or AFC West as well.

[Harbingers]

However the NFC South plays NFC North and AFC East. 

In terms of pure talent as a division, they are right around the top.

I think so. I think a case could be made for any of the 4 to win the division. 

It'll definitely be a fun year for division games.

Hell yes this is definitely going to be the most balanced conference. 

All of the teams have a franchise QB, legit Run game &  Weapon in the passing game.

Panthers , ATL & Bucs have quality defense that should improve with new draft picks . 

Bold prediction all of the teams in south will be  .500 or better

It always amazes me to hear people talk about the defenses in the South, while leaving NO off, like it's markedly worse than the rest. ATL, CAR, and NO all had defenses ranked 21st or below in yards and points. The difference in Carolina and NO was 16 yards and 3 points.

Difference is Panthers defense had a down year otherwise it's usually top 15 .

The difference in talent between Carolina and NO was a country mile.

NFC East is overrated, AFC west should be formidable.

We got killed due to secondary otherwise run defense and QB pressure/sacks was at top of food chain.

Yet, statistics say they didn't perform much better on the field.

Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.
