QB'S

1.New Orleans(Brees)

2.Carolina(Cam)

3.Atlanta(Ryan)

4.Tampa(Freeman)

HB'S

1.Carolina(Stewart, Williams, Tolbert)

2.New Orleans(Sproles,Pierre Thomas, and Ingram)

3.Tampa (Leblount and Doug Martin)

4.Atlanta (Turner and Jacquizz Rodgers)

W.R'S.

1.Atlanata(Roddy White, Julio Jones, Henry Douglas, Eric Weems)

2.Tampa(V-JAX,Mike Williams, Preston Parker,Benn,and Briscoe)

3.New Orleans(Colston, Devery Henderson,and Lance Moore)

4.Carolina(Smith,Lafell,Gettis,Pilares, Adams, and Armanti)

T.E

1.New Orleans(Jimmy Graham)

2Atlanta(Tony Gonzales)

3.Carolina(Greg Olsen)

4.Tampa(Dallas Clark)

*2 and 3 could flip flop this year and for our sake I hope they do

O-line(Listed form left to right)

1.Carolina(Gross, Amini, Kalil,Hangman,Otah/Bell)

2.Tampa Bay(Penn,Nicks,Zuttah,Davin Joseph,Jeremy Youngblood)

3.New Orleans(Jermon Bushrod,Grubbs,,Brian Folkerts,Jahri Evans,Jamal Brown)

4. Atlanta (Sam Baker,Blalock/Manuai/Mcclure/Peter Konz/Tyson Clabo)

Hardest postion groups to try to predict at this point are W.R., Offensive Line.

W.R. was very tough because ATL does not have much depth behind White and Jones

Tampa's looks fierce now if Mike WIlliams can play as well as he did last year and the addition of V-

Jax. Plus Parker quietly did well for them last year too.

Outside of Smith what he have is largely uknown. Lafell is looking promising and then what do we have??

O-line is tough because I don't pay a ton of attention to other teams lines but I felt safe listing Atlana's last. New Orleans center and only one I saw listed on their website may kill them, and I believe Gross is the best LT in the division and same for Kalil at Center.

I think when you factor in Chris Ivory as well, NO might have a better stable of RBs than us, mostly because of Sproles.

I call BS!! We have the best stable in the NFL....Hands down! I've heard an argument for Houston, but come on...Tolbert added to the mix? We'll be able to eat the hell out of the clock late in games. Keep Pounding!!

Not even. Homerism aside, I've got to hand it to SF. Frank Gore, Brandon Jacobs, Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James?! Then I'd put NO at 2 with Sproles, Thomas, Ivory and Ingram and then us at 3 with Williams, Stewart and Tolbert.

This is just RBs mind you. If you're talking about overall rushing attack including our QB, :cam:, then I'd say we're #1.

I would rather our situation or Houston over San Fran. Gore is amazing, and Hunter compliments him well, but Brandon Jacobs has been a dog baby as of late. I would take Williams/Stewart or Foster/Tate over Gore/Hunter because I don't think Hunter could be a feature back if Gore went down.

I'm trying to put homerism to the side...but the way I look at it...D-Lo > Hunter, Tolbert > Jacobs, and I compare Gore and Stewart to one another giving the edge to Gore right now, but Stewart is younger and I don't even think we've seen the best of him yet. Gore is getting old. I think you may just be looking at fantasy stats here. I say comparing our 3 to their 3 (L. James aside)...I'd rather have our stable. Not to mention, you think we'll see all 3 of those SF backs on the field at the same time? Maybe they should, but our 3 backs on the field = dangerous!

As far as the NO argument...BS...maybe deeper? But not more talent.

Okay so maybe there is some homerism in my statement, but I can't help it damnit! I still believe we've got the strongest stable of backs!

See the weakest part of your argument is "LaMichael James aside". Maybe I'm biased as a PAC 12 fan, but I think that kid is going to be great. Plus he, like Sproles, is a legit Scat Back which we don't have unless we put Joe Adams in the backfield or use Smitty on the end-around.

Ingram is unproven and he has shown nothing except he's injury prone.

How many NFL records does the Saints* RB stable hold?

Homerism has the opposite of the stated affect on Panther fans opinions of our backfield. People don't want the label so they underestimate, when statistically our RBs rank with the greatest hall of famers of all time.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
