In my business, sports talk radio, I am paid to have opinions.
They might not all be good opinions, but I've got to have them. I can't just say: "Well, let's just wait and see how this all works out."
With that in mind, here's a quick opinion on every NFC team as training camps have opened across the land. I've even conveniently sorted them by division (and I'm not paid to do that):
NFC North
Green Bay Packers: I actually think the Pack can challenge for the division title this year. Greg Jennings needs to stay healthy and give Favre that opposite threat to Donald Driver. Can Justin Harrell make an impact on defense? Ted Thompson better hope so, since that pick was his baby. Are you ready for the Vernand Morency era at tailback? Woo hoo.
Chicago Bears: A team that could to take a step back after last year's Super Bowl run. I see more horrific outings from Rex Grossman. I see Cedric Benson failing to run as productively week after week as Thomas Jones. I see a big fat bulls-eye on their backs.
Minnesota Vikings: Tavaris Jackson? Brooks Bollinger? Drew Henson? God, could they have a more scuffling crew of QB's in ya-hay-der Minne-SOTA? Let's just say the Vikes at least have the right expectations this year: None.
Detroit Lions: Go ahead, proclaim the Lions your "sleeper" team. I dare you. It's an annual rite of summer. NFL people look at the Lions on paper, and start thinking: "Hey, this might actually be a good team." Wrong. It's the Lions; the most consistent losers in the NFL.
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys: This should be their division this year. Everybody wants to know if Romo was a fluky flash or the real deal. I'm thinking real. Watch T.O. have a monster year with a healthy wrist and fat man Tuna off his back.
Philadelphia Eagles: It's insane to think that Donovan McNabb has to fight off some nobody named Kevin Kolb. It's more insane to think that as soon as McNabb has a bad game, Philly fans will start chanting Kolb's name. (Can you actually "chant" that one?)
Washington Redskins: Expectations have been properly deflated this year coming off a 5-11 flop in 2006. Problem is, they'll likely meet those meager expectations. Todd Wade as a converted LG? Dicey. Santana Moss staying healthy all year? Dicey. Jason Campbell not having a mini-second year slump? Dicey.
New York Giants: How come so many people seem to think that Brandon Jacobs can be an every-down tailback? A feature runner that big and tall hasn't been seen since Christian Okoye, and even he was more of a gimmick than anything. Eli, show us something.
