Some of the weakest predictions I have ever scene.
Im suprised Romo wasnt on the list :lol
Seriously, Wimbley, Cutler, Holmes, Jenkins, Whitner, Schaub, Berrian, those are some easy ass predictions. Only like 3 guys on that list are guys that arent already known factors

Damn I hope he is. It's bad enough missing Denver vs. San Diego because we have to watch the fucking Texans play Oakland in a 15-11 thriller.

i really don't see any of these guys being stars in this league. IMO, Schaub is the next Jake Delhomme, which will be pretty good for Houston, but he's never going to be a star. Same with Cutler.

Schaub's future depends on that offensive line

Cutler is going to be a beast, remember who said it first! Also he left off Vernon Davis on that list.

i really don't see any of these guys being stars in this league. You haven't watched enough Vincent Jackson.

You haven't watched enough Vincent Jackson.
I saw him drop passes against New England like he had butter all over his hands....or was that the other anonymous shitty San Diego receiver?

but maybe he can. I just didn't see it in the 3 or 4 Chargers games I watched last year, which is admittedly not enough to judge his entire future.

I just didn't see it in the 3 or 4 Chargers games I watched last year, which is admittedly not enough to judge his entire future.That was most likely Eric Parker or Keenan McCardell. Vincent Jackson really stepped it up at the end of the year when he got more playing time. This year he'll be the true #1 and I guarantee he'll turn some heads. Look at the guys ahead of him on this list, think of how long they've played, look at the guys below him, and think of how long they've played. For him to be ranked where he's at coming out of a small school and never being a #1 option shows you they know he has talent.

Isnt Jackson the one that spiked the ball last year after he hadnt been touched but they still gave it to the Chargers?
Hes big, but this is going to be his what, 3rd year? Motherfucker better bust out this year

It is his 3rd year but will be his first year as a #1. He's been behind Parker/McKardell since he's been in the league. This guy is definitely going to be a stud.

Wow, Shaub is tops on the list. Thats just stupid.

Santanio Holmes should have a much better season with a healthy Roethlisberger..........unless Big Ben was a fluke.


Also, if Eric Weddle win the starting safety job for the Chargers he's going to be a hawk.

If we are, it wont be Schaubs fault, it will be that o-lines

The o-line isn't as bad as people think. It's not great or good by any means. But it isn't terrible. Kubiak will be using 3 step drops most of the time to compensate for it's below average status. I think he will be alright. Plus, if you watched any Texans games last season, you will know that Carr was responsible for a majority of those sacks. If any QB in the league constantly holds the ball for as long as he did, they would be sacked as much as he was.

Even then, they were 9th in the league in sacks allowed. Hasselbeck was sacked more than Carr. The o-line will be alright.

Well said, plus we had guys injured last year that aren't now. Matt does have a quicker release unlike Carr who like midge mentioned held on to the ball.

Shaub will be.......just okay. But to say he is the next breakout superstar as the article Atrain posted, and so vehemently believes, is just ludicrius.

The fact that Kubiak goes to 3 step drops so much shows just how bad that line really is. Kubiak's offense is all about moving out of the pocket and getting the ball downfield.
