The
Minnesota Vikings as we know by now made a big splash signing away from the
Packers Greg Jennings. The addition of quarterback Matt Cassel appears to be a
great move.
The NFC
North is the best division in football but I look around and seeing other divisions
making moves as well which is very concerning.
I look at the
San Francisco 49ers who just lost to Baltimore in the pas t Super Bowl. They
lose Randy Moss but add Anquan Boldin. The 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick
is back for year 2 as starter although last season he was inserted mid-way in. The
running game is already tough with Frank Gore ripping it up.
The Seattle
Seahawks lead by now quarterback, Russell Wilson coming into his second year as
well. The addition of Percy Harvin just made that team just that much better.
The 49ers
and Seahawks already have very good defenses while on the offensive side of the
ball made moves to make both teams equally concerning.
The Atlanta
Falcons lose in the NFC Championship game to San Francisco. This team is
already built to win with a young quarterback, Matt Ryan and the receivers,
Roddy White and Julio Jones are young, speedy and big. Tight End, Tony Gonzalez
was thought to be leaning towards retirement. The NFC did not get so luck as
back he comes. The running game I thought was very good with Michael Turner
leading the way. I guess I was wrong because they only go out and make a big
splash with the signing of former Rams, Steven Jackson. The rich just get
richer. The defense then adds a veteran
defensive end from the Giants, Osi Umenyiora.
These 4
teams, the Vikings, Seahawks, 49ers and Falcons were in last season’s playoff
and what do they do? They add players that will make each of these 4 just that
much more dangerous.
The quarterbacks
in this conference are top notch as well with Rodgers (Packers) Brees (Saints)
Romo (Cowboys) Stafford (Lions) Cutler (Bears). Do I need to say more? Then you
have youngsters as I mentioned previous in Kaepernick (49ers) Wilson (Seahawks),
RGIII (Redskins), Cam Newton (Panthers.) This conference is loaded with talent.
In the end
the Vikings quarterback Ponder will make a name for himself as he will have a
banner 2013 season I predict. My thought if he can put together 16 games
together like he did last season against the Packers and 49ers we will be in
for a fun historic year.
