NFC loaded already, reloads


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.

Thanks for reading
