NFC West Prediction

Wow, everyone on ESPN is picking Seattle to finish 4th this year. While I'm not excited about TJack I don't think that the Seahawks will finish last. This is a terrible division. The 49ers for one have lost most of their defense this offseason and did not replace any of them. They have good weapons on offense, but I don't think Alex Smith is much better than TJack. Gore is better than Lynch, but Seattle has better receivers and I would call the Tight ends a wash with maybe a slight advantage to SF. San Fran is my 4th place team. I think the Cardinals are going to be third this year. They traded their best DB for an unproven QB. What's the difference between Kolb, TJack, and Smith? The difference is that everyone already knows that TJack and Smith are bad. We will find out soon enough that Kolb is too. He will be an upgrade over what they had last year which was pathetic so I think they will be slightly improved. Losing Ryan Williams after trading Hightower though will leave them thin at runningback. The division will be a battle between the Rams and the Hawks. Bradford is far and away the best QB in the division and I think that he is the difference maker to put that team on top. The rest of their talent, imo, is no better (probably worse) than the Seahawks.

Here is my prediction:

Rams 9-7
Hawks 7-9
Cards 6-10
4whiners 4-12 (Hopefully we see some Colin Caepernick. I enjoyed watching him in college)
