Walt: New England Preview

[DraftKidWonder]

I liked your preview but three things:

• Stephen Gostowski was 21-24 last year, an 87.5% completion percentage. Then you predict 22-29, a 76% percentage. What?

• You bash the defense and give it a top 3 ranking? How with that back 8?

• And this is a personal beef but explain to me how the Denver Broncos are a "roadblock" but Carolina is beatable by Detroit? You really have to kidding yourself with all due respect. Please explain to me why Carolina sucks.

Other than that I liked it. You were dead on on both sides of the ball and you are one of the only people, including me, that thinks Laurence Maroney is a good running back. Somebody on here said he was a bottom 5 back. Like I said, good job.

[DraftKidWonder]

No I'm just saying Denver isn't as good as Carolina. At all. Walt thinks Carolina is horrible but he thinks Denver can beat NE while Carolina can't get passed Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, Notre Dame, Louisville, a 7th grade all star team, etc.

They are an extremely good all around team who I think can win the division and that's no slight to Tampa Matt, trust me.

Whaaaaat?

For the Panthers to have a shot at the NFC South crown, Jake Delhomme's surgically repaired elbow has to be at 100% the entire season, Mushin Muhammad/DJ Hackett needs to become a legit #2 receiver, and Julius Peppers needs to relearn how to get to the QB.

Delhomme should be ok but injuries are so unpredictable, Hackett should win out and don't forget about Dwayne Jarrett, and Julius Peppers is a pure stud plain and simple.

I said Mauroney is a bottom 5 back. I'm sticking by it. He's sandwiched between Edgerrin James and Ahman Green.

Wow. Make me a list of your top backs 1-32 for me please.

PP, I am sorry to say but you are somewhat clueless.

K, thnx 4 being so vague.

[PuppyPuncher]

I like Carolina, but it's just so tough to seem them winning the division with the ho-hum defense. New Orleans has a good looking defensive line finally and Tampa Bay will probably have the #1 overall defense next year.

[Blazedestin]

Jacobs is a top 15 back. He's definitely better than LenDale White, who plays a similar offensive role. Obviously, Jacobs is a bit of an injury risk, but that apparently isn't a concern on your list, Puppy.

Ryan Grant is a one year wonder...No way he should be top 10.

Larry Johnson at 22 is by far the worst. He is a top 10 back possibly even top 5.

No Chester Taylor...Fred Taylor? Just because they don't start doesn't mean they don't belong in there.

I like that you have AD #1 though.

PP, I'm sorry, but I have to (throws up) agree with (throws up) with IVF (completely ****s self).

[Blazedestin]

Larry Johnson is done. Herm Edwards ran him face first into the ground. The fact that they drafted Jamaal Charles in the third round means that they no longer have any faith in him to carry the workload. It's a shame, as he WAS a top 5 back. He's no longer a viable starter, either in real life or in fantasy.

[Eagles4Life]

PuppyPuncher, Fred Taylor?

EDIT: I just noticed IVF already made the point...
