T-Justice Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 ok here's how i see the nfc west shaping up this year: (1) san francisco 49ers: mike singletary is doing a great job with the 9er's they dont have much competition in the weakest division in the nfl and vernon davis and up and coming star michael crabtree should keep the 9er's rollin in the right direction. 10-6 (2) st. louis rams: yes i said st.louis rams ok don't think im stupid but i'll tell you why i have them here. ahhh... the rams far from their glory days in the 90's but bringing in young new talent people talk bad about the rams O-line but they're not as bad as you think they have a healthy jason smith on the left a new talent in rodger saffold on the right mike bell in the middle and a beast by the name of steven jackson in the backfield they finally got rid of marc bulger and now have sam bradford as we all know but they also got mardy gilyard who i think will be a star in the nfl.their defense is improving under spags they still have oj otogwe,james laurinitus in their defense. i think they have the potential to surprise some people this year 8-8 (3) arizona cardinals: ok kurt warner makes a huge difference here without him they just aren't the same team.matt lienert is just not very good at least not so far their running game is not all that great their defense is decent but i just dont see the cards doin much with the tuff games on their schedule. 7-9 (4) seattle seahawks: the seahawks have matt hasselbeck who is still productive but getting old they did add russell okung to help the line, an electric running back in cj spiller in the draft and a lockdown safety/corner earl thomas which was the best draft in the nfc west in my opinion but i still think they wont get it done this year. 6-10.

Seahawks21 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Got me excited about CJ Spiller for a second. My thoughts are fairly similar to yours, except I don't see the Rams getting more than 6 wins. Barring injury, the 49ers should be able to capture the division fairly easily. The one X factor could be Beanie Wells. The Cardinals have a good enough roster to finish above .500 if they can limit Leinart's mistakes. A lot of NFL analysts are looking for the Seahawks to be the most improved team in the NFL. I just don't see it. Their line is still bad, they added Golden Tate but lost their best receiver from 2009, and Matt Hasselbeck is punch-drunk at this point. The defense could be improved but they still have no pass-rush whatsoever and figure to lose the battle in the trenches, especially to the 49ers. If Alex Smith continues to progress from his somewhat successful 2009, they could be a flat-out scary team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampnuts Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hawks could steal this division if they start out strong. If Matt plays gun shy like last year then they're screwed. I think AZ steps back big time, but Beanie Wells becomes a fantasy force. Rams are years away, but the Niners are probably the most poised to take the division.

Gopher Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Niners should win by 2-3 games. SHOULD win. The only way it's close is if they fail to win games they should win, and come back to the rest of the pack as a result. I just don't see anybody else finishing better than .500... The Seahawks still have a lot of holes to fill, as do the Rams (sorry, but Gilyard will be pretty much a non-factor in year 1), and although the majority of the Cardinals roster knows what it feels like to win, the QB position alone limits them to 8-8, maybe 9-7 at best. That could be enough to compete with SF, but only if the Niners underachieve. I just don't see it... Smith is gaining confidence, Gore should be healthy, Davis coming off a monster season, and they bolstered their O-Line more than anything else in the draft. They also added some needed depth on defense, at LB and in the secondary. I see them winning 10-11 games, and to be quite honest, running away with the division by early December.

Seahawks21 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I just went down the list of projected starters for the 49ers and Seahawks. You could argue fairly easily that the 49ers are better than the Seahawks at 21 of he 22 positions, with Housh probably being the only clear favorite for the Seahawks, and even that isn't by much. The only other close positions might be: QB--although Smith played much better than Hasselbeck last year SLB if Curry ever does anything FS if Earl Thomas can play better than Goldson, who himelf isn't bad at all. Thank goodness for Olindo Mare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and there is no way the last place team in this division wins as many as six games. The Rams and Seahawks might barely combine for six wins. Don't kid yourselves, folks... These teams are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 S.F has been gradually moving in a very good direction so far. I think they put it together this year and take the NFC west in a tallest midget type of way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 And you are A Rams fan too. Not as die hard as I once was. My homerism has gradually shifted to my home city boys, that being the Bolts, over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Here's how I would rank the NFC West: 49ers---another good draft this year--more protection for Alex Smith--improving defense with Patrick Willis & others Arizona--takes a step back this year with the retiring Kurt Warner Seattle--great first draft this year for Pete Carroll but there are quite a few holes to fill in the defense--Lendale White a disappointment for the offense & no more Waler Jones St. Louis--should be better than last year with Bradford at QB--defense still needs some work but the Rams should be a couple games better this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Niners finally take the division after such a long fall from the top! Just taking the division and making the playoffs is a championship to me right now So go get some Niners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
