Pick 3 Players league wide (including the Pats) who you think will have the biggest improvement off thier 2009 NFL campaign and 3 Players you think will have a lesser productive year compared to last season.
Obviously no rookies will count in this discussion....
Improving players >
Adrian Peterson - Had fumblelitis last season and showed a decline from his rookie season but he has been working hard to fix his problem and I think he will be stronger and faster this year more like 2008 than 2009.
Darius Butler - I think this kid is going to be an all-pro in a very short time,while he was not a major factor on the defense last season he did show flashes of brilliance,I believe he will play a bigger role on defense this year and I expect a superb season from him.
Donovan McNabb - I really think this is the right team and at the right time in his career for McNabb to show he can still play the game at a top level and I expect him to have a special year and stick it to the ungrateful Eagles organization who chose to go elsewhere with thier QB.
Players on the decline >
Chris Johnson - A logical choice considering he had over 2,000 yards last year...I don't expect a significant drop but I don't see anyhere near another year like he had - Its hard to come near what he did on a mediocre team last season
Drew Brees - An Elite quarterback still,but it seems that SB champion QBs have a lesser year the following season and struggle a bit more,so I am guessing that this trend won't change.
Larry Fitzgerald - I still love this guy but IMO its a big dropoff from Warner to Leinhart and I think this will have a big effect on the Cards offense and in particular the remaining force of thier receiving corps
