NFC South Preview

The NFC South had some good drama last year. Matt Ryan proved to be a good quarterback at the next level and got his team to the playoffs. The Panthers won the division and then lost horribly to Cardinals in the playoffs. Drew Brees passed the ball in New Orleans most of the time and the Buccaneers basically had a playoff spot until they caught the same bug the New York Mets had. What will this year hold?

My Prediction: Falcons claw their way to the top. Tony Gonzalez coming to the team helps the Falcons significantly even though he is in his 30's. Plus they played well last year without him getting a 11-5 record. I don't see the Panthers getting lucky this year. Even though they keep Jake Delhomme, he is not a good enough quarterback now to be successful in the playoffs if he can get them there again. The Saints are third to me. Drew Brees will not pass the ball that much this year with Reggie Bush healthier now. The Bucs seem to be in rebuilding mode and will likely finish in fourth. They have a new coach, a new QB, and just fired their offensive coordinator. It will be a season or so before they become relevant again.
