It's that time of the year again as I look at each division in the NFL on a day to day basis and decide who will win it. The first division I'll look at is the NFC West. Where to begin here? I guess we'll start with the runner ups last year and that was the St. Louis Rams. Not a great statistical season for their QB, Sam Bradford, in 2010 but you'd expect that with a rookie. I see bigger things for Bradford and the Rams this season with their main contenders being the Arizona Cardinals. The Cards get Kevin Kolb in a trade and lock up Larry Fitzgerald for a long time. They do sacrifice a bit on defense trading Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie away but their offense gains a ton.
As for the other two teams, why even bother. The 49ers are going to limp along again this season with Alex Smith as their QB. Sure they have the pieces around him but it's him that's the problem. As for the Seahawks, they are even worse off. Their new QB solution, Tavaris Jackson, hasn't really shown any good qualities that lead you to believe he can get this team to the playoffs again. The Niners may be borderline .500 but the Seahawks will be way below that.
As to who will win the weakest division in football, I have to say the Rams. It seems like Bradford will get better this season and Kolb in Arizona just is too much of a question mark for me to say they are the better team. If Kolb turns out to be that elite QB that's expected of him, look out Cardinals. But I have to pick the St. Louis Rams.
