Breakout and Disappointment Team of 09'

This coming year in the NFL will be a great one, as I predict the surprises and disappointments of the season to come. My team to beat is the Minnesota Vikings. In one of my recent posts, I said Favre would come back, which will settle the Quarterback problem in Minnesota. Also, when Favre leaves after this following season (hopefully permanently) Tavaris Jackson, the backup will have learned a lot from a hall of famer in Favre. Veteran Receivers like Bernard Berrian, he will teach the Vikings first round draft pick Percy Harvin to be explosive like he was in college. With the running attack in Adrian Peterson, and Pro bowl offensive linemen like Steve Hutchinson blocking him, Minnesota will have on of the best offensive attacks in the NFL. On the other side of the ball, 3 pro-bowl defenders in Jared Allen, Antoine Winfield and Kevin Williams, lead a strong attack.The disappointment team of the coming season is the San Diego Chargers. This is a bold prediction, but LaDainian Tomlinson is 30 now, and I think he will follow in the steps of former great running backs like Shaun Alexander, and Marshall Faulk, who seemed plateaued at the end of their careers. To me, the Chargers resemble this years New York Mets, except a football team. They are actually a well-rounded team on paper, but I am predicting things to fall apart. Last year, they lost to the Panthers, Dolphins, Bills, and Broncos, all teams that they should have beaten. They beat the Chiefs by one point every time they played them, and the Chiefs went on to be 2-14 that year. So, all of this will come together and the Chargers will have a terrible season, I am predicting a 4-12 record.
