As always, lists like these are highly subjective. That being said, I'm surprised to see the Donkeys ranked so high. Here's hoping Tatum Bell becomes Clinton Portis II.

Likewise, I think Miami is rated a tad high. They have no set starting QB yet, David Boston has been busy being David Boston since he got here, I'm still not sure they have 5 guys who can block and the best move by the offense this season may end up being Ricky's haircut.
So they're not exactly inspiring me to put them in the top 1/3 of the league. But then again, maybe they'll do better with lowered expectations. God knows they have issues with meeting high expectations.

No. It's an annual tradition: Eagles make the NFC Title game, lose at home to a team that they're supposed to crush. My money's on the Cardinals this year. | Packman V2

I think the main question with the Titans is McNair's health. If he keeps getting banged up they won't finish in the top ten. If he can stay healthy, then they likely are top five. Big question though. | JoshMann

I love McNair as a player, but I just feel like the day's going to come sooner that later that he doesn't bounce back from the beating he takes on a game to game basis as fast as he has. It's like Allen Iverson and the beating HE takes and how it now seems to be catching up with him. | spf

Da Bears? Grossman's still a second year QB, who has only started one (or two?) games. The o-line, while it should be better, is still up in the air at left tackle. There's still no proven running game (remember, Jones couldn't start in Tampa Bay). And remember last year when everyone was whining about Urlacher being over-rated on the airwaves down there? What's changed there -- they're still looking for the reincarnation of Washington and Traylor on the inside to protect Urlacher. | The King of Keith
