NFL 2010 Breakout Players

[Wizard]

Just been watching NFL Live and they convinced me on two players.

Chad Henne
Michael Crabtree

ESPN article about players who could make their pro bowl debuts. List includes Greg Jennings, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco and Dunta Robinson. Atlanta are looking the good this season. Can't see ryan making it, has to get past Romo, McNabb and Manning for the likely 3rd spot while Flacco has the difficult task of moving ahead of Garrard, Schaub and Young.

No, you've got that wrong. Garrard, Schaub and Young only played because Manning was in the Superbowl and Rivers, Roethlisberger and maybe someone else (?) pulled out. You need to remember two of the best QBs of the year aren't going to play because it's the week before Superbowl.

I presumed they were talking about those three were jostling for that 3rd spot. Is Brady the person you forgot? I think Flacco will move past those three this season and maybe Big Ben and then yeah it depends on if Manning, Brady and Rivers are at the superbowl/injured/etc.

he would be good.. if he wasn't soo injury prone

Yep, this is the issue. Hard to rate him properly until he stops being made of glass!

Bit of a Homer pick, but Julian Edelman could be up for a big first few weeks. He shines without Welker on the field. He had 8-100yds first career game v Jets, 10-100 against Houston and 2tds against Balti in the Playoffs.
With Welker not expected to be ready at season's start he fill the role inside Holt and Moss quite well.
A lot of pats fans expect big things from Brandon Tate aswell. Would have been a first round pick if not injured and he showed promise before he reinjured the knee.

No-one is Wes Welker but if there is anyone close it's Julian Edelman. Interesting he was a college QB.

Hopefully Jarret Johnson can show the rest of the league what ravens fans have known for a few seasons, IMO one of the most underrated players in the league.

Hester is guaranteed 1 starting position and Cutler himself has said Aromashadu (sp?) is his favourite reciever. Predicting who wins out camp battles is pretty silly IMO. Especially when you have die- hard fans in the States watching every practice in person and posting updates that say otherwise to what is said in this thread.

while Flacco has the difficult task of moving ahead of Garrard, Schaub and Young.

Pffffft.

When you're on American forums, all you need to do is read the first post of the thread for the news. Once that is done - RUN.

A lot of Americans are narrowed minded or easily lead, most the time they are just repeating some nut jobs opinion.

For the record, don't see Flacco as a breakout player as I already think he is doing a quality job at QB.

Apparently they have been working on some double pass plays with him in the pre-season.
