Is it just me, or is it a down year for most big name players and most teams in general?Shawn Alexander, LT, Larry Johnson, Frank Gore, Marc Bulger, Drew Brees, Donovan McNabb, Steve Smith, and others who usually are top-performers are stumbling out of the gate. Teams like the Saints, Eagles, Bears, Charger, Bengals and others are struggling. What's up?

I've noticed the same thing. I've never been a big Alexander fan to begin with. LJ? Just shows you what happens when you when lose two Pro-Bowlers and your starting QB.

I'll add, on a somewhat (homer) related noted, of the young guns, JC is playing as well as any of them if you ask me.

I have a thread where I'm following their respective stats, but I'll wait until after the GB game to post it
