Who will have the break out season?

[AnonEmouse]

I'm actually backing Jacobs to be the #2 WR. I think it won't matter though as Gibbs will throw in enough 3WR plays that we wnd up with the second coming of the Posse with Gardner playing the Monk role. IF Coles, Jacobs, Gardner and Cooley can be the new Clark, Sanders, Monk and Didier, then Portis does his thing (I can't compare him to any previous Skins back if he lives up to his potential), I don't think it matters who starts at QB.

On D I expect Smoot, Arrington and Washington to step up. If Taylor can live up to his college form, then we can scare ANY offense. Of course that would rely on the DL being able to stuff the run and tie up pass blockers for the LB's/Taylor to run free at the QB...

I wouldn't sleep on McCants. Everyone is talking bout Jacobs and Thrash but all McCants did last year was grab TD's and make big plays for us. Also I think Gardner is going to have 1000 yard season. With all of our options on offense I think he will have a great year. I think Jacobs is going to have a solid year but not better than McCants last year, and Thrash will be a good special teams guy and maybe make a play ever once in a while but I don't think he is going to stand out .

My Picks:
1. Coles
2. Gardner (huge mistake if we get rid of him)
3. McCants
4. Jacobs
5. Thrash

I think it is a real stretch to believe that we will have 4 WR's with a big (or solid) season with around 8 TD's. For most teams, 2 could have that potential. In a Gibbs system, possibly 3 WR's, if our passing game does rise close to the level it had in his first term here. I believe Gardner will be ONE of the odd men out, and that Thrash is in the mix as much as McCants and Jacobs. But having all this "potential" talent competing is a great situation to be in. Ain't it fun imagining...
