Will the St. Louis Rams be better this year?

The Rams are actually thinking now and getting decent players. The draft picks they got are questionable but the pick-ups they've made are really good. Their new coach will be better than Martz seeing as how he won't throw the ball the entire game like Martz did and they're new defensive coach is really good people don't think he's good just because he coached the Saints, but that's the Saints.

No, They already put a lot of money into Arron Rodgers wether he will be good or not is still left to be seen. Also it is not certain that Farve is leaving next year, which is something he said.  Although Matt my become a great QB, he will at least be a good qb, they had several more pressing needs on the Defensive side of the ball and AJ hawk will be a great player. He flies all over the field. With him, Nick Barnet and abdol hodge(their other LB drafted this year) will allow them to build around three fast and good LB's on the side of the ball that wins championships. D-FENSE!!!!

Hell yeah. The core of the team is back next season. The defense will only get better. They'll have a solid running game with Benson and Jones. The only question marks are at quarterback and receiver. They should get a decent receiver in the draft (and maybe pick up someone like Randle El) and Orton and Grossman should improve. The schedule looks kind of tough too with Denver, KC, and San Diego. \n\nBut again, look at the other teams in the division... Bears shouldn't have a problem getting to the playoffs and making a run.

OH MY GOD! OFCOURSE THEY WILL.\n\nAlex Smith (2005 #1 draft pick) is the future and the smartest kid ever drafted.The guy carried a god awful Utah squad to an undeafted record. He runs like steve young with a cannon arm like Elway. He struggled like 90% of all rookie Qb's do. \n\nFrank Gore is coming off an awesome rookie season. Talented running back Kevan Barlow, hardhitting saftey Mike Rumph, and big play tightend Eric Johnson are all healthy.\n\nMike Nolan went out and drafted athletes. Freakishly explosive TE Vernon Davis might be a steal at the 6 spot. The 2 rookie Hybrid LB's could have an immidate impact on  pass rush defensivly.\n\nThe secondary will get a much needed solid cover corner to go along with Shawnte Spencer...in Walt Harris.\n\nEveryone the niners lost in the off-season has either been consistently injured or an underachiever the last few years.

Texas Will Have the better season because with exception of a couple of players the whole team is gonna be back.  USC is loosing all of their star players. they're not even gonna make it to a bowl game this year.

No, they won't.  The Falcons are starting to throw the ball a little more, which is good for them.  They need to be more balanced on offense to achieve their goal as a team.\n\nFor more on the Falcons and the NFL, check this site out.  http://www.factipedia.com/sportsblogs

They should be better this year, with more speed and better pitching staffs.  But they would probably still finish last in AL west.  Athletics, Angels and Rangers are still better teams.

They might as well, their season is pretty much over after how they've played the last 4 weeks on offense.\n\nFor more on the Vikings and the NFL. http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

I believe with a healthy Culpepper (which I believe he has something to prove) and Nick Saben making the moves that he has I think they will be a serious contender for a wild card spot. There defense is getting old but saben has started drafting for defense so they should be o.k. there as well. They do play in a tuff division with the patriots but they should be able to beat the other teams in there division. Also there schedule isn't that difficult being that they didn't have that great of a season last year

Actually they have a pretty good team this year with sheets, turnbow, and c lee.  I can see them making a run at it this year but the cards are way to strong.  I bet in the next 2 to three years the be in it.

I think the raiders will improve to about 6 - 10 this year.  It may not be what you want to hear but it is an improvement over their last season.  They will be in some close ball games but I think Aaron Brooks just doesn't consistently make great decisions with where to go with the football.  Brooks will look spectacular at times, and then make a couple bad throws that could cost his team a game.  Also their running backs are serviceable, as long as they don't put the ball on the ground.  Their linebackers and safeties have recently had a problem with wrapping up and are missing open field tackles.  Michael Huff was a good pick, that guy is a solid and safe pick.  The Raiders will work through this year and show improvement, but will still lack quality offensive lineman and some linebacker / safety / cornerback help.  They are moving in the right direction now, but will not have quite enough to make the playoffs just yet.  Now if Aaron Brooks improves in his decision making like Jake Plummer did, and all of their draft picks and free agent acquisitions have career years, then they can...but this is the football equivalent of winning the lottery.

I don't think so. With the way the NFL is these days, they could easily find a way into the playoffs, but I woudln't consider them a championship caliber team.\n\nTheir greatest strength is their offense. They have a great RB, two phenomenal WR's, and a very good QB in Kurt Warner. The also added a potential all-pro TE in Leonard Pope, so their biggest concern offensively will be whether or not their OL will gel and perform at a productive level.\n\nDefensively that is where they need the most work/help. They upgraded the secondary last year and need for alot of their younger guys to take the next step. \n\nAll of that being said, I think we should definitely see an improvement on last years 5-11 team as long as Kurt Warner can stay healthy, he is the key.

the cardinals seemed to have the best overall draft this year; addresses their needs and planning for future success for the first time in a long time...in years past, arizona was the joke of the league, making questionable choices every draft and investing their future in choices with little upset and pro potential...this cardinals team is a dark horse for a playoff birth this year, and don't be suprised to see them contend seriously in the next few seasons, with their young defense, which should resemble the ball-hawks of cincinnati and kansas city by next season the latest; matt leinart should be ready to go by 2007, and edgerrin james will put up great numbers in arizona, similar to the ones he posted in indy....the cardinals had the best draft, plain and simple, and the proof will be (excuse the clique) in the pudding, with their success in the upcoming nfl season

No, they add tremendous talent- but they need work on their offensive line and for some of their receivers (i.e. donte stallworth, devery henderson) to help out. They will do better than last year, but far from the "best"
