I keep telling people that the Texans are going to be good this year.

All they need to do is stay healthy

Johnson+Schuab+Walter+Daniels+Davis+Slaton=Win

I don't know how their defense is looking though.

I have to agree though I think his rookie season was Slaton's breakout one. His name may not be that big yet but he performed well.

Another Texans fan :bow:

ivee got a feeling that Phillip Merling will break out, the guy is a monster and the dolphins front seven could be very scary next year

 

[Kia Kaha]

And to those who say Rashard Mendenhall will break out, well when the ravens play the steelers the only thing breaking out will be his other shoulder, Ray Lewis = Monster!

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

Dude was a top producer at Ohio State for what it's worth - his college production kind of contradicts the term "workout warrior".

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, production in the college ranks doesn't always translate to the pros. Any scout could tell you Gholston's technical skills are lacking, while physical skills are abundant. I don't hate the idea of calling Gholston a workout warrior. It could be the only reason he ever pans out and avoids the bust label.

OR

RayRay falls on his face and gets a seperated shoulder...again.

Dude seriously? You're gonna talk shit about Ray Ray? Dude broke Mendenhall's chest with a tackle.....Think about that again, he broke a guy's chest.

Ray Ray = Best MLB of all time (since I've been alive)

 

[T.Dot]

interesting to look back here after the season and see whose guesses were way off

 

[Derrville]

Dwayne Jarrett
Dwayne Bowe
Ted Ginn
Vernon Davis

I was liking your list till I saw Vernon. He was the pride and joy of us Terp fans.. untill he came out and was a huge bust. Work out warrior ftl...

Anywho... Allow me to add some names.

-NFL-
Steve Slaton
Dwayne Bowe
Jordy Nelson

-Ravens-
Joe Flacco?
Fabian Washington

You told him!

Felix jones would be to easy since he showed a ton of flashes last yr with his 8.9 avg.

Miles Austin-with TO gone he will be the number 2 WR, because we all know Crayton wasn't good enough to be the #2 when TO was here. Miles has the speed to strech the field and has decent hands that will make defenses pay for doubling witten.

Money

Ray Rice /homer

Money

RB Cedric Benson - I think this season he'll prove why he was such a highly touted RB.

QB Sage Rosenfels - I think he will win the Vikings QB spot and do really well as long as he doesnt try and hurdle over defenders for a 1st down up 13 points with 4 mins elft.

RB Kevin Smith(homer pick) I think the kid is great and will have 1400 yards and 15 TDs

CB Leigh Bodden - New England got a steal with this guy. He is awsome but losing with DEt just absolutley broke this guy, but NE has an nact for signing these guys and turning them into All-Pros just to let them walk once thier ego gets too high.

Right about Benson.... to everything else.

Cowboys' Felix Jones
Cowboys' Mike Jenkins

I can dream, right?

Dreams come true

Steve Slaton for the Texans
Matt Schaub could have a pro bowl season if healthy.

So you think Slaton will have a breakout season after having the 6th highest total last year? Marvelous, are you related to Miss Cleo or something?
Schaub=never gonna get it, never gone get it.**singing**




Benson won't happen. He's injury prone 1, he can't carry the load 2, and he's proven when healthy he's average. I mean he's had 5 100+ yard games in 4 years. He's Rashaan Salaam 2.0,

Depending on what the Lions do with the first pick Kevin Smith could have a breakout season or be at risk to have the sophmore slump. If the Lions draft Stafford he's at risk for that sophmore slump. If they go with I think the top tackle one the board is Jason Smith from Baylor, Smith could get over 1,000 yards, but I doubt he'll have the season you expect. He'll be the focal point next season most likely.

My choices
If I may, let me go with some steelers, Rashard Mendenhall will make in impact and get noticed next year, not sure if you can call it a breakout but he'll get talked about, and Timmons I hope takes over as the starter next season and people start talking about him as having a breakout season. I also think Holmes will become a top 10 WR next year. He hasn't had that "breakout" season yet. 824, 942, and 821 yds in his first 3 years. I expect him to improve into the 1,100 yard range and eclipse double digget TD's.

:kanyeshrug: You told him as well!

 

[wingsfan77]

I'd say DeSean Jackson has to be a candidate for breakout player, he had a good rookie year but absolutely exploded this year

 

[Leftwich]

Scott Starks of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm sure he'll start as a Nickelback this year but will prove he is worthy of being a #2.

Mike Walker showed signs of a lot of potential when we played the Steelers and he might be jettisoned into the #2 WR spot. Hopefully with his mix of speed an route running will make him a good WR. He really needs to work on his hands in the offseason.

OH SHIT!!!! I was half right.

 

[Gonzo]

Anthony Gonzalez. Poor fella. I doomed him.

 

[Wildcard]

I think it is obvious that Miles Austin, Visanthe Shiancoe, Cedric Benson, or Vernon Davis should be Breakout Player of the Year.

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

Vernon Davis IMO is hands down the breakout player of the year.

Goes from averaging 375 yds and 3 tds over three seasons to leading the NFL in receiving TD's with 13 total, and 965 yards.

Leading all TE's in touchdowns is one thing, but leading all receivers in TD's is another.

I was ready to slap the bust label on him if he crapped out again this season, but this year I became a believer.

Curtis Lofton will establish himself as a premier linebacker.

2008- 94 combined tackles
2009- 133 combined tackles


The most solid hitter on the team. So glad we got this guy.

He's a good linebacker. I don't think he's premier IMO, but he's a damn good LB. my 0.02 pennies.

He's stepped into the starting role great his first two seasons. If he has another 130+ tackle season next year then its ova.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Non Seahawk pick - Vernon Gholston - Jets.. I think Mangini's a moron and Rex Ryan will turn this kid into a star.

Seahawk pick - Brandon Mebane.. kid will have a double digit sack season and make the Pro Bowl.

I deserve to jonesy myself.

:jonesy:

 

[Archer]

Anthony Gonzalez.

Hands down? You mean Austin isn't even in consideration? Coming from being a no-name, undrafted guy trying to fill in for TO, to ending the year with 1300 yards 11 tds and 81 receptions in 12 games as a starter.

I am not saying Davis doesn't deserve it but to say he should win it hands down isn't even close to being correct. If anything its 50/50
