Cool. These guys have been studs for a while except for Leinart. Not more imaginative?

well ronnie brown hasnt really proven anything yet, and vernon davis certainly hasn't done anything yet, so i wouldn't say they have all been studs.....

Anyways, here is mine:


QB: Leinart

RB: Laurence Maroney
RB: Adrian Peterson
WR: Mark Clayton
WR: Jerricho Cotchery
WR: Calvin Johnson

TE: Vernon Davis

I'm game:

QB: Vince Young
RB: Laurence Maroney
RB: Michael Bush (he'll be drafted high, and to a team that needs him)
WR: Calvin Johnson (next stud WR)
WR: Marques Colston (I'm slightly biased)
WR: Mark Clayton
TE: Ben Watson

Ronnie Brown has. His stats were superb last year for a guy splitting time, and he's been a top-flight back this year, on the verge of the elites. I'd say if he has two more games like he did Sunday, he'll be in the mix with Portis, LT2, etc.

QB: M. Leinart
RB: L. Maroney
RB: B. Jacobs
WR: G. Jennings
WR: M. Colston
WR: Re. Williams
TE: K. Winslow
K: Who cares
DEF: Jacksonville

QB: Alex Smith (Almost has reached stud status, but isnt consistant enough)

RB: Maroney (Its destiny)

RB: Adrian Peterson (They said he could go to the NFL out of H.S.)

WR: Calvin Johnson (He's just too impressive not to suceed by his 2nd year)

WR: Chad Jackson (Will become Bradys #1 Target soon, and Bradys got lots of game left in him)

WR: Chris Henry/Bryant Johnson (if they can stay out of trouble, keep improvment going, And either advance up the depth chart, or be traded)

TE: None to really emerge, studs will be very similar to what we have now.

K: New England's Rookie kicker should be decent

DEF: Seattle's D will be top of the line, even if they are considered a top dog now, they are young and will only get better.

Not really next year or even the year after, but down the road I think these guys will be studs.

QB- Jason Campbell - A real hit or miss, but could end up being a McNabb type QB. Could get quite a few rushing TD's as well.
QB- Alex Smith - Significant improvement and still very young.
RB- Laurence Maroney
RB- D'Angelo Williams
RB- Marshawn Lynch (The Giants will take him next year and he will become a stud)
RB- Adrian Peterson- Wherever he ends up, he should be in the upper echelon of running backs.
WR- Reggie Williams
WR- Chad Jackson
WR- Calvin Johnson (depending on where he lands)
WR- Jason Hill
TE- Alex Smith

ummm, last year he ran for 907 yards and 4TDs, with 4.4 ypc. not bad, but not a proven stud.

ok, so this year, breakout? well, he has a 3.8 ypc, which is very poor, and 405 rushing yards in 6 games, with 4 TDs. So his TD numbers have been solid, but he is on pace for around 1100 yards rushing, and he isn't splitting time....that's not that great.
