My guess is TE Vernon Davis of the Niners and RB Michael Turner of the Falcons will have breakout seasons.

Davis will benefit from having Mike Martz as Offensive Coordinator, as the pass-first philosophy will take hold of Northern California.

Turner will finally get his chance to run the football on a regular basis after many seasons of being LT’s caddy in San Diego. Remember, Turner is the only halfback to have a 75 yd. run in the last three seasons.

Jamey – Yes, those numbers are a stretch. I didn’t say he would, I said he could. He could also throw 10 TD and 25 INT and get booed out of Green Bay. Derek Anderson threw for 3800 yards and 29 TD in his first year as a starter. It was unlikely, but it happened.

Bay – Cutler’s schedule is tough, but it looks a little better than last year. Marshall’s suspension hurts, but once he’s back, Cutler will have Marshall, Eddie Royal, D-Jax, Stokley and Scheffler to throw to.

I’m a big Jay Cutler fan JP … But I worry about his receivers and the schedule. That may hold his numbers down a little.
