Right now I'd rank the Cowboys at a B- or stretching it a B not including Witten.

My vote for best in the NFC has to be Arizona with Fitz, Boldin, and Breaston. I don't think you can argue any team really has this beat in any capacity.

Philly has potential, but how much?

Carolina? Atlanta?

How about the absolute worst in the NFC?

My vote is going to New Jersey. Would you really want someone with 24 more yards receiving than Patrick Crayton in 2008 as your #1 guy with not much behind him?

Thoughts?

The Rams don't really have much at WR either.

Outside of Donny Avery, who is petty much at the level of Patrick Crayton, they have no one at WR. Pretty sad when you consider that a couple of years ago they had one of the best WR tandems in Bruce & Holt.

They did draft a WR in the 5th round but I doubt he's going to step in and be the next Issac Bruce for them.

SJax is gonna be running the ball 25 times per game this year. A lot of 8 man fronts. He's gonna beat to **** by the end of the year.

I forgot just how poor the WR's are for the Rams.....

It seems like yesterday when they were one of the most dynamic offensive teams I had ever seen.

Seems like the Greatest Show on Turf was just yesterday. Everything's cyclical in the NFL.

I doubt Jackson makes it through the year. If they were smart, they'd get a depth player like Deuce McAllister immediately. I vote their WR group is the worst and it is not even close.

In rough order, here are 5 of the best:

AZ.....L Fitzgerald, A Boldin, S Breaston, J Urban or Doucet
GB.....G Jennings, D Driver, Ja Jones, Jo Nelson
BUF...T Owens, Evans, J Reed, R Parrish or Ja Hardy
NE.....R Moss, W Welker, J Galloway, Greg Lewis or Br Tate (rookie)
DEN...B Marshal, E Royal, B Stockley, J Gaffney or Ch jackson


The worst used be be Jacksonville, but they upgrade some....anyway
Here are 4 of the worst:

SL....D Avery, L Robinson, N Jones, Br Foster (r)
OAK..J Walker, D Heyward-Bey (r), J Higgins, L Murphy (r)...so upside
CHI...D Hester, R Davis, E Bennet, J Iglesias or J Know (r))...so grt upside
TB....A Bryant, Mi Clayton, D Jackson, J Filini


I guess NYG, Jax, Tenn, Bal are down there too somewhere

If it make anyone feel better, I think if all the teams are allowed to add in the TEs and RBs, then Dallas probabably moves into the top 10. RBs and TEs are not at all the same as WR as far as game planning and deep threat (though Witten can do it at times) adding them in gives the bigger picture.

in all seriousness we would rather have someone proven alongside rw11 but realistically we're not going to have pro-bowlers at every position. with the potential and glimpses of talent we've seen from austin coupled with the productivity i would expect from our backs and tight ends if williams can reproduce the form he showed in detriot then i would say we have some great weapons to exploit the talent we have at qb
