Preseason Polls - Southwest Division

[braven112]

Just for fun I thought we would start some polls to see who the favorites are to win the league. We'll start going division by division and the winners of each poll will face off. Since we are breaking this down by division we can vote for ourselves, if we want and still get some good results.

I was wavering here between the Decleaters and Degenerates, but went with the Decleaters. If the Degenerates had a sure fire QB, I'd have selected them because of the depth at the WR and RB position. Being able to trot out Mathews, Marshall, Cruz, and Andre Johnson every week is gonna be a tough matchup! Too many question marks at the moment at what's quickly becoming an incredibly important position in Fantasy Football if neither Flynn or Locker can win the starting jobs on their teams.

So I picked the Decleaters since there is a lot of depth with that team. If Shonne Greene can step up his game this season, Felix doesn't get hurt, and the depth at WR, to go along with Rice, Newton, Brown, DJax, and VJax every week... Should be a great lineup. Both the TEs that were picked up in the off season were both ones that I was targeting! Fred Davis was beast last year before his suspension and getting RG3 on that WSH should help his #s... Dunno what we'll see out of Bennett.. And Olsen is underrated.

Good thing you aren't an analyst for a living WW as you are way off the mark on this one...

This is another tough one to call, IMO. If Flynn can be the guy in Seattle (and as a seattle fan I hope he is), I think Degenerates has the most upside but only barely. The nightmare scenario here is Wilson winning the job to start the season and Hasselbeck plays the Titans into playoff contention keeping Locker off the field for one more year. I don't see it happening but its possible.

I think this division is closer then it looks.

Degenerates have that gaping hole at QB that I just can't ignore but the rest of the team looks pretty solid with some studs.

I think Poker and Vegas have some holes they need to address and if so could compete for sure.

I agree though that the Decleaters have the most to offer here with solid QB. RB with Rice, Green and McGahee? Ouch. He needs to drop like 8 WRs to get under the roster limit but just a quick glance shows DeSean Jackson, VJax and Stevie Johnson. That's a nice trio. TE has some potential.

So I think it's the Decleaters, but the other teams are right behind if they can make a trade or two.

Forgot my highest scoring WR last year (who only caught 2 TDs)

But yea, this division is all Poker's

Too much talent on Lber-Decleaters for the rest of the division to keep pace.

Newton
Rice
Jones/Green/McGahee
Brown
DJax
VJax
StevieJ
Davis/Olsen

I foresee the Decleaters in the semi-finals with that talent.

Agree with what most are saying. I am rolling the dice with my QB slot. I still think Flynn will get the job, contract usually dictates unless he is just a complete disaster in training camp. I'm a Packer homer so I think he is the real deal though. I think he'll get it done. Of course, I could be wrong.

If he doesn't work out, I am hoping like hell that Locker can win the job. If I strike out on both, I'll be looking to deal but I will wait to see how it plays out. I like Decleaters in the division, but I did well last season with a much worse team in my view.

We shall see.
