Top Five Biggest Questions Into This Year’s NFL Season

Top 5 Biggest Questions into this year’s NFL season

    This past off season the New Orleans Saints were faced with what seems like impeccable odds to do anything this season. Bounty scandals in which players were being bribed with money to hurt opposing players, Head Coach Sean Payton and Pro Bowl Line Backer Jonathan Vilma were suspended for the entire season. Thank God that Drew Brees got a fat contract to keep him around because with all this going on, they could not afford having their franchise player not reporting to camp because of a contract dispute. Will these Saints stay on top of the NFC or will the distractions be too much?

    The New England Patriots came within minutes of securing their 4 Super Bowl title last year but were defeated again by Eli Manning and the New York City Giants. The Patriots added a #1 receiver in Brandon Loyd and other weapons on offence to make sure there will be somebody to get the ball too. They also upgraded their defense by adding 2 first round draft picks to the mix, it has to get better than the worst defense in the league right? Now with these additions, will this be the year they win it all or will they fall short once again?

   The New York Jets seem to be always making headlines and this off season was no different. Along with Mark Sanchez’s mega contract extension, the Jets added QB Tim Tebow. With all the Tebow fans coming along for the ride to the bright lights of NYC, Mark Sanchez is on a very short leash and considering all the Tebow hype, don’t be surprised if he becomes the back up. The question is, will Mark Sanchez be able to keep his job or will Tim Tebow Mania take it over?

   Adrian Peterson was hands down the best running back in the NFL 2 years ago. He was wreaking havoc on the league and breaking records left and right. After tearing his ACL & MCL last year, will AP be able to return to his dominating self or will the injuries catch up to him?

   Peyton Manning was traded from the Indianapolis Colts to the Denver Broncos. After spending his entire career in a Colts uniform and after a few neck injuries, both parties decided it was time to move on. Will Peyton Manning return to Hall of Fame form or has the best of Peyton Manning come and gone.
