There were a bunch of competitions this year, lets see who you think wins:
Qb:
Hou - Hoyer vs. Mallett - this one is over, for now its Hoyer. But watch this, as I think if they are mediocre they may make the switch back.
Buf - T.Taylor, E. Manuel, M. Cassell - This one is still up in the air. OF the three, I love Taylor's athleticism, but I think they go safe and game manager with Cassell.
Cle - J.McCown vs. Manziel - yeah this wasn't a competition......or was it? By all reports Manziel has really turned it around, but now has a elbow issue. McCown has not really impressed but will start this year. I think this again will be a mid-season change depending on how team does. I think they wanted to take the pressure off the kid, but bringing a vet in to take the heat and start the season.
Was - RGIII, C.McCoy, K. Cousins - yeah this was no competition, but after last game it may be again. McCoy and Cousins have showed well, RGIII not so much. Key thing raised by many today on TV was you don't see one single player on team come to RGIII's defense. Not one. No vet or Wr or anyone. By some reports he is not liked at all in the locker room. Only time will tell what happens here.
Rb:
NY Giants - Jennings, A.Williams, Vereen - Jennings was expected to be the main back, with Vereen as the change of pace and receiving back and A.Williams for short yardage and goal line. But some reports now have Williams taking carries, and no real news on Vereen at all. Status Quo here I think, but lets see if youngster can come out on top.
Tenn.: B.Sankey vs. D.Cobb - Sankey sucked last year, no if ands or buts. He had a great game last week though, so maybe the kid has turned it around. Cobb on the other hand has done very well, and is well liked by the coach by all reports, but an injury just popped up. Still, I think Cobb takes over at some point soon.
Was: A.Morris vs. M. Jones - All Alfred Morris does is his job. He isn't flashy, but he is consistent and solid. But Jones is flashing, and they may have to run alot to protect whoever the Qb is. I think Morris keeps his job for now.
N.O.: Ingram vs. C.J.Spiller vs. Robinson - Seems like this one never ends. I will say this though, N.O. is not stupid, they realized they lost a ton when they let both R.Bush and D.Sproles go. C.J. was to be that role and still could be if he can stay healthy. However, Ingram and Robinson have been really, really good in his absence even in the passing game. So who knows if C.J. ever gets the chance....or can ever stay healthy?
Cle: Crowell, West, D.Johnson - no competition really, as none of them can get healthy enough. By all reports the team and Rb coach is really down on all three, but Johnson is starting to flash. This may just be a total avoid at this point.
Det: J.Bell, A.Abdullah - Bell has not stepped on the field yet, but coaches say he will start once healthy. Abdullah has been good and bad, which is to be expected. Most feel Abdullah takes over this year. I don't, I think Bell is the starter until he either gets hurt or end of season. Then they will go to the rookie next year.
Atl: D.Freeman vs. T.Coleman - I have heard almost nothing here. Both have been hurt, but I have heard no news on who they like or don't. I think this could end up RBBC in a big way. No idea.
for the life of me, can't think of any Wr competitions...other than Indy.
Ind: for the #3 wr slot - Moncreif vs. Dorsett vs. Carter - all have done pretty well, but Dorsett is very dynamic, but to me he is another T.Y. Hilton, so not sure if he would be back up or #3. Only time will tell.
