AFC West - Who's the worst?

[crizpynutz]

Let's see what the competition is doing:

Denver Broncos - The donkeys are losing depth on defense, especially at the DB postition which was weak as hell to begin with. Trading Brian Griese for Jake Plummer is no upgrade but at best an equal substitution. Shannon Sharpe isn't getting younger, Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey have been injured so much they have a free pass to the injury report. Now the owner wants to play a bigger role with the team. The donkeys by all estimations are poised to finish last in the West right now.

Kansas City, San Diego and Oakland will actually be improved from a year ago while the Broncos are either even or taking a step back. The Blue & Orange will be looking at a very difficult year next season if they don't make some moves this offseason for a couple of impact players.

They fizzle after week 8 every year...I can't see that changing.

I think the Donkeys are falling back.And the Chefs and Chargers are staying even.

I think the Chiefs helped themselves by signing Barber. But the Donks and Sandy Eggo will be about the same as last year. Sandy Eggo, no matter how good they seem to be, always goes in the tank the second half of the season. As for the Donks, Gardner won't be the impact player they were hoping for and Plummer won't be any better then a drunken Griese.

THE ONE WITH NEWEST QB!

With a complete absence of my usual efforts at football analysis and logic...

PLEASE LET IT BE THE BRONCOS!!!!!

I believe it will be. the Chiefs, although overpaying like mother ****ers, are at least better. Same with the Chargers. That doesn't mean they scare me or they're Superbowl contenders, just better. The donkeys on the otherhand are going backwards.

I still think the Raiders are the class of the Division but the margin is shrinking. We also get a break in the schedule this year.

KC will be the toughest challenger. They had a lot of injuries last year and I assuming they will heal (Holmes especially). They also have some youth on the DL and if they can pick up a top CB in the draft or a Douglas at DE, their D will be much improved.

SD now has the ingredients for a top O. I expect them to pick up a OL in the draft as well. But their D will not be good enough.

Denver's D appears to be weaker and they will have big ?'s at QB and TE if Sharpe retires.
