You're not serious, right?

Based on what? He's a solid rotational guy... He cracked the rotation consistently on a loaded Seattle front, but you don't expect him to make it here?

Only person on this list I might disagree with is Snow. While I do think Brad Smith gets cut eventually, I don't know if it will be yet. He may be in the same boat as Lindell tho: A veteran that isn't a roster lock who would be better served by being released early in the preseason.

Most teams end up caring AT LEAST five.

EVERYBODY should think Stevie is a lock. If anybody thinks otherwise then they just don't know football. Or maybe anything, for that matter. Roster LOCKS (not just vets): EJ Manuel, CJ Spiller, Stevie Johnson, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin, Scott Chandler, Eric Wood, Kraig Urbik, Cordy Glenn, Mario Williams, Alan Branch, Manny Lawson, Jerry Hughes, Alex Carrington, Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams, Kiko Alonso, Nigel Bradham, Leodis McKelvin, Stephon Gilmore, Da'Norris Searcy, Aaron Williams, Duke Williams, Garrison Sanborn. That's just 24 players. There are at least 10 other guys that are in the "90% category" but I still left some off.

haha... no

Kaepernick didn't start for a year and a half. Held back. Russell Wilson had to absolutely steal the starting job and was limited early. Held back. Manuel isn't the talent that the other three were coming out of college. So obviously they'll want to bring him along a little slowly.

Give me Stevie, Woods, Goodwin, Graham, Rogers, Easley. Then Dickerson, but he's a utility player that can play FB/TE/WR so he can count in a few places.

Yea, maybe a dumpoff was the best option. But it's the preseason. Maybe Tannehill was just thinking about taking a bigshot. He knows he has the job, so maybe he just wanted to try to make a big play. Not that big of a deal. I've seen flashes out of Tannehill that make me believe he'll be solid.

Depends. Do you like number 4? Are you okay with risking his career for a preseason first down? 5 should've got the ball if anyone.

If he throws it to four at just about any point in this, four gets absolutely jacked up. Then look at the down and distance. And there's the two reasons four didn't get the ball. Also, I'd love to have a quarterback that makes the perfect read on EVERY play.

I think it was going to take Kevin Kolb looking like a whole new QB for him to win the job. The days of stopgap starters to get your young guns ready are DEAD.

The biggest game of his career? Quit it. It was week six in the college football season. Not even in his top ten most important games.

There's a lot of different stuff done to rookies. I'm sure he's been getting something. I'm hoping this isn't the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if coaches instruct the team to limit the way they mess with rookie QBs in a QB competition. Less distractions.

I think the NFC playoffs is going to make this year amazing. Even though I have the Packers missing it, I think ATL, SF and SEA alone will make it entertaining.

NFC North: Chicago Bears (4) NFC East: New York Giants (3) NFC West: San Francisco 49ers (1) NFC South: Atlanta Falcons (2) Wild cards: Seattle Seahawks (5) and New Orleans Saints (6) AFC North: Cincinnati Bengals (2) AFC East: New England Patriots (3) AFC West: Denver Broncos (1) AFC South: Houston Texans (4) Wild cards: San Diego Chargers (5) and Indianapolis Colts (6) NFC Championship game: Atlanta Falcons 24, San Francisco 49ers 23 AFC Championship game: Denver Broncos 34, Cincinnati Bengals 24 Superbowl (and SB MVP): Atlanta Falcons 35, Denver Broncos 31 Matt Ryan SB MVP Reg. season MVP: Peyton Manning Defensive Player of the Year: Patrick Willis Coach: Marvin Lewis Off. Rookie: DeAndre Hopkins Def. Rookie: Kiko Alonso

Post your predictions! Just copy and past this and give your prediction. Put the seedings if you're bold. NFC North: NFC East: NFC West: NFC South: Wild cards: AFC North: AFC East: AFC West: AFC South: Wild cards: NFC Championship game: AFC Championship game: Superbowl (and SB MVP): Reg. season MVP: Defensive Player of the Year: Coach: Off. Rookie: Def. Rookie: If you want to just do the SB and a few awards, that works too.

Manny Lawson is by no means a big FA signing. He's a rotational player. I like him for Pettine's defense and am glad we signed him, but he's not a big FA signing.

Well it's not like he's a young guy out there. He's not going to be any better than he has been before. He might make a few more plays if given the opportunity by a new DC, but he's nothing to get your hopes up over. With that said, last year was his best NFL year ever. So maybe he'll put up better numbers even while on the downside of his career.

You claim that I haven't been in the military so I wouldn't know about it. I countered by saying that you haven't been in the NFL, so you wouldn't know about it. To make it easier for you: the argument that the lack of firsthand experience renders a person unable to comment/generate though on the subject is old and tired. It's not a true sentiment, especially not in today's world. To be clear: I have respect for every member of the military that doesn't put themselves on a pedestal. Being in the military doesn't automatically make you a better person. Being a better person while in the military makes you a better person. There are PLENTY of military members who are far better people than me, but there are also plenty of everyday office workers who are better than some members of the military. It's not like being in the military automatically catapults you to the top of the social class. Act a little more humble, and show some respect yourself... That's how you earn respect.

Seconded.

I think, at this point, it's just that he is what he is and nothing more. He's a rotational player who will make a play here or there. Nothing anybody really gets excited over or depressed that he's still around. Good guy.

You're on an NFL message board. Have you played in the NFL? If not, you wouldn't understand and shouldn't comment on the NFL.

Since this thread is supposed to be about predictions from the PRESEASON, not regular season like many of you are going with: Jairus Byrd returns before the second preseason game.
