cats, unless the Vikings get a QB I don't see them being anything special.

I honestly think the Browns are going to be up there. With what they are doing to their front office, and the amount of draft picks they have, I can see them starting to come together and become a really, really good team. Laugh all you want! lol

Besides that, I like the Texans and Dolphins as my sleepers

I dont see how anyone could argue with Dallas, Miami or Tennessee.

Henne or whoever needs to prove they are a consistent QB for them to be in the discussion.

I think Romo is past all of his issues, I'd def. want him on my team.

Young isn't a franchise guy, but you don't need to him be, that guy is in the backfield.

Henne is young and this was his first year getting PT, give him a chance..

I'm going to throw the Eagles out there. Kolb looked good when he played this year.

If he keeps progressing, an offense of him, McCoy, Jackson/Maclin, and Celek will be explosive for the next decade.

Not to change the subject, but do you see the Eagles keeping both Kolb and McNabb next season?

Ehhh, I'd say Roethlisberger, Rivers and maybe Rodgers looks to be the elite QB's as Manning and Brady ride off into the sunset. That's providing Roethlisberger's career is not cut short because of concussions.

Those guys make their teams as good as any place to start.

Oh, and whoever said Romo....he'll be 30 in a few months. I'm not a buyer.

However, we are all forgetting Drew Brees and NO. Brees turns 31 in a few days, but I think he's a guy who could easily be very good into his late 30's

Personally, I think all the rule changes favoring the offense and QB have diminished the value of a great QB. I'm skeptical that a great QB provides the same edge it used to. Almost more about who gets the ball last these days.

These QB's are all going to be major factors in the postseason the next 5-10 years:
Brady, Peyton, Roethlisberger, Brees, Rodgers, Rivers....possibly Romo....And who knows how guys like Flacco, Sanchez, Schaubb and Ryan will pan out.

I think it's very possible there will be no dynasty this decade. In fact, we could see 10 different SB champs. Unlikely, but I don't think you'll see a team win three, unless no salary cap completely changes the dynamic.

I know the Browns are being said as a joke, but I think they could be a team that makes the biggest leap over the next 10 years from the previous. Granted, that is much easier for them than pretty much any other team (Lions come to mind), but I think the Browns can make HUGE strides.

I'm not a huge fan of the team or anything, but I enjoy watching them and have for a while; they are a hard team to dislike unless they are a rival. But they are going to be good with Aaron Rodgers at the helm.

Good point. If they average 2.3 wins more per season this decade they will finish .500

The Dolphins if they ever get a #1 WR have a shot. Until Henne has some help, I'm not willing to call him great or a bust.

Maybe not the team of the decade, but hopefully much improved. 2000-09 was not our decade.

I never didn't give him a chance. I just said he needs to prove himself to be a consistent QB. Obviously he can't do that in a year. I'm just saying until that gets proved, I don't think Miami can be nothing more than an outside for best of the next decade discussion.

I think Pittsburgh still has one or two more Superbowls left in Roethlisberger.

The Raiders were not in a Super Bowl in the 90's. Had a chance, but Buffalo rocked them 51-3 in the AFC Championship.
