The NFC West Division Preview - Next Fan Up - 7/11/15

The NFC West is shaping up to be the most interesting division in the NFL. PodVader is joined by new SuperFans, Drew Brooks -Cardinals, Charlie Seahawks, 49ers Charly, and the O.G., Jarrod for the Rams. 

Couple of news & notes: Greg Hardy suspension reduced from 10 games to 4. Broncos and Cowboys being investigated for collusion. Fireworks injuries over the July 4th holiday. Ken Stabler dies.

Seahawks still have to be considered the kings of the division. Cardinals are no longer upstarts and they are going to run on Carson Palmer. Another player retired from the 49ers (joking), but can they remain at the top of the division? The expert darlings are in St. Louis. 

Best QB in the divison? Seahawks say there's no argument with Russell Wilson but is he NFL elite? The argument is if Colin Kaepernick is number 2 in the West. 

RB begins and ends with Beast Mode. Andre Ellington has to be the number 2 RB in the West, although Drew says it could end up being Todd Gurley. 49ers says watch out for Carlos Hyde. This swings into the Oline argument which helps the RB argument. 

But the battle begins with the WR corps and the Cards and 49ers try to top the other with useless stats to make their claims. Jimmy Graham makes the Seahawks an intriguing group. Never mind the Rams but...

They do have the best Dline in the division, perhaps in the NFL. Retirements took a toll on the 49ers front 7. Cards and Seahawks still strong there.

Legion of Boom, despite losing Byron Maxwell, is still best secondary in the division and maybe only second to the Jets in the NFL. The highly touted Rams don't have much in the secondary. 

Schedule predictions and see ya next week with the first ever SuperFans All First and Second Team Teams.
