Surprise players this year, good and bad | Page 2

I'm going with Solomon Thomas as having the disappointing season. Not writing this kid off, at all. I just don't think he'll have an impact as a rookie. Saleh seems to love Tank. Anything more than 4 sacks would surprise me. Biggest surprise will be Hoyer. He's the guy I hoped we'd sign because of how impressive he was in Cleveland. He made them competitive and he definitely looked the part. With Kyle leading the charge, If he stays healthy, I'm expecting 3600 yards, 25 TDs. He'll be on the fringe of being a top-10 QB.

He's got to earn a starting role first. The NFL needs to step aside and let these players attend their rookie offseason. The learning curve is too steep for them to show up right before camp and contribute early.

Disappointing season = Bowman - (I think the Achilles is going to take some time to come back from. I think it slows him down the majority of the season).
Biggest surprise = Armstead - (I think AA gets comfortable in the LEO position and gets double digit sacks for the season).

Your take on Bo is blasphemy. For me he has shown his mental make-up enough times to where he has to prove that he can't do it, not that he can.

He's not the same Bow - the ACL and the Achilles have taken it's toll.

It's because of fans like you

Childish!

Bo's performance has zero to do w/fans and everything to do w/him.

Good Surprise = Trent Talyor in a VERY big way.

Bad Surprise = The Secondary - I feel it is going to be a long first half of the season for them [I hope I'm totally wrong]

Stellar Year = Pierre Garcon is going to be our new AB but faster.

AA will be a force - double digit sack and mega hurries

I think the huge good surprise will be goodwin and taylor.

The letdown will be garcon. But just because taylor, goodwin, and kittle take everythin.

I see Matt Breida surprising.

Solly will look like a bust but will be developing.

Bourne will be in a conspiracy before supremacy and will become and identity.

RR will be a standout by seasons end.

The secondary will only be a surprise if they are competitive.

I like Goodwin over Garçon.

Like your thinking about Taylor and AA.

All conjecture but great to have these guys as talking points.

I think Kittle will lead the team in Rec. touchdowns.

Good surprise, Dontae Johnson will have a breakout year.

Bad surprise, Kilgore will be benched in favor of the rookie lineman from Michigan.

That wouldn't surprise me at alI. Hyde could be that guy too.
