Which New Player Will Have Best Season???

[NewWulf]

Will it be Bernard Berrian? Thomas Tapeh? Madieu Williams? Tyrell Johnson?

Also, will Sidney Rice have a breakout season?

i'm going to say Jared Allen will have the best season

and rice will have a break out year

That's a good question. I'd have to narrow it down to J. Allen, B. Berrian, and M. Williams. I don't know if JA will have great #'s if teams start to double him, but then KW/PW will make the opposing teams pay for that. MW may see more INTs due to the added QB pressure that JA brings (doubled or not). BB may see more catches/yards/TDs due to the extra time the offense sees on the field. But the production of MW and BB stems from what JA brings to the table, so while Jared Allen may or may not have the numbers to make you say that he's having the best season of the new acquisitions, I think he'll have the best/biggest impact if that makes any sense.

When teams find the Vikes actually have a somewhat decent passing game (when compared to last season) with BB as the #1 option to complement the Vike's dominant running game, Rice will find more often than not he'll be in single coverage and it will be up to T-Jack to take advantage of the situation, which very may well translate into a breakout season for Rice..

hard to judge "great" in terms of stats I would say Allen, but in terms of taking a weakness and fixing it I would not say Allen but rather Madieu Williams. We take our weak spot of the defensive backfield and put in a guy that is considered one of the top coverage safeties in the league.

"Best season" is kind of hard to define in football with the multitude of positions. Good point on MW. Even though the upgrade MW brings over the departure of D. Smith is bigger than the upgrade JA brings over Udeze/Edwards/Robison, the point I wanted to make is that JA does more for this team as a whole (I really value the d-line and QB pressure in football) than a MW, Tapeh, BB, etc..
