Last season I wrote pretty extensively about the NFC East. This is a hard fact to swallow for a NFC North kind of guy, but the division had the most compelling storylines and it seemed every team in the division had at least a couple of weeks in which they appeared to be serious playoff contenders (even the Washington Redskins were once 2-2 in 2010). This season I am going to have to swallow that bitter pill again.

The Washington Redskins are the 2010 Redeem Team. Donovan McNabb needs to prove he is a Super Bowl-caliber winning quarterback, Coach Mike Shanahan has to prove he was not just riding John Elway and Terrell Davis’s coattails for two years, and a host of veterans want to prove they have not yet passed their prime.

The NFL Season is 14 weeks old and the experts are talking about who is the most value player. I hear names like Kurt Warner, Eli Manning, and Drew Brees. I hear about a couple of running backs named Adrian Peterson and Michael Turner and a safety called Troy Polamalu. I do not hear talk of who is the least valuable player, though.
