Avon Gunslingers

Studs

Steve Young:
One of the ultimate Bada**es in the NFL, Young is a multi-dimensional player. A great passer, solid runner, and undisputed leader of a 49er team that plays in the weakest division in football, and is a perenial Super Bowl contender. Barring an injury, which is always possible, look for Young to once again lead the league in QB rating and with the resurrection of Jerry 'Christ' Rice, look for some unbeliable numbers from this aging Gunslinger.

Curtis Martin:
After suffering through a an injury plagued 1997 campaign, the 25 year old Martin is ready to return to form under the guidance of the Big Tuna and his ground based attack. The revamped Jets will look for Martin to take much of the load off young Glenn Foley or crappy Vinny Testeverde (whoever ends up getting the majority of the snaps.) Don't be suprised if Martin leads the AFC in rushing based upon the Jet's weak schedule (especially divisional opponents) and the Big Tuna's commitment to the running game.


Duds

Tony Martin
King of the Sellouts. Martin left a good system in San Diego with a promising young QB to go play in the Georgia Dome (READ: football is an OUTDOOR game) with the pathetic Falcons. Spending too much time in the offseason sitting on his big piles of cash and his laurels don't be suprised if Martin is one of the big free agent flops this season. [Of course, I drafted him, so I must not think so. =)]


Will Make the Playoffs IF:
The team plays well in weeks 2-5 and 8-11, and the teams aging QB's can stay healthy enough to put up respectable numbers.


Matchups to Watch
Week 2: Matchup with Benevolent Dictators will prove who rules the pink house on Zimpel street.

Week 8 & 11: If the Gunslingers have any notions of winning their division (and I don't see any reason why they would) they will have to prove their mettle in these two interdivisional high noon showdowns with the divisional favorite Galt's Destroyers.
