Quote:Back in 2010,  the NFC West didn't even have a team that went .500.   The Seahawks won the Division with a 7-9 record.   Three seasons later,  this division is arguably the best in the entire NFL.  As down as the NFC East and AFC South are collectively,  with the exception of the Colts,   Jerry Glanville's famous NFL= Not For Long quote comes to mind regarding how the fortunes of a division can change relatively quickly.

 

Regarding the AFC South,  the team that probably has the most question marks in terms of the direction they will be going in beyond this season is Tennessee.   Will the new owner look to make a G.M and/  or Head Coach change?   If yes, will the new G.M and/  or HC and his staff believe in Jake Locker as the long term solution at QB after two injury plague seasons?    Even if the current staff is retained,  will they want to go with Locker as their primary option,  knowing that he displayed improvement this season but would be entering his 4th season with as many questions as answers?   Can Chris Johnson be counted on as a feature back,  even with his big play ability?

 

Agreed. 

 

The good news in the division is that the Colts bottomed out 2 years ago. The Jaguars are bottoming out now. The Texans roster still has way to much talent to sink that low. 

 

That leaves the Titans. They have not bottomed out yet. I think things are going to get much worse for them before they are going to get better.
