1. Trindan Holliday 2. Adrian Peterson 3. Von Miller 4. Marshaen Lynch 5. Arion Foster 6. RG 3 7. Russel Wilson 8. Mike Tolbert 9. Ray Rice 10. j.j Watt 11. chris Clemons 12. Jared Allen 13. Clay Matthews

Since Harbaugh came we've been sort of ignored. Last year it was the schedule which meant we had that great record, this year it's running with a second year QB who gives us something that Alex Smith doesn't (thereby partly addressing that criticism of Smith). I think we saw on Sunday night just how good this team can be. Okay, the Patriots came back and nearly won but that was at their own place with their conditions and them being the form team in the competition. With a bit more experience that game would've been closed off at half-time (we should have been 17pts up by end of first quarter alone). The only team to fear in the NFC, for us, are the Giants because of their Leeds Rhinos type postseason form. Outside of that, we've beaten everybody and with room to spare. That doesn't mean the others should be written off, including teams like Seattle.
Think the NFC is an up for grabs situation whereas the AFC comes down to Manning and Brady for me.

Still can't beat the Rams
If only we played with that intensity against every team!

I'd avoid Matt Barkley just because of how terrible USC QB's are. Sanchez, Leinart, Cassel. The best is probably Carson Palmer, and he was average at his peak.
Carson Palmer was a lot better than average in 2005 when he led the league in td passes and completion percentage but he never reached his peak as just as he was starting to be a great QB he tore his mcl and acl in a playoff game against the Steelers and has never been the same since,but I agree the rest of USC's QB's have been useless.
