I am a writer in a blog called Pardon My Bias, we have a bunch of articles on all sports, below is a copy of my article on the NFC West, if you like what you see, please visit Pardon My Bias
The NFC West has been the shame of the league, and possibly the weakest division in any sport. Optimism has been high for many teams, but there has been a lot of disappointment. This division has a lot to prove this season to lose the reputation of the weakest link.
www.midwestsportsfans.com
St. Louis Rams – The St. Louis Rams finished with the worst record in the league with a 1-15 record. This landed them the first pick in the NFL Draft in which they selected former Oklahoma Sooner Heisman QB Sam Bradford. The Rams have not had much success with only had 4 winning season in their 15 seasons in St. Louis, and this upcoming season can be written in as another losing effort. Their only win last year came against the worst NFL franchise, the Detroit Lions. Bradford has a huge task in front of him. The Rams were rumored to sign Terrell Owens but decided to skip out on him, which may have been the best move since Bradford already has enough pressure being thrown into the league with the worst team. The problem with not signing TO is that Bradford has virtually no targets. The Rams are a long way from the “greatest show on turf” as they were known as under the Mike Martz campaign. Second year coach Steve Spagnuolo is on the hot seat; I expect him to lose his job by their Week 9 bye-week if they aren’t able to win 2 games by then (Week 5 vs. Lions, Week 7 vs. Buccaneers respectively). The only shining star left in St. Louis is RB Steven “Action” Jackson. Jackson had a good year in 2009, compiling his career high 1,416 rushing yards, but only had 4 rushing touchdowns. The TDs will have to increase this season and Jackson will have to push the team to earn wins. The young offensive line has potential but a lot of pressure on them this year to protect #1 pick Bradford and Jackson. The Rams will be swept by their division and will have to aim pick up 3 wins this in order to consider it a successful season.

Seattle Seahawks – The big news in Seattle is the hiring of new head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll brought in his own coaching staff but will need to bring in more players if he wants to be successful in Seattle. The Seahawks finished last season with a 5-11 record putting them at 3rd in the division. QB Matt Hasselbeck appears to have one last ride this season in attempt to resurrect his career and get back to his 2007 season stats in which he threw a career high 28 TDs. Hasselbeck was plagued with injury in 2008 and only started seven games. Last season, he started 14 games, but threw 17 interceptions with his 17 touchdowns. Hasselbeck will lose one target this season after trading Nate Burleson to the Lions. The two receivers suffered injuries in the offseason, T.J. Houshmandzadeh (sports hernia surgery) and Deion Branch (knee scope) have both resumed practicing at the start of training camp and have a lot to prove. Houshmandzadeh has to live up to his $40 million contract to prove that he is capable of being a number one receiver. To do so, he will have to bump up his TD total of four from last year. The Seahawks have a slew of RBs with Justin Forsett, Julius Jones, and Leon Washington (LenDale White was cut in May), who will all have the potential to create a real ground threat in Seattle. They had 3 picks in the first round with Russell Okung, Earl Thomas, and Golden Tate. Seattle will need them to be impact players this season. This will be a building season for the Seahawks under a new coaching staff, but I think will be able to build on some positives to become a playoff contending team in the next three seasons.

Arizona Cardinals – The Arizona Cardinals made it back into the playoffs after their Super Bowl appearance in 2008. The Cards entered the 2009 season with expectations but were barely able to sneak into a wildcard playoff spot with a 10-6 season record. They were able to beat the favorite Packers in a 51-45 thriller in OT in the wildcard playoff game and went on to lose to the future Super Bowl champ Saints. This brought an end to future Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner’s illustrious career. This set up the scene for a passing of the torch to 2006 #10 draft pick Matt Leinart, who still will have to battle in camp with veteran Derek Anderson for the starting job. Assuming that Leinart gets the start with the money investment the Cardinals have made in him, he will have a lot of pressure to perform up to his potential this season. The Cardinals took a big loss when trading number two receiver Anquan Boldin to the Ravens. Leinart will still have good targets with Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston, and Early Doucet who all just need a good ball thrown to them to make big plays. The running game is below average with Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells, so a lot of the offense will have to come from the air. The defensive line is still solid with DE Darnel Dockett (who’s ready for the season judging from this) and Joey Porter at LB, and a secondary highlighted by Dominque Rogers-Cromartie and Adrian Wilson. The Cardinals playoff hopes will be decided by the two head to head match-ups with the up and coming 49ers, which is their only real competition in the division.

San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers have been building up the last two seasons with a 7-9 record in 2008 and 8-8 record in 2009. This year expectations are high, and the missing the playoffs is not an option for Mike Singletary’s team. Alex Smith was benched the first five and half games but came in and threw for a career-best 2,350 yards, 18 TDs, and 12 INTs. There is no doubt, all the pressure falls on Alex Smith’s shoulders this year. He will get the full season to start barring any injury and he has a lot to prove in what could be his last chance. The Niners picked up receiver Ted Ginn Jr. from the Miami Dolphins who is a speedy receiver and good punt returner. Michael Crabtree has also had one more season to develop and will have to be ready for the number one option role this season. This athletic receiving crew has been put together to challenge the divisional rival Arizona Cardinal’s strong secondary. The stable of the offense will still be RB Frank Gore who will have to continue running downhill to pick up the tough yards and keep the offense moving. Gore ran for 1,120 yards for 10 TDs in 14 games last season and received help from back up Glenn Coffee as well. Gore will have to have stay healthy this season and rush for more yards this season to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Niners have not made any drastic moves but have allowed their players to develop nicely, and this year they will be put to the test. Bay Area fans are hungry for the playoffs, and their hopes rest in the arm of Alex Smith. I think the Niners have what it takes this year to make it on top of a very weak division.
Predicted Standings
- 1. San Francisco 49ers (11-5)
- 2. Arizona Cardinals (7-9)
- 3. Seattle Seahawks (6-11)
- 4. St. Louis Rams (2-14)

As much as I want the Niners to blow out the rest of the division...
I am growing tired of the west being knocked as incredibly weak every year.

Not even close
Over the last 5 years the NFC West has lost 20 more games than the AFC West. The Seahawks are the only NFC West team that’s won more games than it’s lost over that time frame, and they managed to do it by only two games.
AFC West
Broncos—45-35
Chiefs—29-51
Raiders—20-60
Chargers—55-25
Total—149-171
NFC West
Cardinals—37-43
49ers—31-49
Seahawks—41-39
Rams—20-60
Total—129-191
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Records are not an indication of how strong the conference is.
Check the season in which we played against the AFC West and then you can make the assessment. Raiders, Broncos, and Chiefs have had dramatic changes in the last 5 years, as well as our entire division. Our division will have a better record vs them this season. And not to mention there was a HUGE change in power due to time after years of greatness. In the last 10 seasons how many AFC west teams have made it to a Superbowl, or even enjoyed some time on top. Rams, Niners, and Seahoes have all had time at or near the top. Raiders, Chiefs, and Broncos haven’t sniffed that in the last 10-15 years, maybe the Broncos, but that is just 2 teams vs 3.
Black Sand Ninja!!!
15 years is an eternity
might as well ask which conference is the best of all time. It’s a ridiculous thing to compare.
Go back more than 5 years and the exercise becomes futile.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
I wrote something last year about the NFC West and weakness/perceptions
Bottom line is both conferences suffer from the NFL schedule but the AFC West unlike the NFC West has a set of unbelievable home field advantages.
I still think the NFC West has been the worst division in football over the past 5 years
though the AFC West is close behind.
However, take away the two worst teams from the conferences (Raiders and Rams respectively) and the AFC West pulls even further ahead.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Well
Just nice to hop on this am and see some Niners positive talk living in the valley of the Cardinal sun.
I like to think of myself as football realist and see the niners taking the division by storm this year, I hate saying this but the team to beat in the division is the Cards until they lose the division out right.
Also Sick and tired of hearing that Singletary is crappy coach here in AZ I hope we smash the Cards!!! The sports talk radio people really talk bad about him really gets old.
Sing
The reason you hear talking heads on the radio bashing Singletary is because they have Whiz over in AZ, who is god’s gift to football in their eyes. The Cards have never had a good coach or productive team until he came along, so obviously they talk him up big time. Sing can prove this year that he can be a good coach, or at least improve over last year.

Three minor differences of opinion
I don’t think the NFL west, in relative terms, has been weaker than the NBA east or the NL west has been the last few years.
“The Niners have not made any drastic moves…”. Two rookies drafted to start on the OL, a safety drafted to play nickel or better in year 1, a new veteran CB for the nickel or dime package, a new starter(s) at WR, a total revamp of the kick and punt return unit, and a new backup QB seems pretty drastic to me.
“and received help from back up Glenn Coffee as well.” Well, that is debatable at 2+ yards per carry. We all hope (and believe) that he will make more of an impact this year.
Seriously?
I know nothing about basketball, but the NL West has been the strongest division in the NL for two years running now. The Wild Card came out of there last year, and will almost definitely come out of it again this year. The SE division in the NHL has been the butt of jokes for a long time, but at least has one contending team in the Caps. Honestly, the NFC West is probably the only division in pro sports that won’t have a serious contender this year. (Hopefully the Niners prove me wrong, but I’d be extremely surprised by anything more than one playoff win.)
The NL west is good this year but has sucked in the past
The D-Backs are horrible and will remain horrible for the foreseeable future, the Rockies just can’t seem to put together a balanced team, the Dodgers are falling….fast, the Giants’ recent run is really amazing but they were not very good before it, and the Padres have finally lived up to their potential.

drafting doesnt make a drastic difference, i meant by trades, and look at the post for the nl west, theyre not weak
Trades? In the NFL?
You mean like the awesome trade the Cowboys made in 2008 for Roy Williams?
In the age of the salary cap drafting and developing players is more effective than signing overpriced free agents.
Michael Crabtree > Brandon Jones.

Drastic Moves
1. There rookies
2. Rookie
3. What cornerback? Will James? Karl Paymah? Whoever they wont make an impact.
4. Ginn is not a starter.
5. true there.
6. keyword, backup.
NBA East:
Orlando, Cleveland(Well not anymore), Miami, Boston. But they are all not better then the lakeshow!
NL West:
Padres are one of the top teams in the NL, best pitching staff. Giants(sadly i have to say) are a good wc team. Dodgers are the best team ever, but thats just the L.A. in me talking.
Um, how am i supposed to sign this thing? It's a computer?!
Dodgers are horrible.

Mr. Bias ...
… i’m think’n in the last Ten year’s this divison has put Four team’s in the S.B. , granted only One win , but what other divison has done that , juz say’n …!!
Gotta love a woman that wear's knee pad's to work ...!!
One team doesn’t make a division strong, but three different NFC West teams have made it to the Super Bowl in the past 10 years. While the division isn’t the strongest, it certainly is far from the worst in sports.
I think, even though the Celtics have made 2 Finals appearances and won one, the NBA’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division is quite terrible (Boston, Toronto, Philly, New Jersey, and New York = loud, loud fart noise). The NL Central division in MLB is pretty bad too, this season especially (3 teams already have 60+ losses, and Milwaukee has 59).
People love dogging on the NFC West, so I won’t hold it against you. It isn’t a great division, but it’s not the worst in sports.

I'll read the rest..
But I’m wanting to tune out after the first sentence. AZ made the SB two years ago and the SeaChickens were there less than a decade ago.. Unfounded superlatives piss me off and there’s no way the NFC west is the weakest division in all sports..
I know what I'm talking about, I started at right guard for the 1992 College Park Falcons.
“This year expectations are high, and the missing the playoffs is not an option for Mike Singletary’s team.”
Proofread this.

You might be right
But when you make a statement like that you should qualify it. Does the NFC west have the worst winning percentage over X years? Least playoff appearances? Least playoff wins? Highest differential between best and worst teams (least competitive). Again, if this was just some random fan-post I wouldn’t critique it, but you’re running a commercial site seeking advertisement. If you’re truly looking to be professional than you should appreciate critique.

in the past decade with one super bowl win.
the nfc west has 3 super bowl appearances in the same time with no wins.
you cant compare the nfc east’s super bowl wins to the nfc west’s super bowl appearances and pretend its a fair comparison.

It's not a terrible piece
Needs some proofreading. It’s really such an overview that I can’t imagine any of the information is new to people who check out this site. I looked at your site and read another 49er story, really nice web design but honestly not impressed with the story.
I know what I'm talking about, I started at right guard for the 1992 College Park Falcons.
And most of it is wrong
see my post below.
If this guy wants his stuff to stand out he has to stop quoting ESPN and actually look deep into the teams to find interesting things to write about.
Example:
49ers preview
ESPN: Alex Smith has to carry the team on his back, rar rar rar.
Me: Michael Crabtree has to continue to develop and become a reliable target on 3rd downs. The offensive line has to improve to at least below average (from 32 to 20) so the position players can make an impact.
Jimmy Raye must stop calling run plays up the middle 71% of the time.

There is so much wrong with this...
The NFC West has been the shame of the league, and possibly the weakest division in any sport.
BS, we’ve had 3 Superbowl appearances this decade.
The East in the NBA is worse.
Bradford has a huge task in front of him.
Nope, the Rams are doing everything they can to bring Bradford along at a steady pace.
They’re not putting pressure on him.
Bradford has virtually no targets
Also untrue. The Rams WRs are really underrated. Avery is a very good No.2 and Laurent Robinson needs to stay healthy because he has the talent to be a No.1. You should also know that the Rams have one of the fastest (if not THE fastest) WR groups in the NFL.
Second year coach Steve Spagnuolo is on the hot seat; I expect him to lose his job by their Week 9 bye-week if they aren’t able to win 2 games by then
No chance. They’re going to give him enough time to build that team. It takes more than 1.5 years to rebuild. It took the 49ers 5 years.
Carroll brought in his own coaching staff but will need to bring in more players if he wants to be successful in Seattle.
lol
Pete Carroll has had something like 110 player transactions since becoming HC of the Seahawks.
The Seahawks have a slew of RBs with Justin Forsett, Julius Jones, and Leon Washington (LenDale White was cut in May), who will all have the potential to create a real ground threat in Seattle.
Nah, none of those guys are actually good or proven. Leon Washington has never put up more than 650 rushing yards in a season, Forsett is not an “feature” back, and Julius Jones is a terrible RB.
They had 3 picks in the first round with Russell Okung, Earl Thomas, and Golden Tate.
Tate was a 2nd round pick.
The Cards entered the 2009 season with expectations but were barely able to sneak into a wildcard playoff spot with a 10-6 season record. They were able to beat the favorite Packers in a 51-45 thriller in OT in the wildcard playoff game
Wrong.
The Packers were the wildcard. The Cardinals hosted the game, so I seriously doubt the Cardinals were underdogs.
Matt Leinart, who still will have to battle in camp with veteran Derek Anderson for the starting job.
Not really.
Leinart is the starter. He has a short leash, but he’s the starter and it’s his job to lose.
The running game is below average with Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells, so a lot of the offense will have to come from the air.
As much as I hate to admit it, the Cardinal’s running game will not be below average.
Beanie Wells is a talented back and the Cardinals are preparing to build their offense around him (unless Leinart becomes Kurt Warner).
Gore will have to have stay healthy this season and rush for more yards this season to secure a spot in the playoffs.
You got the first part right. But Gore needs to see less than 250 carries this season. The team doesn’t need him to rush for 1500 yards to make the playoffs, they need him fresh.
If you read the whole thing I congratulate you and I’ll give you a funny link as a prize.
Enjoy.

there are a million grammatical errors, you said the cardinals were a wild card last year, and you predicted the seahawks to go 6-11, which isn’t possible.
not to mention you completely ignored the fact that the seahawks had their franchise left tackle and best pass rusher both retire this offseason. i guess left tackles and pass rushers dont make a big difference?
this was terrible. pardon my honesty.

I found out how the seahawks went 6-11
They lost a scrimmage against their own team and the league just gave them a loss.
Sorry if someone already pointed this out
But Golden Tate wasnt a 1st round draft pick.
Also I hardly think the Cardinals passing game is great this year. Fitz is of course amazing, Steve Breaston I respect as a reciever, but really hes not that good, and Early Doucet i dont think is good at all. If anything I think theyre running game gets significantly better, and passing significantly worse.
Errors
I read about 4 sentences and there were about 20 errors.

Punctuation and Grammar
These are very key elements in holding a reader’s attention. Without holding their attention successfully, they will move on to something else. It starts when you post this as a writer for a sports blog. You put yourself in a position for people to nitpick your writing style instead of your football knowledge, or lack thereof, depending on the reader. In this situation, the readers hold you to a higher standard, and therefore can not take your content serious due to the grammatical errors.
