NFL Teams on the Rise for Future

Always interesting to see which teams seem to be on the rise each year. Sometimes its because of a new coach, new players, etc. Other times its a fluke and they cant seem to get over the hump in the future or have peaked.

Teams on the rise:
- Miami - Legit D, Tannehill seems like hes starting to figure it out... but the team goes where he goes. They do need a workhorse type of RB and another WR to go along with Jarvis Landry, Mike Wallace, and Charles Clay... specifically a big bodied WR thats a red zone threat.

- Buffalo - Stacked D. Seems like they finally found their coach in Marrone. QB is the big question mark though. Do they still think Manuel is the future at QB? Do they get a QB in the draft? But still have been a very competitive team this year despite being average at best at the QB spot.

- St. Louis - That D is big, fast, and mean. And extremely young and have depth. Their oldest starter on D is 29years old, Chris Long and Jo-Lonn Dunbar. Average age of their starters on D is 25. Their OL has improved, found a good young RB in Mason, and have some decent young WRs in Brian Quick, Stedman Bailey, and still have explosive Tavon Austin. The QB spot is the question. Sounds like Bradford will restructure his deal and will be back in St Louis for 1 more season because he knows he wont get a chance to start anywhere else. If he can be just a solid NFL QB, they would be a scary team.

- Minnesota Vikings - Finally have their coach. D is really good and Bridgewater has been impressive the last few weeks and looks like he can be a very solid NFL QB. They have some young guys with bright futures in the NFL. And I really like Jerick McKinnon

- Jacksonville Jags - At the bottom, only place to go is up. I do like their coach a lot and think he can get this team headed in the right direction. They had a solid D and were very competitive in a lot of games this year and have a lot of young players on O in Bortles, Lee, Denard Robinson, Storm Johnson, Allen Hurns, and Allen Robinson. Just need to keeping piecing it together bit by bit.

I also think the New York Giants are a much better team than they showed this year. They were decimated with injuries and it took a while for the offense to come together and for OBJ to get on the field. But the roster has talent, especially on D with Cullen Jenkins, Hankins, JPP, McClain, DRC, Antrell Rolle, Stevie Brown, Demps, Prince, and Hosley. Most of those guys missed a lot of the season due to injury. And if they can improve on the OL, they will be back in the thick of things.

Who else you got?
