NFL Breakout Stars for 2007

Matt Schaub is a great fit for Gary Kubiak's offense and should immediately bolster a unit that has been spinning its wheels for years.

i would say that Schaub should not be as high on the list. We really havent seen enough of him to warrant "breaking out". i would move Cutler up, he has started 5 games and played pretty well and is in his second year with Denver.

Broncos cut Preston Parson, which was the biggest mistake they could have made. He would have been a perfect back up to Jay. Ramsey is so inconsistant that if Jay get hurt, the Broncos are done for the year. Unless of course they call Preston back up.

Thomlinson should really have a breakout season for San Diego. Think people are finally starting to notice he's a true star in the making....
