Who do you think will win the hottest division in football, which was the most lopsided last season?

[T3hRaven]

I have a hard time calling the NFC West the hottest division in football. They have seemingly developed solid defenses, but problems on most of those teams remain. There is a lack of talent at the QB position throughout the whole division, which will hurt them in the playoffs. My money is still on the 49ers though. They are the most complete team in the division.

They have 15 combined wins, which is 3 higher than any other division; no team is under .500. Every team except the Rams is .667: only 5 other teams are greater than or equal to it. While it's true that all 4 of their offenses are inconsistent, they are all capable of bursting out at the best of times. Brady is 0-2 against this division. Every defense and special teams unit is stellar, too.

It's really hard to argue against the seahawks, they aren't overly talented but find ways to win. wilson has shown moments of brilliance so far

Then vote for them! This is election season, remember, every vote counts!

Still think 49ers.

Still think 49ers.

Why, you think their competition is too inconsistent/inexperienced?

[JO_75]

I picked Seattle in the Pre-Season as my NFC West Champion because of their defense and I'm sticking to it. The 49ers have come back down to earth, I can't trust Kolb or Skelton to stay healthy for Arizona, the Rams may be able to do something but I doubt it. Seattle is the only consistent team in the NFC West.

49ers.

Most talented team by far, with the best defense.

[Ravens<3]

I just think they're better than every other team in every single category. (In that division of course). Offense,Defense,Special Teams.

Than I'd say Seattle,St Louis, Arizona. It's tough though, all teams have been impressive so far.

I voted for the Seahawks. The way this season is going, they will silently win the division and playoff berth.

[flaccopoe]

I think I'm gonna change my vote because of Kolb's injury!

I really like the 49ers, but some consistency on their part would be nice.

All that matters is the records. They went to a 7-9 team winning the division a couple years back to having 3 playoff contenders completely overnight. But yeah, the QBs aren't great. Sam Bradford has yet to live up to his #1 overall pick bar, Alex Smith is not much more than a game manager, Russel Wilson is an inconsistent rookie who could be a good player in a few years, and then of course you have Arizona.

The Seahawks are now 0-3 in the division after failing to score a TD in yesterday's 13-6 loss to the 49ers! Looks like the sun is coming out in foggy San Fran!

I have no idea what to make of Bradford, and it bugs the hell out of me. I really liked him coming out of college, I know he hasn't had the best recievers, but he's got more than others (Tanehill, Weeden, etc) and I just cannot decide what to think of him in the NFL, which as I say bugs me, since I take a lot of satisfaction from judging QBs. Kolb/Skelton just makes me chuckle, and I agree Smith is a fairly average QB, but his attitude pushes him a little higher for me, I think he's handled being an afterthought in SFs success, the media criticism, and the Manning thing really well. I personally like Wilson, and it makes me laugh how NFL analyists are so bipolar, one article claims Wilson as a gem of this rookie class and an important part of a great team, the next makes a case to bench him for Flynn.

[flaccopoe]

Not to sound condescending, but the QB of the Seattle Seahawks is Russell Wilson, not Russel Wilson.

Just to set the record straight after seeing numerous people misspelling his name.

49ers

[harfordravenfan]

Gotta go with the majority & say 49ers: as mentioned before, they seem to be the most balanced team & a solid defense. Can't see them losing the division or the other teams all staying above 500

[poedacrow]

Well if the Seahawks had receivers that could catch or block (that would be you Golden Tate) I'd be inclined to lean towards the 'Hawks. The Wilson kid looks to be a gamer, Marshawn Lynch is a solid RB and they've got a couple of huge CB that can lock down a passing game but as harfordravenfan stated, the Niners are a better balanced team.

Niners should win the division and will be bounced from the playoffs by a team with a better QB at the helm.

[flaccopoe]

I think we can scratch AZ off the division contention list! They're Oline is in shambles, allowing 7 sacks! Skelton isn't the greatest QB to begin with and things won't get much better once Kolb returns.
