The draft is done and players have reported to camp. There is little doubt that we are indeed about to witness a season like no other. Already, 2004 is a season being referred to as the ‘Year of The Quarterback’.

But hey, why not? The highly touted arms of the class of ’04 include: Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger and Losman. Each is already very respected and very accomplished in their own right.

But wait, there are so many other questions being asked around town right now. Here are a few of our favorites for you to think about and discuss around the water cooler or your favorite watering hole with your buddies.

Will the older Manning finally win a ring? Will the Patriots step in his way to take another Vince Lombardi trophy? Will the Eagles with Terrell Owens step up and finally meet their destiny? Will the Vikings’ Culpepper and Moss turn it around? What will happen in the Raider Nation? Will Favre carry the Pack again this year? What about The JETS, JETS, JETS? Who will start in Dallas - Testaverde or Carter? Can Chucky fire up Tampa Bay again? Can McNair lead them to Grace-land? Will the Chargers break the Quarterback curse? What will the Rams do without Warner? How will the Lewis situation affect the Ravens? Will Joe Gibbs take the team all the way? Will Wannstedt last the season in Miami? What about the Texans – will they become a force? How long until Roethlisberger proves he should have been the number one pick? Will the McGahee experiment work in Buffalo? Will Tom Coughlin bring the glory days back to the Meadowlands? What the heck will San Fran do this season? The mistake by the lake – what is going to happen there? Will Holmgren finally take the Seahawks past the first round? Can Michael Vick stay healthy for Atlanta? Will the Saints go marching in? Will Priest lead the Chiefs to the Holy Grail? Will Plumber lead Denver to the Super Bowl or the Toilet Bowl? Can the Bengals improve on last year’s success with Carson Palmer at the helm? Will the Bears regain form in the Windy City this year? Will Emmitt Smith continue his run on the record books? Can Coach Fox and the Panthers duplicate last year’s success? Will Brian Leftwich prove he was the right man to keep in Jacksonville? And finally, will the Lions win a game on the road this year?

We will not have answers to these and many other questions until the season is well under way, but like you, we sure are excited to get the season rolling. Don’t forget to check out our weekly recaps and reviews all season long both from our newsletters and on the BetUS.com website. We look forward to a great year with you!
