The Glorious NFL as we know it.

The offseason in the NFL is awesome. There are so many stories and so much anticipation leading up the combine and the draft, and then when the OTA's start rolling around in the summer, excitement once again hits an all-time high. The best thing about the NFL, unlike other sports, is that each season, every team feels like it has a shot to win it all. A team's offseason could mean the difference between missing the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl.

So without further ado, here is my list of every NFL team (listed in alphabetical order and split up into two posts due to the sheer size of each post), and what they need to address this offseason to be successful in this coming 2012 season:

The Reign of Aaron Rodgers

This 2011 NFL season has been nothing but exciting and captivating from the very start. In a season full of interesting storylines, the story of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, in my opinion, has been the most intriguing of all. 

Apart from the overhype and overanalyzed play of Tim Tebow, the injury to Peyton Manning, and the pretty damn good play of Drew Brees and Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers’ ascension to the top of the quarterback totem pole has got to be the most exciting quarterback story of the year, and lets face it, folks: love it or hate it, the NFL is a league about quarterbacks. What is so thrilling about Aaron Rodgers, especially for fans of the game (not purely fans of particular teams), is that I honestly believe we could be witnessing the very best quarterback of all time play right before our eyes, in the prime of his career. I realize that what I’m implying might be ludicrous to some, especially for a guy who has only been a starter for 4 seasons, but there is just something about watching him play that gives me that feeling, and no matter how many counter arguments I make to myself, I can’t shake it.
