The more I think about it, the more I think that this could be a comeback year for Steve McNair. Many people forget that it was just two years ago that Steve McNair and Peyton Manning were the co-MVP's for the NFL.

In mini-camps McNair has looked better than ever and is zipping the ball as well as he has in a long time. He has trimmed down, is quicker, and feels that he is healthy enough and feeling well enough to last the entire season. With Drew Bennett, an almost healthy Tyrone Calico, and some young and physically talented rookie WRs: Brandon Jones, Roydell Williams, and Courtney Roby, this is a young WR corps, but with potential to be good. Roby and Jones were third round picks this year and Williams was selected in the fourth round. These three rookies have already had a lot of experience and success with McNair as Bennett and Calico both missed the last min-camp.  Furthermore, McNair had only good things to say about them, especially Jones. I think Jones will emerge as the third receiver and the best of the rookie trio. Then at tight end, McNair has Erron Kinney and last year's top pick, Ben Troupe, on hand.  I believe Troupe will make a big impact and surprise many this year. While McNair loses his old offensive coordinator, he might arguably get a better and more liked one in Norm Chow. Chow was the mastermind behind the USC Trojans national championships. He is considered a football genius in many circles and one of the best play callers in the game.

With all of this said, there are still some things that fantasy owners will worry about in regard to McNair this year.  Namely his injury history, missing a lot of the season last year, and the loss of former number one receiver Derrick Mason. These are legitimate worries to have, but I expect McNair to return to form and back to arguably being a top ten quarterback.
