Armed And Ready

You can make the case for Aaron Rodgers all you want, but Brees is the safest and most consistently productive option at the position.

2. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos: Ranked sixth in passing yards (4,659), third in touchdown passes (37), second in QB rating (105.8) and tied for first in completion percentage (68.6%) last season despite joining a new offense after spending close to two years away from the game. Age (37) and arm strength are definitely concerns, but the addition of high volume receiver Wes Welker could be the offseason transaction that puts this team—and quarterback—over the top.

Outside of Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers is probably the safest quarterback option on the board.

3. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers: Has posted a QB rating of 101.2 or higher in each of the previous four seasons, the last two of which consisted of 84 touchdown passes and just 14 interceptions.

Saints LB Victor Butler suffers torn ACL

THE ROAD TO SB XLVIII

From the opening kickoff to the Super Bowl, the best NFL action is on FOX. See the full NFL on FOX schedule.
The Saints defense suffered a major blow in their quest to lift themselves up from last place in the NFL.

New Saints linebacker Victor Butler's 2013 season appears to be done before it really started.

FOXSportsSouthwest.com sources confirm Butler tore his ACL during Tuesday's OTA session when he banged knees with running back Mark Ingram.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WAFB) -

Victor Butler was injured Tuesday after a collision with running back Mark Ingram.

Wednesday the Saints received the tough news that the linebacker reportedly tore an ACL and would likely spend the season on injured reserve.

After practice Tuesday, head coach Sean Payton was asked about Butler's injury and replied, "I think he is going to be fine actually, so we are fortunate."

Before signing with the Saints during the offseason, Butler played four years with the Dallas Cowboys. Last year he had his best year with the Cowboys making 25 tackles.

The linebacker played two years for Rob Ryan in Dallas and was a projected starter in the Saints new 3-4 defense.

Junior Galette, Martez Wilson, Will Smith and rookies Rufus Johnson and Chase Thomas are among the players who will now battle for Butler's spot.

2012 draft picks poised for breakouts

The hits were pretty substantial — Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck, Trent Richardson, Luke Kuechly, Chandler Jones, Doug Martin and so on.

But what do we make of the other members of last year’s rookie class, those guys who needed more than one season to really make their presences felt? Here are 10 members of the 2012 draft class who should be set for bigger things in 2013:

Coby Fleener, TE, Colts

Fleener did not have a bad rookie season, per se. It’s just that injuries limited him to 12 games, and fellow rookie tight end Dwayne Allen (taken 30 spots lower than Fleener in last year’s draft) lapped him with 45 receptions to Fleener’s 26. Indianapolis expects more out of its 2012 second-rounder, especially given his time with Andrew Luck at Stanford — Fleener caught 10 touchdown passes in his senior year.

Akiem Hicks, DT/DE, Saints

New Orleans’ switch to a 3-4 defense should play to Hicks’ benefit, following a rookie season in which he made zero starts and was inactive for the team’s final game.
