Wow, I never knew Morgan had 16 YPC.

All in all, I agree with the assessment. Balmer needs to get it going.

Nice read. It's about time something good comes from an ESPN writer. LOL.

I think Morgan will have a solid year.

Sando is the NFC West blogger for ESPN. He's done a great job of covering us and has been more than fair so far, IMO.

he seems to be in love with the seagulls though

While most of us agree on Morgan's analysis I think Chris Long has the most to prove considering how high he was drafted. Balmer will never get a lot attention or recognition because of his position even he play a lot better this year.

I agree with that quote, especially considering he was almost the 1st pick in the draft. Not sure how they picked Balmer ahead of Long? 3-4 ends compared to 4-3 ends should have a significant difference in statistics that columnists such as Mike Sando can "assess"
