Going to climb out on a limb here and say that the o-line is going to be great midway through the year. Spitz, Sitton and Barbre will give the line the beef they need to get those tough yards and by midway they will be cohesive and fluid.
I expect Collins to just not be able to handle the load in this defense. I think Smith is going to push him and by mid year will be the catalyst for Ted to either let Collins walk or not offer him the contract he wants.

yeesh nobody gives collins any love on any of the packer boards.
breakout player - 2nd year running (and i did predict it last year on that 'other' site) Nick Collins I stuck by his side when people were calling for him to be replaced by Aaron Rouse, and he made a huge year, I think he can do it again.
major flop - chad clifton, last year he started showing his age and this year he finally shows he can't play at a high level anymore.

Pacdoty if thats true about Jackson then I will put Deshawn Wynn on the list, if the kid has his head on straight he has the most potential out of the bunch, great vision every time he touches the ball he always seems to find the hole, good speed and is the best blocker out of bunch. I see Green Bay carrying four runningbacks into the season especially if Lumpkin has a preseason like he did last year and Wynn can finally live up to his potential after two years of maturing from the person he was in Gainsville. Sutton on the PS along with four of our other recievers like Heckendorf, Simmons, Jake Allen and possibly Brett Swain but if he beats out Ruvell Green Bay then will most likely go with three recievers and then the nod probaly goes to CB Joe Porter who is going to be another player that is going to be hard to stash on the PS. Sorry about going completly off topic just some thoughts.

I agree Crox. For some reason there are more Collins doubters than believers. Same thing with Barnett.

Hold outs almost always flop, so Collins, with that criteria, is an easy pick. I too think that Harris will show both his age and uncomfortableness covering in a zone. So he gets the flop too.
Charles Woodson continues to prove TT was a genius by signing him when he did for what he did...breaking out even more than last year. Since you can't really call great year by Woodson a breakout I will choose James Jones as my break out guy. He went through a season with an injury for the first time in his life last year...He will now be healthy and ready to prove himself!! Jordy already has the upper hand for the number three spot, but JJ should push to win that spot and eventually be the number two guy when Driver hangs it up. Jennings will also continue to build on a great 2008 campaign.
I am thinking the running game will be better by more contributions by both B Jax and Grant...

I think it could be Finley from what I'm hearing. I don't think he will be the starter, but you started to see some of the things he could do in the last couple of games last year. I think there is a chance that he could make a leap and get double digit snaps this year on a regular basis and make some plays downfield in the passing game.

Lee, Finley, and then the battle for number 3 TE. Looks like either, Humphrys, or the very big 6'6" Moore.

I think Finley could be the break-out guy. It will be interesting to see if his feet and hands (and brain) can work as well as mouth and shoulders (from all the shrugging) because if they do, he's really going to be something. The kid has monster talent. It just drips off of him.
On defense, I'm guessing Jeremy Thompson. That's just a wild guess, but the reports from him at the OTAs were intriguing.
Flops? I think the safety corps as a unit is dicey. If Tramon Williams steps up, Woodson may be moved inside. On offense, I worry about the running game and not because of the offensive line. Our line isn't great, but we simply don't have a top-drawer running back and that makes the offensive line look worse than it is.
