On February 5 in my hometown, a new Super Bowl champion was crowned, which officially marked the end of the 2011 season. The New York Football Giants proved that a team does not have to be the best in the regular season to be the best team in the post season. But have you wondered which division is the best? Maybe I am the only one who thought about, so I went through each division and compiled a list of who I felt were the best players at each position in their respective divisions based mostly on their regular season performances in 2011. The source I used for this list is mainly from NFL.com and my best objective judgment. This blog contain the NFC conference. Based on each division's starter roster, which division do you feel is the best?
