You should've said "Excluding Andrew Luck".

Cause considering the fact that he touches the ball every play & if he's not doing well, we probably won't Win.

But aside from Luck, I'll go with Fleener. He's back in his old offense so I expect him to be that Impact Player & Live up to that 2nd Round Pick

I'll go for Fleener as he has the lowest ceiling to hit as an improvement from his rookie season.I'd be interested to see how Whalen (if he makes roster) and Chapman do. 

 

With the addition of Pep Hamilton  & familiarity of his offense I would agree .

I'm really look forward to seeing Chapman on the field & I do expect much more from Ballard & Allen in the new offense with a better o-line .

I believe ty will make an impact and eclipse 1000 yards

 

It will be interesting to see his role in the new offense, I like him in the slot but worry about his toughness there, but then again  he's not as tall as I would like to play split outside. 

 

Hopefully establishing a decent run game will open up the PA roll out and beat them over the top type of play. The sort the Texans killed us with a few times last season!

Allen because of the WCO.  Hilton if he continues to improve upon the flashes he showed last year.

 

If what he showed us last year was mere flashes then he's going to be a beast next season by your reckoning. 861 yards in your rookie season when most you expected him to be not a lot more than a return specialist. 

 

I'll take it :P

 Our Rookies played well because they are good and i expect them to repeat and improve their good play. Don`t expect them to separate from one another.

 We must improve in the Red Zone, and Fleenor is the best choice to help us make a jump in there. If we can just get Andrew to throw him the **** ball! :td:

Well....   if it's ALL rookies, then the runaway answer should be Luck.   As great as he was last year, when put in the proper system, he'll be dramatically better.   And the WCO suits him far better than the Arians scheme.   So,  this Andrew Luck, with a better system and better personnel should be much, much better.   I've said over and over,  some of you won't even recognize him.   I still have my concerns.   And it may not be the kind of improvement this year that we all want,  but I still think Luck should make a big leap this year.

 

Next, for me would be Fleener.   A big disappointment as a rookie, I expect him to a level of determination that will lift his game...  that and the new system should spell a big 2nd year for Coby.

 

Next, Chapman.   A healthy Josh Chapman should excel.  But, it's going to be his first year.   Chapman in 2014 should be much better.

 

Next,  Ballard.   A new o-Line and a new scheme that should suit him, should mean a very good 2nd year for him.

 

Next,  Hilton and Brazill.    Year two means a good jump.  That plus new system, plus much better Andrew Luck should add up to much better years for both.

 

Finally....   a flier or two.....   Grigson has talked up Palmer,  now let's see what the fuss is about.   And last,  Anderson.  I'd like to see him about 15-20 pounds lighter...  I think Grigs had long range plans for the kid...   lets see if his hunch pays off....

I would say Chapman but I agree with others here that he doesn't really count for this because he hasn't really had a first year to compare it to against.

 

I would say Fleener is the next likely person.  I say that because frankly for guys like Allen, Ballard, Luck, and Hilton it's going to be hard to do MUCH better than they did last year.  Don't get me wrong of course they can improve and get better but they had such great rookie years it's going to be hard for them to have a huge jump in performance their second year.  With Fleener whose average rookie year looks disappointing when compared to the other four rookies on offense that had great rookie season there is a lot more room for improvement.  I think going to an offense that is at least based off the west coast offense will help him as well.  Also, he now has his OC from college calling the shots.  I know people expected big things from last year because he had Luck but the truth is Fleener didn't really look fully comfortable in the offense which tells me he was struggling to pick up Arians offense.  I think being reunited with a guy who got great production out of him at Stanford and a guy's whose offense is at least going to look a little like Stanford's offense will help him.  I think he could have a big coming out party next year.

Fleener will have a big impact this year.

 

I agree.  Fleener was a disappointment to me.  With his relationship with Luck, you would have thought he would have made more big plays.  I think Fleener needs to bring his game up if he's going to become one of those elite receiving TEs.
