Football is known as the ultimate team game. It's a sport where 11 parts must act as one to accomplish even the simplest task on every single snap. While that's a nice thought, it's a bit romanticized. Football is certainly more of a team-oriented game than the other major sports in North America, but one fact remains: You absolutely can't win...

If there's one player that will hold the Vikings back this year, it will be Jackson. They seem to have everything else you need to win, except for perhaps a proven No.1 WR.

Yeah, but Sidney Rice is tall and fast and was really starting to develop at the end of his rookie year. The kid's legit. Bernard Berrian should help the team stretch defenses. Jackson's play, especially deep will determine the direction of this franchise, but let's not forget they drafted John David Booty, who ran a version of the West Coast offense that Childress uses at USC. If Jackson can't be the oil for this machine, maybe booty gets some time under center after the bye.

With how effective the Vikings run game should be this year with Peterson, and having a veteran WR in Berrian, it's going to make it a lot easier for Jackson to have a breakout year.
