Some teams will be affected much more than others with a full blown lockout. There are seven teams with a head coaching change. The Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, and San Francisco 49ers more then have their work cut out for them. With the lockout in effect, these teams are not allowed to even open a playbook to work with the players.
The Broncos, Vikings, Raiders and 49ers also have some turmoil in the quarterback position that will have no time to be addressed. The Broncos have Tim Tebow, a 2nd year QB trying to find his place in the NFL with a potential future of greatness. If Tebow missed an entire offseason, he would be hard pressed to start when the season did get underway. A prolonged shutdown could leave the 49ers with no options at quarterback heading into the season. Re-signing Alex Smith could be the only move for them, and he has proven unreliable at best. The Vikings, of course, lost Favre. The Raiders haven’t been consistent at QB in years.
ESPN has posted some great articles on the effect it will have on the teams.
