The big question surrounding Josh Freeman is whether we'll see the 2010 or 2011 version of him this year. If it is the 2010 version, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be a sleeper candidate to win the NFC South. However, if it is the 2011 version, it is going to be a long season for Tampa Bay.
What should ultimately decide what type of year Freeman has is the chemistry he has with Vincent Jackson and the play of rookie running back Doug Martin. As long as Freeman and Jackson are on the same page and Martin can consistently move the ball on the ground, it should be a successful year for the fourth-year quarterback.
I'm predicting that both of these requirements are met and Freeman has a fantastic bounce-back season for the Buccaneers.
