Best Young Offense in Madden 12?

[TeamBuilder]

Best young offense in terms of progressing through Franchise Mode. I'm thinking maybe the Lions? Chiefs might be up there as well. Opinions?

Lions
QB Matt Stafford
RB Jahvid Best
RB Mikel Leshoure
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Titus Young
TE Brandon Pettigrew

Chiefs
QB Matt Cassell
RB Jamaal Charles
RB/WR Dexter McCluster
WR Dwyane Bowe
WR Jonathan Baldwin
TE Tony Moeacki

Under the starters at WR and TE the Ravens have some young talent.

QB Joe Flacco
HB Ray Rice
TE Ed Dickson
TE Dennis Pitta
WR Torrey Smith
WR Tandon Doss
WR David Reed

I'd expect Pitta, Smith, Doss and Reed to be the B potential players with Dickson, Rice and Flacco as A potential. I think they need another HB with home run potential.

The Lions are younger than the Chiefs. I think Bowe/Charles is comparable to Best/Johnson Madden potential wise. It might come down to Stafford being younger as the tiebreaker.

I think the Packers are just as young and better/deeper than the Chiefs. I added years experience for comparison(quicker than ages with my source.)

Packers
QB Aaron Rodgers 7
RB Ryan Grant 5
RB James Starks 1
RB Alex Green 0 UNF
WR James Jones 5
WR Jordy Nelson 4
WR Randall Cobb 0 2nd rounder that set SEC record for all purpose yrds
WR Greg Jennings 6
TE Jemicheal Finley 4

Unproven, but high potential, is the Vikings:

QB - Ponder
RB - AP
RB - Gerhart
WR - Rice (though may leave in Free Agency)
WR - Harvin
TE - Shiancoe (very solid)

Overall, though, I would agree with the Lions/Chiefs as probably being the Top 2.

Hmm, I suppose I can nominate my 49ers too after giving it more thought:

QB - Kaepernick
RB - Gore (admittedly, on his way out in a few years)
RB - Kendall Hunter
WR - Crabtree
TE - Vernon Davis (still young and a top gamebreaking TE)

Titans

QB Jake Locker
HB Chris Johnson
WR Kenny Britt (Thank God there are no suspensions in Madden)
WR's Damian Williams I suspect will be very good and Marc Mariani is a Special Teams beast
TE Jared Cook

what about the bucs? freeman,mike williams,lagarrett blount,k2

Bucs definitely have a strong young offense and defense a few key young defensive players as well. Freeman is a monster and they have two solid young recievers. Secondary needs work though.
