(pre) Rank the 2019 NFC teams in 4 tiers

[Lumps]

Little bored. So how would you guys rank the NFC this year?

I’d say:

Tier 1: Rams, Saints and Bears

2: Seahawks, Eagles, Cowboys

3: Panthers , Vikings, Falcons, Packers, Redskins

4: Giants, 49ers, Lions, Cardinals, Buccs

I think the Packers, 49ers and Cardinals can be the big surprises/wildcards as well as the Panthers. They all have a lot of unknowns that could be great or very bad.

Wouldn't put any of the three you have in tier two above the panthers.

Atlanta above Carolina?

Dakota Prescott didnt get across midfield till the 3rd quarter against us and we were a missed field goal away from being Seattle even with a one armed Cam. Ive been pessimistic about this team ever since Super Bowl 50 but I swear if Cam is healthy ill take our roster over anyone in the league no BS. Still wish we would get a damn safety though

Alright list going into the season.  Probably on par with what a lot of predictions will be.  

Of course, most people thought the Bears were a 4-6 win team last year, so inevitably there will be surprises.

I would swap the 49ers and the Redskins.  If Garrapolo is healthy, the Niners have a pretty solid roster.  The Redskins have a good defense on paper but the uncertainty with Haskins being a rookie, the LT sitting out, not great WR would concern me.

I think any of the Tier 3 and up teams can make the playoffs, and it's not out of the realm of possibility a Tier 4 team will.  It's what makes the NFL fun.  There will probably be a Tier 1 or Tier 2 team that falls hard, too.  The Bears would have been a Tier 4 team going into last year.  I think they are the most likely Tier 1 team to drastically decrease from last year.

1: Panthers-Bears-Vikings-Saints

I agree. I think they may have a Super Bowl hangover and it will be the 3rd year of having tape on their Head Coach. Hopefully we get that win game 1

Major question marks for the Panthers. 

3-4 defense?

Cams shoulder?

Stars align and both work out, it's a playoff year.

One doesn't work out, losing season likely.

Tier 1(Proven entities that SHOULDN'T have a drop off from being elite): Rams, Saints

Tier 2(Could ascend to elite, could be mediocre): Panthers, Bears, Packers, Vikings, Eagles, Cowboys, Seahawks, Falcons

Tier 3(Mediocre to bad): 49ers, Cardinals, Bucs, Lions, Redskins, Giants,

We should be bottom tier 1 or first of tier 2. If u don't put Packers in at least tier 2 ur crazy. No way bears are a tier 1 team and they will not make the playoffs this year.

If this was a "place" finish, then I'd obviously have to move some things around.  I totally think the Panthers will be on par (equal tier) with the Saints this year.  It's going to be a couple deciding factors that determines who actually finishes first and second in the NFCS.
