They didn't actually do numerical rankings, but lumped everyone into 6 categories: Top Shelf, Next Level, Contenders, Not Sold, Searching for Mediocrity, Bottom Feeders. We get put in "Contenders" with San Fran, Atlanta, NYJ, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Cincinnati and Seattle.

Yea, other than Seattle and KC (and possibly Pittsburgh) I mostly agree with where everyone was put. Those three I'd probably bump down a notch each.

The only comment that mentioned the Panthers said if you combined the Panthers offense with the Seahawks defense you'd have a top-5 team, heh.

I mostly agree with this.

My only issue is Pittsburgh...I believe they are an 8-10 win team. They aren't the "elite" defense they use to be.

KC...meh they do have some serious talent on that roster with Cassel holding them back IMO.

I'm not saying Matt is an awful QB...he's just meh. He reminds me of Delhomme in his prime in a way, good but not great.

Plus playing in a division that is a huge question mark helps.

    • We beat Atlanta by 30 in the first meeting
    • The situation here was the doing of David Tepper.  Frank Reich didn't want Young, he wanted Stroud. Stroud fit his QB mold better than Young. So yeah, he didn't design an offense for him. He was lied to by his boss and he didn't want to be here. Would you? It sucks for Young, but as I said, that has nothing to do with his terrible footwork, poor mechanics, his shitty drop backs, fumble issues, not bothering to look off the Atlanta safety that turned into a pick 6 by his own admission. Those were all things that had nothing to do with Frank, the OL or the rest of the team.  And Houston wasn't a complete team. They had the 2nd pick in the draft because they sucked. They built a team and had a damn good HC that I wanted here but he refused Tepper's interview.  Young has been protected in ways no other QB has. Dalton has been kept because he has never been a threat to take the job from Young. We signed him to a 2 year deal this offseason when it was clearly evident we needed an upgrade. For 2m more per year we could have and should have looked at Brissett if we didn't go after Howell, Russell, Winston or anyone else. Anyone else other than Dalton would have been a serious risk to take Young's starting job. If Young hadn't been the 1st overall pick, and been a day 3 pick instead, he would have been cut as a rookie. If he were on any other team as a starter, this message board would be laughing like hell at whoever was starting him for 3 years. That's why this team gets murdered when Young doesn't play. He's been sheltered from ever having to worry about his job and the QB room proves it.  I've been extremely critical of how this team has been constructed the past 3 years, especially on offense. But this whole narrative that Bryce has always been good enough and it's everyone else's fault that he's not succeeding isn't matching up to what he's been putting on the field week in and week out. 
    • He sucks to be honest. He hasn't made much of a difference at all.
