You'd have to assume that if the 49ers decide to start Lance it would be because they view him in a similar league to Jimmy at this point in his development. Otherwise they'd just start Jimmy. Yep. And as I said before, it's done through the lens of QBR, which is still black boxed and doesn't make a damn lick of sense sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something to kill time when the off-season gets boring. To be honest, outside of the Raiders the Jets are probably the team I'm most excited to watch next season.

It really depends upon how you look at things. Barring significant injury/injuries, you can pretty much write the NFC North champ (Packers) in, the NFC South Champ in (Bucs) and at least write in 2 playoff teams for the NFC West (Rams and either the 49ers or Cardinals depending upon Lantz). I'd argue Dallas in the Top 5 is a major red flag given their inability to win one of the weakest divisions in football/advance with regularity past the 1st round of the playoffs. Sure, the AFC South is a super weak division/arguably the weakest in football that I've seen in quite some time, but both Indy and Tennessee are capable playoff contenders (and IMO weak division champs unless Matt Ryan finds a time machine), but the AFC West and AFC North are going to cannibalize one another. You have ARGUABLY the best team in the NFL in the AFC East with a tough New England team and an on paper improved Miami team as well...with the NY Jets who just had a good draft (I still think they Jets it up, but still). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Surprised Cinci represent the half way mark . As a little test, if they played, who would you pick to win? Close, I’d say. Cinci should be higher or Colts a bit lower, or a bit of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close, I’d say.

iloxygenil Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I feel like the Falcons are hard to predict in terms of points. The offensive line if we move Mayfield plus a mobile QB and having London as a new weapon makes me think 11 points UNDER NFL Average is quite a bit too far under.
