In light of all the negative crap this week, hopefully here are some positive nuggets going into week 3.

 

According to fivethirtyeight.com, an ESPN affiliate, Carolina has the 5th best ranking for all teams through week 3.

Carolina is simulated to win 10.7 games (3rd best)

67% Chance to win the Division (Best in NFL)

77% to make the playoffs (2nd Best)

9% change to win the Super Bowl (3rd Best)

I hope that this trend continues through the course of the year then we will be in good shape. #KEEPPOUNDING

ELO is a really comprehensive guide for rankings. It's similar to the system that's used in competitive chess, and it's what all of the major competitive video games use to calculate ladder rankings. 

 

It measure strength of opponent by using things like, winning against a higher ranked opponent gives you more points, losing against a lower ranking team gives you negative points, for example. It's really hard to use on a team-based game, though, because the system really is (usually) to determine individual rankings.

Thanks Ruff. It was late and I couldn't find how to explain it

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
