SI's Power rankings.........What a joke

Recommended Posts

I know the huddle likes to bitch and moan about being underrated in any and every meaningless power rankings, but I got no problem with this rant. This poo is absolutely ridiculous. What could the Saints possibly have done to warrant being put ahead of not just Carolina but Atlanta also? What are they basing any of this off of, the Saints blowout of the Raiders in the preseason?

I know, most preseasons are meaningless

...yet he has no problem basing his whole power rankings on preseason performance...where do they find these people?

what the hell is a power ranking anyway? as far as i'm concerned, power is determined by your W-L record. it's just another interesting list with "in-depth" comments to take up a page of a magazine and make the public buy it.

they can rank us 528th for all i care... i just want to see 1-0 this time next week.

Ok, so ESPN, SI, Bill Simmons, John Clayton, NFL.com, Mike and Mike, Colin, Football Today, and Vegas are against us. Instead of making a new thread everytime some no-name radio host says he thinks the eagles will win, just post it here. We get it, we're underdogs.

again, I dono why this is so shocking. all the national media see's is the Eagles who were in the championship game vs us and our dreadful playoff game. When most of america only watches u play twice a year and one time is a 5 Int, 1 Fumble, 30 point blowout at home......what do you expect? no suprise. let it go

Good rankings should consider preseason rankings and last season's teams. It seems these rankings did none of that, choosing only to base their rankings on the preseason.

Then again, it's been customary to proclaim the Saints as the best team in the South and a Super Bowl contender. It's not surprising they're doing it again, even after a season in which they went 8-8 with one of the league's best offenses.

OK there

we should ban these reactionary power ranking "no respect" threads

Mr Bull, Never once even mentioned no respect. I just thought we were more of a top 12 than a top 20 team. I really just was pointing out the fact the Saints once again seem to always be a preseason favorite. The ANALYSTS suck a lot of Saint D*CK:D

Forget the Panthers...they have the Saints and Packers ahead of the Colts....I think we should just ban the posting of power rankings altogether....they have no factual basis to them whatsoever

You know after thinking about it, you're right:patriot: I am guilty of posting this. Mods, Please lock.

Well, I saw this thread more as a "woah check out how insanely wrong these power rankings are" thread than a "OMguhd whyy do dey have us so looow?! wwaaahhhhh no respcect" thread.

...whatever though, you can read it however you'd like.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
