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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
