It's all in how you word it.

I find it a bit amusing that Atlanta will have the hardest schedule (T-1st) and New Orleans and Tampa Bay have the 4th and 5th ranked schedules respectively.  Of course that has a lot to do with how many games we won this past year.

The idea of strength of schedule is neat,  but moot at the end of the day.  There is so much turnover year to year in the NFL. Everyone has a chance to be good and change that SoS. 

Look what our record did to theNFC South. 

Absolutely. In an attempt to get a true SoS, one would need to factor out all the games the team in question has played. The reason for doing this is a winning team is downgraded for each of its victories and a losing team is upgraded for its defeats. Then you have to factor out all the division games played by the AFC and NFC division a team faces. These will automatically be .500 regardless and act as a buffer. If a team is on the high side of .500 this pulls their SoS down while teams below .500 get an automatic boost for factoring in an entire division's divisional games.

SoS is for media/writers and should never be taken seriously. Too many flaws in that metric.

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
