(pre) Rank the 2019 NFC teams in 4 tiers

Recommended Posts

Little bored. So how would you guys rank the NFC this year?

I’d say:

Tier 1: Rams, Saints and Bears

2: Seahawks, Eagles, Cowboys

3: Panthers , Vikings, Falcons, Packers, Redskins

4: Giants, 49ers, Lions, Cardinals, Buccs

I think the Packers, 49ers and Cardinals can be the big surprises/wildcards as well as the Panthers. They all have a lot of unknowns that could be great or very bad.

Sooooo much kool aid.

Dakota Prescott didnt get across midfield till the 3rd quarter against us and we were a missed field goal away from being Seattle even with a one armed Cam. Ive been pessimistic about this team ever since Super Bowl 50 but I swear if Cam is healthy ill take our roster over anyone in the league no BS. Still wish we would get a damn safety though

Alright list going into the season.  Probably on par with what a lot of predictions will be.  

Of course, most people thought the Bears were a 4-6 win team last year, so inevitably there will be surprises.

I would swap the 49ers and the Redskins.  If Garrapolo is healthy, the Niners have a pretty solid roster.  The Redskins have a good defense on paper but the uncertainty with Haskins being a rookie, the LT sitting out, not great WR would concern me.

I think any of the Tier 3 and up teams can make the playoffs, and it's not out of the realm of possibility a Tier 4 team will.  It's what makes the NFL fun.  There will probably be a Tier 1 or Tier 2 team that falls hard, too.  The Bears would have been a Tier 4 team going into last year.  I think they are the most likely Tier 1 team to drastically decrease from last year.

Rams are going to SUCK.

1: Panthers-Bears-Vikings-Saints

2: Eagles-Falcons-Packers-Cowboys-Seahawks

I agree. I think they may have a Super Bowl hangover and it will be the 3rd year of having tape on their Head Coach. Hopefully we get that win game 1

Tier 1(Proven entities that SHOULDN'T have a drop off from being elite): Rams, Saints

Tier 2(Could ascend to elite, could be mediocre): Panthers, Bears, Packers, Vikings, Eagles, Cowboys, Seahawks, Falcons

Tier 3(Mediocre to bad): 49ers, Cardinals, Bucs, Lions, Redskins, Giants,

If this was a "place" finish, then I'd obviously have to move some things around.  I totally think the Panthers will be on par (equal tier) with the Saints this year.  It's going to be a couple deciding factors that determines who actually finishes first and second in the NFCS.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
