We've made it to the bottom

Look at the teams that were ranked 32nd in the preseason power rankings the last few years and you will see a trend. Those teams all had terrible seasons that year...maybe we'll buck the trend though.

Could you list exactly where the last 6 or 7 teams ranked #32 in the "power rankings" ended up finishing in the final standings?

2021-Texans 4-13, 2020-Bengals 4-11-1, 2019-Jaguars 6-10

That's all I could find from ESPN. None of them finished 32 but none were very good

Yep, I doubt we finish last but there's a high probability we are picking  top 5 next year.

They had the Bengals 28th last year.

2020 the WFT was 31st and went to the playoffs.

It's nothing to get excited about other than it gives the downers something to cheer about.

How did the 32nd ranked teams do those years?

The media has caught up to what the huddle could see coming two years ago. Before last season they were on Teppers nuts because of his $.

Now after all the wanton destruction they can see what we were screaming about, now we have all reached consensus that this franchise is mismanaged.

The roster on paper has been good enough but chimpanzees are running things, flinging poo at the walls.

I don't think teams get put in the 32nd place in any power rankings out of spite. 

Honestly, it's kind of a "usual suspects" thing. The same three or four teams are usually at that spot: Detroit, Jacksonville, NY Jets, Houston, the Giants... We seem to have joined that club but something is making the list makers think all of those teams have made more strides to improve than we have.

The Huddle has largely gotten what it wanted in FA and the draft.  Two excellent FA linemen, a potential franchise LT at pick 6, a rookie QB with a chance to start, and it looks like Sam will probably be the starter, at least day one...so Rhule will sink or swim with Sam...at least at first.

For those hoping we crash and burn with Sam to fire Rhule and to get a high draft pick for a new QB, ESPN thinks we're well on our way.

I could give a rat-@ss about what ESPN gives us.  As far as I'm concerned ESPN is on the bottom of all sports broadcasting.  Hell the Bleacher Report is probably ahead of them.

Secondly, how are we 28th before Free Agency and now 32.  Makes no sense.  We've upgrade the O-line by leaps and bounds.  Drafted a possible franchise LT and got the best QB in the draft.  Yet we lose 4 spots.  Obviously ESPN didn't do their homework.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
