Power Rankings

Hey y'all! I dropped my most recent power rankings on the Touchdown Wire and thought you might be happy where Carolina lands. Yes I am a bit of a homer, but I try to be at least somewhat critical.

I'd agree with the Panthers ranking, though I think by the end of the year they'll be top 15. I think Atlanta is better than the Bucs and Detroit is better than Minnesota. A few other quibbles, but overall, a good list.

I  like all of it... except the jets placement. I'm just not a believer.

Weird seeing teams like the phins and jags up so high, but the league is churning.

I'm not a Jets believer, either.  I would also have the Falcons ahead of the Bucs, but we are probably splitting hairs.

Not for nothing, but the Lions write up says they will carry their energy over to the 2024 season.  Given their history, that may be true as an outlook for 2023, who knows?

AR keeps getting heralded as the Jets savior, but I don't see it. He's almost 40, hasn't thrown for over 300 yards in a game since '21 week 14, and is a temper tantrum away from wrecking the locker room. They better hope he can win the division, because as good as the AFC is, they could miss out on a wildcard if he's JAG.

Yes the Vikings kinda gutted their team. They cut/traded s lot of starters

Yeah, the two big problems with that ranking, the Jets themselves and Rodgers. I expect it to be the amount of hype the cowboys typically get with the same results.

    • Fair, sure.  Still not worthy of the #1 pick and still has major issues.  And you absolutely have to be concerned that for bryce to make a nfl caliber throw the conditions have to be optimal around him.  And those sacks around the 10 minute mark are just brutal to watch.
    • But his arm wasn't destroyed due to his throwing motion, it was from essentially two hits / injuries.  Tackle to prevent a pick 6 due to a lazy Benjamin route in 2016.  That was the start of having to be on a pitch count in practice.  2018 TJ Watt hit after Cam had already adjusted his mechanics and was having his best year statistically speaking, although I remember even that year questioning if he can still sling it deep. 
    • Arm elasticity and arm strength are not the same thing.  There are some who have great arm strength but can't deliver off platform throws, sidearm, etc,  due to lack of elasticity.  I am concerned about Bryce's arm strength to deliver the ball when the anticipation throws aren't there and you simply need to fire a ball into a tight window.  Not sure that can ever be part of this game.  He does have good arm elasticity which is what made him special in college, throwing the ball on the move, that should serve him well in the NFL especially when he gets outside of the pocket.  My biggest concern is standing in the pocket, pressure in the face and not being able to set his feet will affect him more than others due to his height and arm strength.
