Don't know if this has been posted yet, thought I'd share it...

#5 in Wideout Rankings? (Ever heard of #89, shoot, what was his name again?)

#11 in QB ratings ?!?!?! (How quickly these guys forget about the play of Jake in the playoffs and Super Bowl. Behind Chad Pennington and Joe Flacco, are you kidding me?!?!? And only above Tavaris Jackson/Frerotte? You must be joking)

Just had to get this off my chest...

yeah #11 for QBs is just wrong, these rankings seem to be more about the scouting reports on the induvidual units rather than how these units work within the team

see how highly our DBs are rated? They are good induvidual players and very talented, we may have the best trio of CBs in the leauge, but they have been getting raped the last few games and shouldn't be rated so high when they secondary has been playing so poorly,

it's the opposite with jake, he deserves alot higher than 11, especially the playoff jake

Are the rankings based on stats, or on subjective analysis? If they are based on actual stats, then its easy to see why our QB and receiver rankings would be relatively low. We don't throw the ball a lot.

Our pass defense is actually pretty good statistically, but we have been run on a lot. Our fans keep harping on pass defense, but its our run defense that worries me. We really haven't stopped a decent running team in a while, and most of the teams we will be playing have run dominated offenses.

    • Yeah and Phil Snow has the second best defense in the league 😄 I'm reminded of 2015 where we used to build up huge leads in the first half just to wind up winning by less than a single score because our second half performance stunk. We built up some pretty good rushing stats over an early stretch in the year. Didn't really help us against the Saints though, or in some of our other losses. Hell, go back and look at past Super Bowl winners. Is it always the team that's ranked first in one category or another? After all, stat rankings always tell you who the best team is, right? 🤔
    • Didn’t say it does, Scot.  But as I pointed out earlier, most of the negativity in this thread is due to one of two reasons: 1) Guys that don’t want anyone competing with or taking the starting gig from their boy Bryce. or  2) Guys who dislike/hate Deion and Shedeur.     Again, statistically, there are no grounds to pick Bryce as a starter over another QB over the last three seasons.  And statistically, what Shedeur is doing as a rookie is impressive thus far, whether he was Deion’s son or not.  So if it’s not statistics and the eye test, then why are people so fired up about it?  The tells are there.
