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.

    • But that's just an opinion essentially based upon three games---basically nothing.  As for "great" career, that's in the eye of the beholder. I'd say that if he becomes a starter or even a high end backup, that may not be great, but it would be good. If he ends up a long term starter, then that is pretty great. But I could argue that less than a dozen QBs have had "great" careers for the last 50 years. It's just a matter of definition. There are certainly a number of QBs drafted higher than Sanders and with much higher expectations that have ended up as backups or out of the league altogether. If he has any kind of staying power, he's already overachieved according to many.   
    • So...yeah, the snark and whataboutism really just works as a dodge here.  So again, I'll lay it out one last time....are you actually willing to argue for the sake of arguing the Saints RBs in 2025 are better than ours?   and their OL?  Is that what you are doing here.  
    • I think outside noise was a MASSIVE factor.  Teams don't want it.  And it gets really hard to have it for anyone that isn't your star player.   I do think for example, if Skip Bayless didn't exist and that circus....NFL teams would have loved the utility player/locker room presence of a The Golden Calf of Bristol after he flamed out as a starting QB.  Same thing.  But he basically was deemed unsignable because a Taysom Hill role player can't be taking up the air waves/oxygen ,  press conferences and be a national spectacle every single day for a coach/staff to deal with.  I mean, Saunders is literally a walking reality TV show
