ESPN Power Rankings Week 1


Gazi

Recommended Posts

No problem with where we're ranked. We've got a lot of weaknesses(having a game like that from Newton and still losing proves that), but the Colts not being ranked #32 is a damn joke. They have a pathetically bad defense, the worst starting QB in the league, and a clueless head coach. They might as well let Peyton do the coaching from the sideline because he has more talent/creativity in his pinky than Jim Caldwell.

No one should expect a ton of movement from pre-season to week 1 power rankings. The thing about Week 1 is while some teams look awful and some look great, you don't want to read too much into anything either way just yet.

I understand that but to low ball the Bills all the while ranking the Cards at 16 smacks of cluelessness.

Yeah thats right, cluelessness:p

But the Cards moved up 5 spots by beating the so called "worst" team in the league by 7 points.

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
