Also, and it happens every year but someone will come out of the blue and have a great season. Someone will fall on their face. Cinci surprised everyone by making the playoffs and the Eagles surprised many (not me) by finishing 3rd in the East.

Call me crazy but i have a feeling Seattle will be the surprise team on the up and Pittsburgh on the down. Maybe just for this year.

I think the Hawks will win the WEST and the 49ers will come back down from the mountain....

NFC North

NFC South

NFC East

The AFC is predictable. Especially the North and East. AFC south is the weakest and the west...well it's the west. Pats, Ravens, Steelers are always the top dogs. The AFC south will be won by the Texans now that Peyton is gone. The west is mediocre, even with Manning residing there now. I just don't buy that he's going to come in and be a 100% right away.

The AFCN is a tough DIV IMO, mainly because that DIV DEF is crazy. The worst team in the DIV was ranked 5th in PPG and 10th in YPG. The Browns, if we would've had the worse DEF in the AFCN, we would've went 12-4 at the least.

As evidenced the past few years the NFC East should be the toughest in the league. Every year they beat up on each other and drive down overall records. This last year the entire division was decided by 1 game. Next up would be the tough one, solely based on Tampa and Carolinas recent struggles and the Norths ability to beat the South I give them the nod.

The AFC is pretty cut and dry, East and North rule that conference.

Soooo.... Pretty much the North and the East out of both conferences.

PS: The NFC South will take over as the toughest in all of football all because of :cam:

For the same reason and from a Panthers point of view, the NFCSouth will be the easiest.

My surprise team next year is the Titans while my surprise drop team is Detroit. I just see a slight drop back from them like 8-8 to 9-7 drop from them while finishing 3rd in the division.

Based nothing on last years performance (and solely on next years potential), here is how I would rate the divisions:

NFC North: 3 potential playoff teams: Lions, Packers, Bears

AFC North: 3 potential playoff teams: Ravens, Bengals, Steelers

NFC East: 3 potential playoff teams: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

NFC South 3 potetntial playoff teams: Saints*, Falcons, Panthers

AFC East 2 potential playoff teams: Patriots, Bills

NFC West 2 potential playoff teams: 49ers, Seahawks

AFC West Division Winner playoff team only (toss up on who that will be, probably at a record of 8-8 or 9-7)

AFC South Division Winner playoff team only (Texans, if healthy, Titans if Texans are not)

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
