They didn't actually do numerical rankings, but lumped everyone into 6 categories: Top Shelf, Next Level, Contenders, Not Sold, Searching for Mediocrity, Bottom Feeders. We get put in "Contenders" with San Fran, Atlanta, NYJ, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Cincinnati and Seattle.

Yea, other than Seattle and KC (and possibly Pittsburgh) I mostly agree with where everyone was put. Those three I'd probably bump down a notch each.

The only comment that mentioned the Panthers said if you combined the Panthers offense with the Seahawks defense you'd have a top-5 team, heh.

I mostly agree with this.

My only issue is Pittsburgh...I believe they are an 8-10 win team. They aren't the "elite" defense they use to be.

KC...meh they do have some serious talent on that roster with Cassel holding them back IMO.

I'm not saying Matt is an awful QB...he's just meh. He reminds me of Delhomme in his prime in a way, good but not great.

Plus playing in a division that is a huge question mark helps.

    • I mean, it's easy to say, "Morgan was Fitterer's right hand man, so he agreed with all the mistakes Fitterer made." Life and managerial structures don't necessarily work that way. GMs aren't perfect, and there are going to be hits and misses most every draft. Most would say that if you can get a couple of starters in a draft that you're doing pretty good. Even if X busts, there are still people in that draft, and an undrafted free agent, that look promising. JT looked pretty good yesterday. Calculate in the 2025 draft, which I think is fair, and I'm not going to complain. Where I think Dan has not gotten it right is overpaying a couple of free agents. and, sorry, I don't accept the "Panthers tax" argument because there is modest overpaying and gross overpaying.  I'm very much more critical of Dave Canales. He has to develop the talent that he is given. He also is responsible for his staff and personnel decision is on game days. I'm glad that he saw fit to get JT more involved yesterday. He gets zero credit for Hunter Renfrow, as should've never fired him in the first place, only to rehire him due to injury.  But Dan, I'd give another couple of years. 
    • Pass rushers are spot that outside of the drafts elite typically take 2-3 to develope and bro is tripping in 2 games... this team SUCKS no need to be so dramatic 
    • Learn to laugh more. The inevitable is on its way and if that was a high point for those people the there is lots more laughter ahead.
