But really...4 Game Winning streak to end season, sweep the saints and we get 21st. Meanwhile Saints don't do poo and get 15 or 16 (something like that). Just saying.

 

Trust me i totally get it. But from a media perspective we are a mediocre team that hasn't had back to back winning seasons and we are the king of 7-9.

What have the Taints done to deserve a high ranking? Or the Giants for a top 10? lol just throwing that out there. I understand that we are small market and all. Just throwin it out there

Qb's that have won a superbowl is why the get respect. When Cam wins us a superbowl this team could become a dumpster fire and we would still get the benefit of the doubt.

The saints have been playoff contenders for the past 3-4 year with Sean Payton and drew brees. Logic says it'll probably happen again now that he's back. If I was an outsider looking in, I'd rank the saints above the panthers.

Yes, it was hard for me to say that.

Hard to give us anything higher. Finished 7-9 and haven't done much of anything to improve the roster. The Star signing is essentially negated by the Gamble loss, and nothing we've done otherwise shows we're going to be an improved football team no matter how many panther fans want to act like ted ginn is going to solve our woes.

It's simply really hard to justify putting us any higher.

I swear I think your head would actualy explode if anything even close to a positive thought ever creeped into it.

 

You are a very well spoken individual and seem to do your homework on most topics.  But you are still one of the most pesimistic people I have ever seen.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
