The Cardinals have a smaller market and a tiny fanbase, yet they are still ranked 8th. The Colts have the 25th media market and are ranked 7th. We are ranked above Pitt, when we easily could switch with them. If they do what you are accusing them of, no way they put us above the Steelers or Baltimore that high. 

Also, to the Hill stuff, the issue is that it was only eight games. You gotta chill out and think of the sample size here. Can I ask you to rank the best WRs in the NFL? I expect OBJ to be easily the #1. 

What about CJ Anderson? Is he the #2 running back in the NFL? What happened to Doug Martin, or a Michael Clayton? Eight games is not large enough to just say Hill is the best back and will dominate the Bengals to the superbowlz!!! Take an objective look and remove your homer goggles for one second. I love Hill and think he is a great back, but I'm not even sure I expect 5+ YPC out of him. 

It's fair to have the Ravens ahead (though I disagree because I dislike Trestman vs. Kubiak, among other reasons) considering they only had a slightly worse record, trashed the Steelers in the playoffs, and looked great against the Pats, save for their 99th string secondary. They also have significantly better coaching and have proven to be a competitive team, even in their worst years. 

Their defense was also much better than ours last year. All three teams atop this division are close, but there are arguments to be made for or against all of them. Coming in and refusing to take an objective look at things while being stupidly stubborn is not the way to go about these debates. 

First comment.......  if Baltimore was smaller market than the Bengals, then how does Forbes have them as the 10th ranked franchise in the NFL in terms of money and how come they make so much more money than the Bengals?  (Bengals were 27th on the list.)

I never said Hill was the #1, but he's top 3 or top 5, and you make a good point about OBJ because I can't find any websites or experts that have him ranked outside the top 5 (this one has him at #2).  

Except for two games, CJ Anderson didn't put up anywhere near the stats that Hill did, and you have to look at running styles to see how impressive Hill is.

As far as Doug Martin, he was injured and only played 6 games his second year and then only 11 games last year, which was also his first year back from the 6 game, season-ending-injury season, but why didn't you mention that?  How can you compare that to someone who is unlikely to have the same thing happen to him?

The Ravens lost all those players, and not to mention Steve Smith is a year older, so isn't it stupid to have them ranked that high?  How do they not fall-off?

Our defense was crippled with injuries last year, not to mention that Atkins is supposedly looking like himself again, we have rookies that look to be solid, we have young corners that look to be stepping up, and we have MJ back, so how's that not looking at it objectively?
