Rate the Position - bfine32 - 07-09-2015
Your boy bfine works hard during the “dead period” to keep the boards interesting and a place folks like to visit (Just completed All-Board team). So around this time of year. I’ve always said bump the experts and the Message Board will rate our own team by position compared to the rest of the NFL (SIRIUS NFL is currently doing a series).
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to link previous year’s results, as I have done in the past. So we will have to start anew. One of the complaints (there is always folks that do) is that we cannot do this until TC rolls around. Believe me the other media sources are doing it during this time of year and when TC rolls around there will be a thousand other things to talk about.
WTS, I am going to submit a proposed Depth chart (ESPN. I did adjust the #2 TE). If there are any huge discrepancies feel free to voice your opinion here and we will iron it out before we start the process. We are only doing starters or guys used in heavy rotation (RB, 3rd WR, 2nd TE, Nickleback).
QB- ANDY DALTON
RB- JEREMY HILL/ GIO BERNARD

Hopefully we can start with the QB this weekend. That should generate some “discussion”.
RE: Rate the Position - djs7685 - 07-09-2015
What has been the latest word on Burfict?
Are you doing projected starters to begin the year or projected starters assuming the whole roster is healthy?

We will go under the assumption that all are healthy.

CB i say is our Strongest Position and OT's being the deepest...

In that case, I can't really see any reason to hold off on starting for much longer. There aren't many spots that are even debatable as to who would be starting assuming the whole team is healthy.
Hawk at LB? Dennard at CB? The only couple that I can think of would pretty much be random guesses more than anything.

Are we rating the individual starting position groups against all of the NFL?
So, if the Seahawks CBs rank 1, I would rank the Bengals accordingly?
Or, is this ranking the position groups from strongest to weakest just against the other position groups inside the Bengals?
If he's doing it the same as from the old boards, it will be comparing our guys to the others around the league as in your first example.
He lists every player for each other team in the thread too so you don't have to go out hunting for every player on each team if you are unsure.
Bfine does a great job with these. It's always a very fun set of threads.

It will be how we stack up against the rest of the NFL and there will be "ranking windows" and they will expand/contract based on National Opinion for polling.
For instance if we were doing RB. The poll might look like:
Where do you rank Hill and Gio?
1
2-3
4-5
5-10
11-20
21-32
If we were doing WRs. The poll might look like:
Where do you rank AJ, marvin, Mo?
1-5
6-10
10-15
16-25
26-32

RB- JEREMY HILL/ GIO BERNARD 5
FB- RYAN HEWITT 1
WR- AJ GREEN, MARVIN JONES, MO SANU 6
TE- TYLER EIFERT, TYLER KROFT 23 - Unproven, but talent is there.
C- RUSSELL BODINE 22 - Did just ok as a rookie, expecting more this year.
OG- KEVIN ZEITLER, CLINT BOLING 11
OT- ANDREW WHITWORTH, ANDRE SMITH 3
DE- CARLOS DUNLAP, MICHAEL JOHNSON 8 - Benefit from rebounding Atkins and expanded rotation. These two will be fresh all game.
DT- GENO ATKINS, DOMATA PEKO 5 - Atkins rebounds, so Peko benefits.
LBs- VONTAZE BURFICT, REY MAUALUGA, MANNY LAMUR 20 - Don't see Burfict being back to battery yet, so just can't rate this unit all that high. If Maualuga gets hurt, this group drops to 30.
CBs- DRE KIRKPATRICK, ADAM JONES, LEON HALL 5 - But I expect Dennard to be on the field quite a bit, so there's depth and quality here. Hall will be the slot corner.
S- REGGIE NELSON, GEORGE ILOKA 5 - Together these two play at a high level.
Our secondary was very good last year, so I rated them as a group.

I would say definitely Dennard at CB. The way Marv pimped him last year...at some point this year, maybe sooner than later, it's going to be DreK and Dennard.
Didn't it take an injury for Burfict to finally hit the starting lineup? It shouldn't take that for Dennard if he's ready and TC/PreSeason will tell the tale. If he's ready, stop the favortism/veteran shit and get the most talented guys on the field.

WHOA!! Calm down dudes. This will be a poll, like the "all" team. He will start off with, like he said, QB and give the options and the starters from other teams...then you choose where each position group rates (in your mind).

I'm sorry. I was too psyched from reading this article and watching this AD probowl clip.

- Best offensive weapons in football? CHECK
- Defensive rules put in place to inflate offensive production? CHECK
- Postseason game? CHECK
- Throw a wounded duck to the corner of the end zone from the 20? CHECK
Sounds like it's Dalton's time to get BOOED OUT OF THE FREAKNG PROBOWL after going 9 of 20 for a passer rating of 54 and having the worst throw possible at the the end of the game.

LBs- VONTAZE BURFICT, REY MAUALUGA, MANNY LAMUR 20- Issues covering backs and TEs

S- REGGIE NELSON, GEORGE ILOKA 10- Depth is an issue, but George has come on strong here. I hope Reggie can keep up his level of play. He was been a real find.
