So it's going to take an opposing QB and offense that can put up points (assuming our O is clicking) to beat us.
So, my take worst to first:
14. BROWNS - what a cluster **** Who knows who the starter will be? I'm just gonna guess K. Pickett but none of the other half dozen fill me with fear.
13. VIKINGS - J.J. McCarthy There's articles out there claiming he's going to light up the NFL this season. He's going to have to show me.
12 STEELERS - Another cluster. Is Rodgers going there? if he actually does they move up a bit. But Rodgers is old and a giant head case so not a lot, in my book. Otherwise M. Rudolph and that isn't a lot either.
11. PATRIOTS - D. Maye Hard to say what he is or isn't yet?
10. JETS - J. Fields I know he was handicapped in Chicago but still his ability to lift a team to the 30 point scoring even with Wilson, umm....
9. CARDINALS - K. Murray, his high TD total is 26 in 2020 and he's just never really proven he's much above average.
8. BEARS - C. Williams Had some decent games last year but nothing that screams he'll beat your ass.
7. BRONCOS - Bo Nix Overall really good season last year but I'm just hesitant to rank a guy with one year under his belt very high.
6. PACKERS - J. Love The media has been in love with him at times. I'm not convinced yet that he's a true game changer
5. DOLPHINS - T. Tagovailoa Has just been all over the map. Looks like a great one for 3 or 4 games then hits the wall a game or two. But when they're clicking he's a tough out.
4.JAGS - T. Lawrence Same as Tua
3. LIONS - J. Goff veteran QB who can beat you
2. RAVENS - L. Jackson wins regular season games galore then folds like a pup tent in playoffs
1. BILLS - Josh Allen needs nothing said
We play the Browns and Steelers twice of course so that should be at least 3 wins. Ravens, Bills, and Lions are only teams with true upper tier QB's in my book. There's 3-5 teams in the middle with bubble QB's.
I'd say we're a 12 win team based on QB's we're facing
This a solid post - but I would put Lawrence much lower - he is pretty anemic at QB
