Franchise Quarterback

Courtesy of NFL The wait is almost over. Football is coming back.  We are just over one month away from regular season football games, and with that, it is an appropriate time to see where all 32 teams stack up ahead of a new season. The offseason chronicled yet another spring of mass roster shuffling, headlined by Trevor Lawrence going to the Jaguars, Matt Stafford and Jared Goff swapping teams, and Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson still learning how to adjust to the New Jersey traffic.  Now that the dust has settled, let's see who sits as the bottom feeders, the ascending playoff hopefuls, and the true Super Bowl favorites.  You will inevitably disagree with most of my rankings, probably because they are scarily accurate, and you are ill-prepared for my hard-hitting, objective analysis. Send any grievances to @thesamdecoste on Twitter. Praise is also welcome if you have any to spare.  32. Houston Texans The Houston Texans hold the unenviable 32nd position in the...

Courtesy of USA Today Sports The second season has arrived. The dust has settled on the NFL regular season, and the  playoffs are upon us. The 2020 postseason marks the first iteration of the NFL playoffs to include 14 teams, an expansion of the previous format. This year's slate features some familiar faces like the Chiefs, Packers, Saints, Ravens, and Seahawks. But long-lasting playoff droughts were snapped in 2020, and the Browns and Buccaneers are making their first appearances in the playoffs in generations.   If your team is in the playoffs, congratulations, and gear up for an exciting postseason. If your team was eliminated, my dearest grievances for you, but don't fret, the draft will be here before you know it. In this postseason edition of the power rankings, I will rank each of the 14 playoff teams based on their roster, coaching, regular season record, and probability of making it to the Super Bowl. These power rankings will tell you in order from 14 to 1...

Courtesy of CBS Sports Written by Sam DeCoste In a time without sports, the NFL came and saved us. One of the most captivating offseasons wrapped up last week following the first ever virtual NFL Draft, following an entertaining free agency period. Joe Burrow was selected first overall, DeAndre Hopkins was traded, Tom Brady is a Buccaneer, and Roger Goodell humanized himself as the commissionner! This offseason will go down as one the most memorable for the blockbuster moves, the virtual draft, the stars switching teams, and for its ability to distract us and win our hearts during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Before the NFL schedule is released later this week, it's time to rank all 32 NFL teams. It's time to see who are the bottom feeders, who is rising up, and who are the true championship players.  Where does your team rank going into the summer? 32. Jacksonville Jaguars The Jaguars shipped out just about every notable name from the 2017 tea...
