Ranking all 32 offenses, including every position group - NFL - ESPN

LOL @ these rankings. I won't get into it too much but when you rank AZ's Rec as below average, your rankings have gone off the rails. AZ had the 12th best offense last season with possibly the worst OL in the NFL. They drastically improved the OL & added 2 speed guys to the WR group & a few good TE(s) & the are expected to regress?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Seattle QB 4? Wide receiver 10? WTF? lol. That's a bit generous. QB I would put them around 7-8 and WR bottom 16 for sure. Harvin needs to prove he can stay healthy and Richardson hasn't proven anything yet. I get Wilson just won a SBOWL but 4th best QB in the league? No.

They got O-Line and RB fairly spot on but would probably rank their RB 6 or so.

 

[LambeauLegs]

It will be shown that the Packer O line and receivers are a bit underrated here.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Seahawks offense is overrated as hell according to these rankings. Shit I wish we were that good. We have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. I'd bump the offensive line way down, WRs down, HB up, QB a little bit down.

All you can do is laugh.

Flacco got way too much credit after their SB win too. Part of the spoils of winning it.

Wouldn't have RB down at 8 either so some of it balances out? The OL down at 21 at least shows they know they aren't average or above. Not a total fumble.

 

[Ramsfan95]

Holy shit. These are horrific.

 

[ONEPANTHERSFAN]

Preseason Rankings (on anything) are not quite as useful as screen doors on a submarine.

 

[TxHeat]

ESPN..that's all you need to now.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

My team is way underrated and will prove so this season. We added X and Y, and lost Z but Z was a bad fit and will regress in his new team.

My rivals team is way overrated. A is a system player and B will regress back to below average now that people have seen him. C is overrated and had lucky matchups last year.

Lol at these rankings.

 

[jarntt]

Wow. With their defenses, If Sea is 6 and SF 7 i guess everyone else can stay home this year...

 

[Clayton]

Miami is 18th in oline?
There are 7 running backs better than Lynch?
Tavon Austin is already a bust?

 

[Mondio]

I looked at the first 3 and decided they weren't even getting into.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Seattle QB-4, New England QB-5..... Drops nuclear bomb on absurd thread.....

2) Denver Broncos
QB - 1 (HQ); RB - 29 (PR); REC - 4 (HQ); OL - 3 (HQ)

Denver kills it except for RB

I think that will change as the season progresses. Problem right now is they have a bunch of unknowns. None of them have even started a game. I look at how RB's though have done with Manning in the past and I think they will put up some good numbers. They run against the lightest boxes in the NFL so if a RB can't succeed in a Manning offense then they really have no business in the NFL in my opinion.

I am actually a little more surprised by the REC being ranked 4th considering the only player we lost was Decker and he was considered the 4th option in the offense anyway and was replaced by Sanders and Latimer. Also a little surprised the OL is ranked that high considering the last time we saw them they were getting used and abused in the Super Bowl. I know they have added an All-Pro LT in Clady back from injury but I don't think he would be enough to cover up how bad all of them looked in the Super Bowl. I like the chances of them to be great but seems a bit premature to be ranking them that high.

I agree with you on the receiving corp and have them at no#1. Ball should be a good back and put up some yardage, and your right with the D's going light in the box, vs a team like Minn that relies on AP and usually 8 in the box for him.

 

[BloodType49]

people actually pay for this crap ???

 

[Scooby-Doo]

There's 23 teams with better receivers than Floyd and Fitzgerald as the starting 2. Uh ok.
