He should benefit from getting to work with Calvin Ridley.

But I’m feeling more and more like this is a team that should be faded.Ĩ - Jacksonville Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence got better as the season went along last year and he might make another leap from Year 2 to Year 3. There’s still enough talent here to give them some benefit of the doubt, especially in a relatively weak NFC. They’re assuming Brock Purdy will be great after a small sample size … and they might turn to Sam Darnold of all people if he doesn’t work out. They traded their quarterback of the future for pennies on the dollar. Nick Bosa is in jeopardy of missing games as he holds out. They’ve been unable to stop whining about getting beat by the Eagles in the NFC championship Game. Rodgers might very well come up short in the playoffs yet again but the Jets will be a formidable regular season team.ħ - San Francisco 49ers - The 49ers have really bad vibes, man.
#Seahawks mitchell schwartz upgrade#
Even if he’s not THAT guy anymore, he’s still a massive upgrade over Zach Wilson and whoever else the Jets were trotting out under center last year. I’m not among those ready to write him off. But maybe Mike McCarthy taking over play-calling duties from a scapegoated Kellen Moore turns out to be a downgrade.Ħ - New York Jets - Aaron Rodgers was a back-to-back MVP prior to last season. One could argue the Cowboys should be division favorites by virtue of playing in an NFC East that hasn’t seen a repeat winner since 2004. Unless the 30-year-old is simply a declining player at this point, he’s due for some positive regression in the turnover department. 1 seed in the AFC.ĥ - Dallas Cowboys - Dak Prescott’s 3.8% interception rate last year was easily the worst of his career. They lost just three regular season games … one on the road against a division rival by two points, one on the road against a division rival by three points, and one in overtime by three points. They finished second in point differential last year. The Bengals also have one of the NFL’s best defensive coordinators in Lou Anarumo.Ĥ - Buffalo Bills - The Bills might be underrated? They’re the number one team ranked by DVOA entering 2023. And he’s obviously proven he can led his team to victory over Mahomes.

Led by a relentless Jalen Hurts, the best quarterback in the NFC, the Eagles do seem up for the massive challenge in front of them.ģ - Cincinnati Bengals - While Mahomes is the most intimidating quarterback to go up against, a healthy Joe Burrow isn’t far behind. It’s an exhausting journey that usually doesn’t prove to be fruitful only two Super Bowl losers have gone on to win the big game the very next year. That said, there will be even more pressure on Patrick Mahomes to carry his squad with Travis Kelce getting banged up and Chris Jones holding out.Ģ - Philadelphia Eagles - After falling just short of ultimate glory, the Birds have to the climb the mountain back to the Super Bowl all over again. Having the best player at the most important position in all of sports is a pretty big deal. BLG’S WEEK 1 NFL POWER RANKINGSġ - Kansas City Chiefs - The reigning Super Bowl champions typically get the benefit of the doubt in my Week 1 rankings.
