I'll be rating all the elements of the teams, hopefully, if I can get some feedback to help me adjust them better. Of course, things change as pre's wears on, so these aren't final #'s.
In this rating the qb has to show the usual stats, but i also put extra weight on int's and leadership, he can also gain a extra respect if he can scramble, and more if he can run. The extra running dimension can really help a team, and looks like the new ultimate profile for a qb.
1st colts. Manning the qb of the era.
2 eagles. Seems high but Mcnabb showed all the stuff, including their whole running game.
3 Pakers. Farve reeled in his ints last year, but still has noone to throw to. Can Bubba Franks catch? Best leadership.
4 Niners. Never thought I'd say it, but Garcia is excellent, and ran for big yardage last year to boot.
5 Broncos. When healthy griese is so smooth, incredibly low td/int ratio. Needs more strength.
6 raidas. Getting old but Gannon one gritty sob.
7 Vikes. Whats the rocket armed 270 full back/qb going to do next? The penultimate new breed. Culpepper, should be some kind of food.
8 Rams. Warners ints up last year, and not much of a history to depend on. Can't scramble, can't run, that great oline and wr/rb sure made him look good. # could be dropping soon, but completed 67% of his passes last year, phenominal.
9 Jags. Brunell another one with flaws, can't run, poor judgement, but still a fine one.
10 pats. Used to hate this pussy bledsoe, but last year when he was taking all the sacks, and running with the ball cause he had no rb, at the same time throwing the lowest ints of his career with no wr. Well, what's not to like? Could be moving up a couple more #s.
11 giants. Based more on what collins is gonna do than what he's done. After withstanding the fires of his youth, and the blaze of the ravens sb defense, the future is bright indeed.
12 Bucs. Brad ain't bad, not a savior, but good arm, getting to the tail end of it.
13 Saints. Brooks, Blake, they both played great and bring different things to the table, blake the long arm and brooks the scrambler playmaker, but potential to move down.
14 raven. Maybe Grbac is better than this #, his ratings put him 8th in the league. Ready to move him up if he shows me some leadership.
15 titans. he can run some, and he can throw some, but still very innacurate downfield, and slow reader. not air mcnair in my book. poor td/int ratio.
16 bills. By the stats Johnson is average, by the intangables, this # could plunge.
17 Chiefs. Didn't think green looked especially thrilling in his games last year, but could easily move ahead a few spaces.
18 Browns. A reach for me but one thing I really like about couch that shows me he is maturing and will be great, is his high competion %, at 63.7, he's 3rd in the league.
19 Phins. Had the fiddler rated a lot lower til I saw him in pre's, he's got the off season training going and the arm is back. Great judgement and leadership
20 skins. A rocket arm, but the poorest leadership skills.
21 Chargers. Flutie has some big problems, most of which is he's losing his arm, if he shows he's losing his foot speed he's done, because besides his excellent playmaking/leadership, his running ability is best in the league. Can he keep it up at 38?
22 Jets. Vinnie is getting old and without the parcells influence his ints were way up last year (back to normal). Reminding me of Marino after his achilles.
23 Lions. Batch is solid when healthy, and was on big offseason conditioning program.
24 Falcons. Old, lazy, injured, and bad attitude, supposedly rededicated in offseason, but wait til that oline gives him another concussion or 2. Chandler should retire.
25 Bears. Surely I must be off here. Mathews made the starter, and Miller still in the fight as his hammy gets better, while Mcnown hasn't hit the wr's in stride. This # could drop if a poor pre's dogfight develops.
26 Steelers. how did he get so highly rated (look below)? If pre-s keeps going to form, it may be another qb I'm rating.
27 seahawks. This # could rise ALOT, as Hasselbeck has torn up some preseasons. Lets see how he does with the first stringers.
28. Cardinals. Plummer needs an oline, got one, a running game, got one, healthy wrs, got some, and some confidence back, getting some, or will wind up like the majic man Don Majikowski (how about that one from the nfl highlight reel?).
29. Panthers. Cause I'm running out of #'s. Weinke may start, but doubtful, Lewis the man for now.
30 Bengals. Akili Smith keeps getting the support of management over Kitna. My feel is he shouldn't be in uniform, and testament to the terrible front office of the bengals.
31 Cowboys. Why last? Banks released yesterday, but quincy Carter is hot (yea sure). Even aikman and manning had gut rocking poor first 8 games.
