3rd Annual NFLDC Power Rankings

nobodyinparticular · 08-24-2007, 06:44 PM

Alright, here we are with a couple weeks left before the season starts and we are set to start the NFLDC Power Rankings for a 3rd time. As always, we will go from the bottom to top--#32 to #1.

These power rankings are set by you, the fan on NFLDC. You vote for the team you believe is worst in the pool and the team with the most votes will "win" the spot and we will move on. In some cases, when there is a clear difference between the #2 and the rest of the field, the team that comes in 2nd place in the poll will also be awarded the next spot. Depending on who quickly we get these polls filled up, we will probably be using this rule a lot since we are starting so late in the exhibition season.

Finally, a couple things to mention before you click "Submit" on your poll choice:

1. We can't have every team up as a poll choice and not everyone is going to agree on which team goes where, so just vote for the available team that you think is the worst.

2. It's difficult, I know, but don't let your personal biases cloud your judgment. I know you Cowboy fans hate your rivals, but in all honesty, Philadelphia, Washington and New York do not make up the bottom three teams in the league.

So let's roll!!

*EDIT* I totally forgot Atlanta. They are officially a write-in option. If you think they will be the worst, make a post saying so.

May the homer fest begin!!!

Sorry Texans' fans, but Matt Schaub is not the answer... You are the weakest link.

Sorry, it was before the poll was up. Now it is there...

I can guess that every Cowboys fan will vote for the Browns.

Ah, understood.

I'm torn right now. I honestly don't know who to pick myself... Obviously you have the Raiders as an option, but I also have real problems with the Dolphins, Browns and Cardinals. I really don't like Minnesota's situation either.

nobodyinparticular · 08-24-2007, 06:57 PM

I'm loving the option to make it a public poll too. Something we've been missing the last two years with things like this.

The Unseen · 08-24-2007, 06:58 PM

I voted Dolphins. The Raiders were also in my thought process.

The reason why I won't vote for either of those teams is because they have pretty good defenses. Won't win them a lot, but at least some.

yodapoop · 08-24-2007, 07:03 PM

My choice is the Browns. Brady Quinn came in two weeks late, and he is in better position to start more than Frye and Anderson. And I don't think Quinn is the answer. Cowboys will have the #1 pick. Yuck.

nobodyinparticular · 08-24-2007, 07:03 PM

Ok, I think I'm going to go with the Vikings. I say this only because it is so terribly rare for a team to repeat #1 overall. I also think that when Frye/Anderson falter, Quinn will step in and win a couple games to bring the Browns back to a 3-5 draft position. The Cardinals just get by because of the biggest upgrade to their offensive line being Russ Grimms and I think Schaub and company will do at least mediocre this year. Miami is in a really tough situation. I don't think Green will last and I don't think Beck will do well this year. My personal bottom 5 I think will go:

(from worst to not so bad)
Minnesota
Oakland
Miami
Cleveland
Arizona
I also don't think any teams will have more than 12 losses this year. I think Minny will get about 4 wins, Oakland will get around 4-5 wins and Miami, Cleveland, Arizona and Houston will be in the 5-6 range..

Shiver · 08-24-2007, 07:04 PM

I voted Miami. They have a horrible offensive line, receivers who cannot catch, a 37 year old QB with a scrambled brain and a defense that smacks of last year's Buccaneers' dropoff.

I could have sworn John Beck was only 33 or 34.

Oh that was harsh. But funny.

I say forget about them for this round. Maybe 1 or 2 people will think they are the worst. If you really want to add them, get rid of the Cardinals. They will consistently muster at least 5-6 wins with that offense of theirs.

We all know they are at least #20 with the monster that is Joey Harrington.

No KC or Giants?

I was close to putting KC on there. They're in the mix in the next couple rounds.

I know this is homerish, but this is also the truth. If someone thinks that the Giants are the worst team in the league... Then they are just being stupid.
