Did you hear my reasoning at least? The Packers are easily a top 5 roster seeing what they have done this season and last. The Vikings in Week 5 didn't play very good outside of defense.

@@StraightAMain ok but vikings at 13? your bias is showing and these power rankings aren't reflecting what's actually happening in the nfl my dawg

@@bennettstein3906 It's just the matter of me not fully committing to the trust in them. Remember when the world thought the Saints were top 10 4 weeks ago? Things change quickly, but I stayed firm on my rules, and it worked out. I'm not saying they aren't playing top 10 football, I'm saying that's where their projected standing based on this season and last year's standings

For the record, this list is before Week 5 games. Tampa WHACKED the Eagles before this week. Colts haven't really sucked all around, but I get the sentiment so I won't push there. The Jags were 0-4 as of the making of this video. Dolphins with Tua are damn good, right now they are struggling. I think a major problem is you are going into the video with knowledge I didn't have in Week 5 games

I appreciate the feedback! The Power Rankings are meant to be an overtime gauge of how good the team is and not jumping to overall conclusions. At the end of the day, from where the Vikings and 49ers were last year and what each team has shown this year, their placings are appropriate. Though with the Vikings winning this week, they are certainly showcasing the conversation is getting closer.

It's hard to fix the years that Sam Darnold has been viewed as mid with 4 weeks of good performances. So I apologize I didn't jump to conclusions that they are a top 5 team in the NFL. If we are talking about records or how good a team is week-to-week, I 100% agree that they should be top 3. But I just don't rank based on purely week-to-week

@@StraightAMain then you arent doing power rankings right

My apologies, I didn’t know there was only 1 way to do power rankings. Would you mind providing the logic and reasoning on how Power Rankings work? I’ve seen it done in many different ways. I figured mine was just fine since I don’t jump to conclusions like many people would. The saints come to mind as a team people placed in the top 10, but they quickly proved they weren’t that.

@@StraightAMain i mean going forward how about you assess power rankings by the percent chance that each team will win the super bowl, thats a bit less subjective and better info than 'this is how i feel about teams rn and i'm putting vikings at 13 and packers at 5 lol'

THEY GOT THEIR FLOWERS

Ehhhhhh!! Big Win Tonight!

@@StraightAMain We got it done ✔️ 🙌, glad we held it together for 60 minutes !! 💪 Keep growing your channel, I'm a subscriber, I like what you are doing.

Dominate Performance for Sure, Gotta get back into that Playoff Revenge Form! I appreciate it big time man, Always trying and grinding!

Hey it's all about conversations, hit me with your thoughts!

@@StraightAMain I think the Rams WR and DL grades were a bit low. Jordan Whittington had a great preseason, so I think the Rams sneakily have one of the best WR rooms in the league. As for DL, it’s hard to gauge without AD, but if Kobie Turner performs like he did last year I think they’ll be fine.

I appreciate the critique, is there something specific that I can improve on? Always trying to be better.

Nothing but Ws here, especially the GOATs themselves

My apologies man, I just naturally speak fast in a lot of cases when I get going, I’m trying to slow it down to be a bit more clear😂 Thank you for letting me know!

Honestly, such a valid critique. In the future, I'm going to plan a lot better if I planned on staying within my constraints. Luckily, it probably only affected the Commanders and 49ers with receivers. Everything else is pretty damn close to what I think. I should've bit the bullet and gave Aiyuk realistically 800ish yards, Kittle 900ish, and Deebo over a 1,000. That's a bit more accurate. It is possible that Jennings, Thomas, and Pearsall do get a surprising number of yards, but not enough for that math to work. Seriously appreciate the Criticism, helps me be better!

Honestly so fair, it's my Dad's NFC team, so I gotta give them some crap! Probably a little too much in practice.

I’m not sure what the issue is… I accessed my videos from a couple different accounts and everything is operating normally. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@@StraightAMain Problem over, it plays now. Before the screen would go black with that spinning "wait for it" arrow & not play. Lasted over 5 minutes fs.

HONESTLY! A Clutch moment for sure man.

Yeah with only 2 QBs, I really thought about who those could be. I knew for a fact Hurts did, but the earliest of the other threw me off. Crazy though that Allen really didn't come up as a real possibility.

That's definitely not untrue. It just feels so weird since every year y'all are default 9-8 because... Steeler things XD So it doesn't feel like a big leap even though it definitely feels great!

Honestly so fair, Brandin Cooks might be my Roman Empire

Thanks Bro! The Crew is coming back together soon enough! It'll be good to catch up. Done and Done: ua-cam.com/video/AzVk4JAMm94/v-deo.html

While I hear you, you can’t necessarily go by ESPN rosters (as I’ve learned) this team isn’t changing all that much. If you think the additions to the O-Line make that much of an improvement from last year AND help carry the team, I just can’t agree. We haven’t seen this team produce and while there may be promise, it just isn’t enough. If the team had Barkley and moved on from Jones, I would agree with you. The Giants could very well go more than 3, but not by much. I just think 4 teams have the potential to go 3 or less, and I chose the Giants and Panthers

But I really appreciate the thought! I died on the hill last year that the Giants would end 7-10, and I just can’t do it again

@@StraightAMain Thanks for constructive conversation. But to continue on the shown roster, I don't think Gray will make it to 53 man roster. He couldn't block at all last year and I think the coaching staff soured on him. The rookie Tracy and UDFA Dante Miller have flashed in training camp and I wouldn't be surprised if they went ahead if Gray. Also, we just signed Van Roten from LV so projected line is Thomas-Runyan-JMA-Van Roten-Eluemunor. That should be average in league so by far the best DJ has ever had

@@StraightAMain Fair enough. It's all projections at this point and we just have to wait and see. And I concede the point, the team has been trash for the past decade so that will remain until proven otherwise

Hey of course man! That’s the best part of Football, the conversations of what result is actually going to end up happening. I’m professional football, where everyone is a pro, anything can happen! When you bring up some of the players, this could be an exciting development year for them. Though I do live by the rule of giving them a year to strut their stuff.

That’s fair! we just haven’t seen Daniel Jones at a level where I can confidently say he’s a great Quarterback. I hope he does well, I like new talent, but I just don’t know if I can confidently say he’ll do well with what we’ve seen and the team around him.

You are Damn Right!

@@StraightAMain yes sir woohoo 🎉🏈💪

You know, that's actually pretty valid XD

I think they will be easily around the same level. The Raiders schedule is just so freaking difficult even if they manage to perform well.

The Raiders have some Really High-End Talent that is gonna make an impact on the NFL followed by a lot of holes in their roster that haven't been filled. They're gonna make a lot of highlight reel plays but probably not win many games. Wilkins & Crosby should make it hard for most QBs to get a good night's sleep the night before though & that isn't hyperbole. Either one is a concern on their own. This itself might make their defense seem way better than it is. You think Bo Nix is ready for that?

That would be a story!

Mahomes affects how we rate All Other QBs. C.J. Stroud affects that we now see AOC's Typical Rookie Season as indications of a bust or at least Below Average QB. Nothing in it says bust though. To be fair nothing in it says he's the next Peyton Manning. As someone who doesn't need to have a preconceived idea, I say "can't tell yet." His numbers were All Better than Will Levis' but people question Levis' talent less. That's more to do with physical attractiveness than talent.

Man I swear it! The most obvious answers sitting right there! XD

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!

I have seen the chart before, and I am aware of his past performances. He has thrown for 4,100 for the last 2 seasons and is capable of throwing 400 more yards in a given season. Granted, the passing TDs are generous, but that's the great thing about predictions, they are my educated guesses. If you don't think he's going to do it, great, but it's definitely possibly. I could make safe guesses for every team, but that would make for a boring video. I recognize it's possible he's a bust, so hopefully you can recognize that this prediction is also just as likely to happen. Thanks for the comment!

@@StraightAMain Okay, just wondering aloud. I liked this & the way Yt works, comments help you out. There's a study in social psychology hidden in how we perceive them differently, but that barely interests me in *this* context. If/when I get to your breakdowns about Justin Fields whose highlights look better than Caleb Williams _AND_ Trevor Lawrence's I'll whine about how closely you stick to the popular consensus or not. Because _that_ (the consensus on Fields) is _TOTAL_ BS.

That's fair! I'll probably focus on Russ more than Fields since he's the projected starter. But also, I do think Fields will end up with the job. Hopefully he gets the opportunity, I like the guy.

@@StraightAMain Well, my take on the whole of what happened in CHI is one I know most people will hate, but I have reason for it. Remember the whole Mac Jones fiasco? Imagine if Bellichick had responded to finding out Jones was seeking advice outside of the Pats With Silence. We'd all know Jones' days were numbered, right? Fields *publicly called out his Own **_Coaches_** after week 7 in '22.* Know how they responded? with Dead Silence. So they were telling us as early as mid-'22 that they had already made up their minds to move on from Fields. They didn't even reprimand him? The HC wasn't the Least Bit Curious that one of his coaches was potentially responsible for messing up communications with the QB he is supposedly being tasked to win with, that his job supposedly depends upon working with? The owner didn't care that either his QB or coaches were throwing away his $? The GM whose entire career could be haunted by making the mistake of trading him didn't care at all that a mere coach he could have fired was setting his career up for failure? That implies they had made up their minds *from the beginning* to move on from Fields. One of those people was his Main Play-caller. We know this because 1) Eberflus boasted about deciding what plays to limit the offense to, 2) always talked about what He Thought Fields needed to change, 3) tried to shut up reporters for weeks with chop-wave motions of his hand like a Dad threatening to strike his own children when they kept asking him about those bizarre plays where Fields would stop himself throwing to wide-open receivers. Right from the beginning, even Fields' haters knew this was a coaching call. They said "The Bears _had to do this_ in order to simplify the offense for him." You know, because Fields can't read defenses. Everybody knows _that,_ right? ua-cam.com/video/QuhUbISnr8s/v-deo.html. Oops. That's Brett Kollmann for you, doing the research no one else wants to. He traced the source of this to find out it was ever 100% BS _AND_ dug out the stats *proving it* was. So now there Is No Need to simplify the offense for Fields ergo no defense of those play-calls. However, there is a psychology at work here that I'm up against. Fans are more franchise than player-loyal. As soon as it was clear they wanted to move on from Fields, the fans all silently sided with The Team. Media too. Eberflus was acting like total nut-job, looking like he was Ready To Spank _reporters!_ Media dropped this. By the time Fields finally called them out about this it was already too late. Eberflus didn't understand this & sort of panicked. You know how when Gannon & Steichen left Philly, no other coach *could* come in & ask the players how to do what worked last season, just called the plays they knew instead? The Bears were using play-sets that were 70%+ different from weeks 8=-10 of '22 then again in week 11, & 14-17 of '23. So if the ones undermining Fields were largely Eberflus' the ones used those weeks were Getsy's. & with them, Fields led the entire NFL in offense 3 weeks straight (& scored more points than usual in the '23 games) proving it _was_ the play-calling holding him back all along. & everyone dismissed this as a fluke. So yeah. There's all that & more. & this is still about half the _overt_ stuff. Yeah, you'd have to dig to find these things but Fields did call them out publicly, Eberflus did act that way in front of reporters, the entire team greeted Fields' concern with Dead Silence. All of that indicates _something_ wasn't right between them.

@@StraightAMain Just so you know, this is my other ID. For reasons unknown, my accounts irregularly get blocked from making comments. I file a report, they're usually reinstated, then someone at YT I guess gets mad at me for being a Justin Fields supporter & the cycle begins anew. Currently, this one has gone the longest without interruption so to avoid jumping back & forth, for now, this is me.

I'm sorry but I really can't understand the point of your comment, feel free to help clarify anything after I respond! I am going off a bell curve of the starters stats in the past 4 years, and I'm placing players and positions in each of those positions because the bell curve is a great analytical estimate of where players can place. The only downside is injuries are impossible to predict, so it does sway the results lower as a result. As for the rest of your analysis, I am writing my predictions down and comparing them after the season is done. If viewers wish to come back and say how well or poorly I did, great! But I want to know if there are better ways of doing this. It's for entertainment, just like anyone else's prediction videos. I do these for fun and to improve myself. I hope others find enjoyment, but it's okay if you don't, that's the great part about UA-cam! Hopefully I can grow and have more time to improve quality, but at the end of the day, I am a guy on the internet making videos for fun and predicting players with at least some level of analytical logic behind it. Now as for the prediction per game, I'll be doing that this upcoming season as well. Now, comparing Carr and Stroud is probably the craziest thing I've personally seen in a minute. So I'm not sure where your analytical mind set is coming from there. But I do greatly appreciate you opinion and feedback!

@@StraightAMain My writing style doesn't help. Concise isn't my strong suit. Imagine yourself as someone visiting this channel. You think you found an assessment of how teams rank, then the narrator goes on about how many yards, sacks etc. they think players will get. Team sack leaders can get 9 on winning or losing teams, only one is easier. By itself, it doesn't help assess the team much as a whole. A ranking # or letter grade helps place players, teams, & 'rooms' into a context. Montez Sweat led two losing teams in sacks in one year. That makes _him_ great, not the team. It's okay to use your system _to_ place them but as listeners, VERY few people will use something like how many yards a QB passed for in any context other than trying to say they didn't _completely_ suck. If they get 30+ TDs, no one's going to count their yards It just doesn't seem to accomplish the purpose intended.

@@StraightAMain The Carr & Stroud analysis is crazy on purpose. Carr has put up decent numbers in the past. But his rep for not coming through in the clutch is apt. Stroud on the other hand makes opposing DCs nervous. That's kind of The Point. Even if Carr put up his Best Numbers & they were in the same tier as Stroud's we'd all still know he will fail in the crunch. He has _earned_ that reputation. I'm not one to say 'once a failure always so' but even past season where he Took Control on the field & shouted at the receivers & straightened out the offense so that their last 3 games the offense clicked: why'd he wait All Season to do that? He did this So Late they were already out of the playoff picture when the effect kicked in. So saying "he'll have as many yards & TDs as Stroud" wouldn't mean he'd be as successful. His would mostly come in games they were already ahead in. That's why I don't think taking time to list how many of anything anyone might get actually helps the way you think it does. That's one person's opinion. You're 100% free to disregard it.

You know, that's a valid point. Grading system for each positions performance is actually a good idea. I'll either make a recap video or small series of videos showcasing the results or something along those lines. When I do the series next year, I'll likely incorporate a grading system into it to help simplify the process. I am focusing less on the stats which I think is beneficial. I will likely skip the stats (or a very vague mention) in favor of changes on the team player and coach wise.

No, I actually really like how you laid this out. I would tend to agree with that analysis. As said in my other reply, I will be taking a couple changes for next year. Nevertheless, I still like this series for the time being because it's getting me used to researching teams and familiarizing myself with players. Plus it'll be cool to see how close these predictions get to the actual result!

Considering they let up easily 60+ last year, I’m going to go with more likely than not, but it’s possibly they improve!

That's completely fair, I don't think an apology is needed from either of us either way. We agree that they are going to do well. But even the best teams do lose to other teams especially other teams that perform well.

I don't think I've ever seen someone say that going 11-6 is so low that it's an awful prediction! Fair enough, the team could do way better, but there are a lot of good teams in the NFL. While the Lions did get to 12-5 last year, their schedule got harder, so they'll need to stay consistent throughout the entire season to make it back to that record. I think the o-line will be more ready than the defense possibly, but it definitely isn't sustainable to double block 2 players. Always appreciate the critique!

@@CareySymchych-jj9om yeah I will say that the schedule is a lot harder this year so it might be 11-6. Hope it's 12 and 5

I agree! This offense is going to be dangerous. I'm just curious on how all of it will shape out with the receivers. Hope you enjoyed the video!

Could very well see it happening. I think it's basically a coin flip with Nico and Tank, but Diggs feels like a wild card to what he could add. Dell will definitely get some love throughout the season especially in those long drives I think.

I could go on

Thank you for the information. I have learned that the ESPN website is not fully updated. As for the Center, I went off of the websites information. It's hard to say anything more than "alright" and "okay" about many o-lineman. I am actually a Denver Broncos fan, but it's not easy to keep up with every player at every position especially when I'm researching other teams. Thank you for your comment though!
