Lindy's Rating The Teams

tiggerpolice · 06-30-2005, 08:49 AM

The following chart is a compilation of the position ratings for each team that were included in the preview stories. Each unit is rated on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. Intangibles had a plus or minus of no more than 2. That figure was added or subtracted from the total of all positions.

I am glad someone sees (like me) we have less talent than all the hype that goes on.

Um, they have Minnesota ranked about the same as us, when they are clearly better. They gave Tom Brady and 8 at QB, and AB got a 7? If Tom Brady is an 8, AB is a 3, at best. They gave Culpepper the same grade as Brady. They rated McNabb BETTER. Yeah, these guys know what they are talking about. Hell, Trent Green is rated the same as Brady, and Jake Plummer is half a point under. JAKE PLUMMER. Hell, J.P. freaking Losman is only a half point below Brady on this chart, but he is rated better than AB. You may wanna read what's going on more before tossing your hat in with these clowns.

Tom Brady and 8 at QB, and AB got a 7?

That QB in Carolina , I think his name is Jake Delhomme , his rating was 7.5 and Brooks is 7.0.

WhoDat must have not seen this yet ......

WhoDat · 06-30-2005, 09:39 PM

Hadn't. Have now. I think that's hilarious.

But I ultimately agree with Whodi. What a freaking sham those ratings are.

Our WRs, which are have been a concern outside of Horn are an 8 but Deuce is a 7. Our D-line ranks as high as our RB??? Get the F out of here.

BlackandBlue · 07-01-2005, 05:59 PM

You missed the fact that the first rating goes to the coach. According to these rankings, Carolina has better running backs and wide receivers than we do.

Yeah, ok.

And can someone explain to me the whole, "this team is not as talented as everyone makes them out to be," mentality that I've been reading on these boards the past few days?

LordOfEntropy · 07-02-2005, 10:21 AM

Looks like you killed another thread.

FireVenturi · 07-02-2005, 12:26 PM

omg look at what they have our special teams? and rb? they just lost all credibility!

saintz08 · 07-02-2005, 12:53 PM

Yeah, ok.

Sure why not .

Using Saintfan logic .......

All Jake Delhomme does is hand off .......Yet for some reason he throws for more yards then Brooks in the wide open Saint offense .

Now take into consideration , the Saints are 1 high ankle sprain away from no running game . Carolina can pretty much run whom ever and get the yards . Jake has put the ball down the field and had breakout seasons for Smith and Moose and it seems that Carolina has a good receiver waiting to breakout now every year . Saints have Horn and despite his strong year , still underachieved in comparison to Moose . The rest of the Saints receivers are unproven .
