[@jihyotwice3159]

At least is Chris is a realist, which is more I can say about Rich. Rich is really delusional. I can see anyone being a fan but don't put your team in the top 10 when your team picked in the top 11. It would be hilarious if Chris put the Jets on that list but I agree that there are worse teams than the Jets. I would actually agree with all the teams on Chris's list. I also agree with the Pats as the worse, not to mention the coaching staff doesn't really inspire anyone. Even the Broncos and the Chargers deserve some faith. I would venture Chris would put the Jets wholly in the middle of the list if Aaron Rodgers stays healthy and almost at the bottom (around 20ish) if AR gets injured. The main problem, especially long term, is the lack of a future franchise QB being developed behind AR because the Jets kowtow to AR's demands. I would think AR would be angry (again) if they draft a young QB in next year's draft.

[@Ash-lf6to]

Saints at 29 is crazy work. They Blasted the rest of the division at the end of the season where everyone was still in contention for the division winner and lost it by a half game tie breaker. Mind you that was with Pete Carmichael drawing up plays with a crayon and coloring book in the corner.

[@frankfowler3270]

Yeah people forget what happened at the end of the year and just lost the tie breaker like you mentioned.

[@andrewsutherland1909]

Yeah but you still got Carr at QB. You just happened to get his 4 great games all in a row at the end. The rest of the season he was averaging less than 7 a throw and only had 13 TDs in 13 games. Unless the Saints defense is top 5 and also scoring multiple TDs throughout the year it's gonna be tough barring a miracle run at the end to break past 8 wins. -Raider fan with a decade of experience watching Carr

[@KevinicusPD]

There's a difference between real fans and "fanboys". I live in New England so I see a lot of both, but the real fans are the realistic ones that understand it will be a few years before the Patriots are remotely in contention, especially in a division with 2 teams likely to be contenders and also the Jets. The delusional fans probably only watched the Belichick golden years and don't understand that dynasties end, and they should probably go ahead and become Cowboys fans.
