Top 250 forward (1 Viewer)

Darrell Jackson is about 4-5 spots too low on the WR rankings at least. Considering 1)who is above him and 2)his potential for the rest of the yr im surprised he is listed where he is.

I realise that all you veterans will stickup for the staff's rankings, but I don't quite understand why Djax is listed where he is. I was gonna post this last week, but i thought that maybe his ranking was where it was due to him being on a bye that week. Can't use that reasoning anymore.

I agree

I'm on staff, and I disagree with ranking.

Sorry about the generalisation.

Considering the Bears' remaining schedule, the success that Grossman has had, and the overall quality of the Bears' team, I cannot understand why Carr is rated above Grossman in the top 250 forward. Anybody agree with FBG's assessment and if so, please explain your reasons. Thanks.

True, but I disagree with many of the rankings. One of the best parts of being on this staff is that we're encouraged to think for ourselves. However, being different just to be different is a problem. We're expected to be able to justify our rankings thoroughly and objectively. Lots of the staff members have been role models in doing just that. Mark Wimer comes to mind. He routinely is out in left field each year at first, but he does a great job of explaining his rankings each year.

Just a guess but:+Chicago may revert to more of a running team as the year goes on+Harder to throw well as the weather turns colder and, especially, snowier+HOU can expect to be behind in most games and throwing to try to catch up

But why doesn't the site publish more than the one set of rankings during the season? I've asked this several times, but I don't recall ever getting a straight answer. The year you guys bought Red-Eye and had 2 sets of projections each week it was great because the differences in rankings led me to think and consider the reasons better. It helped to keep me away from locking onto one set of projections. I'd love to see this variety of opinions during the season just like during the preseason. I realize it can't be everyone on staff because it's a big time commitment, but at least one other set of rankings/projections, etc would be an enormous improvement. I'd much rather see that than some of the current in-season regular features.

While we're at it, how is Philip Rivers still below the likes of JP Losman, Steve McNair, Jake Plummer, Charlie Frye and Alex Smith?

Rivers showed what he could do Sunday night and I fully expect 225/2 to be the norm going forward.
