Ecnal has his Power Poll, i will start my
Butters' Coca Cola League Poll (where 1 is the worst of the worst and 10 is the best of the worst)
1. Oakland Raiders - They just look horrible out there right now. If you lose to the Cleveland Browns, there's something to say about that. Well, any team that has Aaron Brooks as their quarterback plainly sucks. Thank you. Bright spot about this team ? Shane Lechler. Their punter. a booming 48.1 yard average, with a 39 yard net. pretty decent +/- ratio there. props to their special teams.
2. Tennessee Titans - When you hire Kerry Collins at the last second to fill the quarterback job, you know this is going to be a very long season. They just do not look good right now. I am hoping Vince Young can salvage this franchise, because this team isn't going anywhere the next 2 to 3 years. Their supposed cornerback of the future Pacman Jones is more like Honey Toast Crunch Jones by the way he keeps getting burnt on every play.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Condolences to Chris Simms and his spleen. have a save recovery. other than that, wow. where has this team gone after their super bowl win ? i still think they have a very powerful defense with monty kiffin, but their offense just plain sucks. cadillac williams is more like ford taurus williams.
4. Detroit Lions - Matt Millen is crossing his fingers the Tigers can last through October, then the Red Wings and Pistons can occupy November on. Their defense looks completely lost right now. However, I think Mike Martz is a perfect fit for their offense. Kitna, Williams, and Jones (finally having a somewhat productive year) is a decent 3 head combo. Too bad Rodgers and Mike Wiliams cant produce as much.
5. Miami Dolphins - Daunte is not the same anymore. Maybe Bill Simmons is right about the "running quarterbacks theory". they have 2 good years, and then after that, they take a real big nosedive, and don't come back. reason for this is that they take a brutal beating everytime they leave the pocket, and since they are running quarterbacks, that's a lot of hard hits. I can hear the chants for Joey Harrington 2000 miles away from miami.
6. Houston Texans - Why is this team placed so high ? well if you compare the texans to the other 5 teams, the texans are better. david carr has been getting hit a lot lately, but he's been accurate. get this : he's at 73% completion right now. 73% ! amazing. i guess gary kubiak is doing good things with carr, and he could develop to be a decent quarterback.
7. Green Bay Packers - it's time for brett favre to take a seat behind, and let aaron rodgers take the driver's seat for now. favre's ego is so huge, he wants to top all of dan marino's records before he retires, because he always wants to be known as #1 in the books. get over it brett. but why is green bay this high ? they still have bubba franks (da U), donald driver, and ahmen green. pretty good offensive weapons if you ask me. as for the defense is concerned, it's going to be a long year for them.
8. San Francisco 49ers - mike nolan and norv turner are turning alex smith and crew into the right direction. they're not going to have a good year this year, but i give them maybe next year or 2008 to be in playoff contention. their defense is semi solid, just needs to fill some holes. their offense is set with smith and gore. they just need a good wr, who right now is antonio bryant and arnez battle. i give them props for actually giving 100% every week(well maybe erase this past weekend)
9. Arizona Cardinals - it's time to turn the hot desert into sunny seaside shores. out with the old , in with the new. time for leinert to see if he can turn this season around. this team in my opinion is pretty good and could vie for a wild card spot. the defense is pretty good, but don't look it right now, because the offense keeps giving up the ball. larry fitzgerald and anquan boldin are going to be the best tag team duo for a long time to come.
10. Cleveland Browns - i think this team has potential to make it to the playoffs this year. things are clicking for them. frye looks somewhat comfortable behind the pocket. running game is not as good, but can hold ground for a portion of the game. braylon edwards, joe jurevicius(best white boy wr right now), and kellen winslow(da U) are an excellent corp of receivers. my surprise pick for a wild card spot.
