I think after the Colts , Dallas may be the best in the league and definetly best in the division
Don't easily presume the Colts are nearly as good as they were last year. Losing Edge is going to hurt them... quite a bit.
Rhodes had 1104 yards in his rookie year in 2001, when James was injured, and since hasn't done more than 254 yards in a year. And last year averaged 3.0 yards per gain.
Edge is a 1500+ yard runner in comparisson. There is going to be a huge drop off in their running game.
The Colts are overrated, and the only reason they came CLOSE to a perfect season, was because their schedule was so weak. And their division is so weak. You had two of the worst teams in the nfl in one division. Hopefully the jaguars win the division next year.Too bad their overrated too.
The AFC itself is overrated, and is on a complete downward spiral.
Look at the AFC East
Patriots - suck
dolphins - decent, pretty good with culpepper
buffalo - sucks
jets - suck
Dolphins will win that division next year.
the afc north will be the afc powerhouse division. but baltimore will still suck.
denver is the best team in the afc, and san diego, and kansas city are both going to suck next year. less so for kansas city, more so for san diego. oakland is also going to suck.
Compared to the up and coming teams in the nfc...
dallas cowboys, new york giants, washington Commanders *until the implode*, chicago bears, tampa bay buccaneers, seattle seahawks, carolina panthers, atlanta falcons, new orleans (maybe in a year or two) , arizona cardinals... san fransisco in two years...
the nfc is full of growing talent now.
