The last list that ESPN had wasn’t too kind to the Chicago Bears, so using that one as context, this latest list isn’t that bad. That other list had the Bears’ Super Bowl era QB situation ranked 32nd in the league, so in comparison this 21st ranking is all good.
Until we dive a little deeper into it...
This latest ESPN Insider list is their Pro Football Focus 2020 NFL roster rankings for all 32 teams, and while they present it as a list of the best to worst rosters in the league, they also say they do it “with an eye toward the projected starters,” which leads me to believe the list is weighted towards the first stringers.
