Bengals, Eagles, COwboys , Jets.
Bengals have a top 5 QB, a top 5 number 1 WR, top five number 2 WR, arguably top 5 guard, etc.
Eagles are doing great at most of their positions.
Cowboys have tons of top talent in many positions and where they don't have top 5 they're usually hovering around top 10.
Jets stank for a long time and got a lot of high picks (sauce Gardner, Quinnen WIlliams, Wilson, etc.) then in the offseason was able to add Rodgers who should still have at least a year or 2 left of good QB play and with all the JEts weapons could be top 5 again.
I would also argue Miami into that mix too. Miami if Tua isn't concussed have sick talent, Tua played really well before they left him out there to get murdered, Waddle and Tyreek is an insane combo. THey are pretty solid across the board.
That being said, it's the NFL, you need a strong performing QB to win. Having a great QB goes a long way. Especially when partnered with a dangerous weapon.

Got to love Sampling.
A lot of the redskin **** was a bruhaha. What Snyder could have done was work with a group like the seminoles or removed iconography heavily like the braves did.

They beat the best team.in the world in their own stadium while not playing that great.
They were also missing their the 1st round speedster WR (Jameson Williams and their most talented cornerback (Emmanuel Mosley)
Winning on road is impressive regardless but to call them the eagles that had one of the best regular seasons in recent memory is a big time stretch.
BTW, as a niner fan I’ll tell you that Mosley being hurt isn’t a shocker.

The lions won 8/10 to finish last year, and according to DVOA, we're a top 5 team by all analytics.
They did nothing but upgrade this off-season, completely revamping the defense. Their biggest loss was DJ Chark.
They open the season with a win on the road over Mahomes.
Lions will.win 12+ this year
Are you a lions fan? If so, how did that happen?

Die hard.
Cursed from my father who could only get Detroit radio stations when he was a kid, so he was a huge Detroit sports fan.
I became a braves fan bc I could watch on TBS. But otherwise root for Detroit in all other sports.
Have never stepped foot in the state
Good stuff. Love the story.
Good luck this year. Hopefully we can talk **** to each other for the nfc title game.

Bijan and Allgeier will be a problem. I'm excited to see what kind of numbers they can put up.
Bryce Young was **** which isn't surprising, the NFL is a big jump from COllege. He'll probably get better.

Eagles are currently beating the pants of the Patriots.
Sure but Steelers were dark horse SB champs and pats don’t have a QB.

Hargrave is a good player. As is Aiyuk. But you're high if you think Aiyuk is a top 5 number 1. If you argue Deebo is your 1 then sure he can be a top 5 number 2. But you realize he's competing with guys like Jefferson, Adams, Lamb, Hill, Brown, Diggs, Chase, Kupp etc. WE're in kind of a golden era of Wide Receiver talent. So many amazing guys who're playing now.
In terms of a duo Niners are top 5 I think. Not the bengals but otherwise they are close to tops.
Armstead in his way back to his normal dominant self as well.
Embarrassment of riches and Purdy might be better than game manager.

No one was considering the Steelers a dark horse SB champs. Some people were overselling them, but anyone with a brain realizes they're doing nothing with Pickett. Sure Pickett could amybe amount to something, but he's almost certainly not a good QB. Not saying MAc Jones isa good QB, but I'm saying the Pats and Steelers are basically the same level of talent.
Niners as I said should be a good team. Unless Purdy ****s the bed which I dont' think is likely, Shanahan has a history of getting a lot out of QBs of all level of talent.

Maybe, I'm not a Deebo buyer. I think on versatility he's great, but I don't think think he's a great WR.
ALso you have to realize ther'es a lot of great WR 1/2s out there.
Bengals with Chase and Higgins
Eagles with Brown and Smith
Dolphins with Hill and Waddle (my pick for the best)
Seahawks with Metcalf and Lockett (and maybe Smith-Njigba)
Vikings with Jefferson and Addison
Cowbows with Lamb and Cooks
Raiders with Adams and Meyers (though it's yet to be seen if Meyers will recover from his massive boner last year)
Bills with Diggs and Davis (if Davis can catch the damned ball consistently he'd be an amazing 2)
I will say the Niners are for sure top 5 in receiver corps because Kittle is a top 3 TE. ANd lots of those other teams don't have great 3rd options
