KCF0107 02/16/21 3:57:48 AM #5:	Former Super Bowl Champions The *Dallas Cowboys* have been the league's most talented team for half of the league's existence. However, I institute a limitation on collective annual player expenses (called a salary cap) that is lower than what the game gives, and taking over the Cowboys would mean you would have your work cut out for you getting them under the salary cap. You would still end up with a Super Bowl-caliber team, but it is starting to get top-heavy. The *Miami Dolphins* have an almost equally-talented team than the Cowboys, and they too have financial issues related to the cap that would require some work but not to the same level as the Cowboys. Like the Cowboys, you would still end up with a team that would be among the Super Bowl favorites given their depth and balance. The *Denver Broncos* are uber-talented on defense, but the offense could use some help in the form of depth, and have a small issue with the salary cap. The *Minnesota Vikings* have a balanced talent level similar to the Dolphins, but they are in much better financial health, and had among the most cap space in the league. The reigning champion *Columbus Pioneers* are easily the least talented of the bunch, but the defense has had a major turnaround the past two seasons, and while overall the offense has been playing at a high level, injuries and talent issues show that this is far from a consistent, sustainable unit. They are in excellent financial health for the time being. Perennial Playoff Teams The *St. Louis Rams* have made the playoffs 11 times in 14 seasons, the second most in the league. They are in decent financial health and have a nice mix of veterans and youth. The defense has been one of the league's best, and the offense has had some turnaround of late. The OL is getting very old though. The *Baltimore Ravens* have won the AFC North and finished 10-6 in four straight seasons, but they have some talent issues at various positions. Every team in the division has nipped at their heels during this run of theirs, so they would need to navigate the offseason well enough with their annual salary cap issues. The *Portland Express* have gone 31-17 the past three seasons with three playoff wins, and their team has gotten quite a bit younger, especially on defense, and is overall on the rise. They too have been in great financial health, so if you want a non-powerhouse that has a high floor but plenty of room to grow, this might be the best option. Playoff Caliber The *New York Jets* are coming off of three straight losing seasons, but the underlying stats peg them as arguably the league's unluckiest team having suffered among the most injuries and games lost due to injuries but still proceeding to finish above average or better in most major team categories. They will have another Top 10 pick this draft, so they could be ready to break out next season. Work In Progress The offense of the *Seattle Seahawks* can be elite, but injuries to their top two QBs and an ineffective running game for the first half of the season really hurt their rankings. However, the defense probably needs a reboot. It just hasn't been playing up to its talent level, and most of the starters are in their 30s. You can probably be competitive in the short term because of the offense, but the defense will likely take multiple seasons to get it together. The *San Juan Orcas* play in the league's worst division, but they haven't made the playoffs since S2. They've been a Jekyll and Hyde team in alternating having a great offense/defense while the other among the league's worst. However, these past two seasons have shown that the defense, while aging, is the identity of this team because that offense was downright putrid after starting five different QBs last season. That is unacceptable with the OL that they have. A new QB/HB combo will be necessary for them to take the step forward that I have long been anticipating from them. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:950688873] in Sign-ups f...
