So who would be the worst team if it's not the Panthers? Cincinnati? Arizona? Buffalo? Denver? Washington?
The Palmer-less, Ochocinco-less, (and looking to be Benson-less) Bengals look like they're going to be terrible. Arizona is an okay to good team everywhere but the QB position (though that defense needs improvement that may come from more consistent offense). Washington looks ugly, as well, unless they have Packers-like success in the 3-4 in the second season of that defensive change; their offense is lacking at every position, though. Denver and Buffalo are, like the Cardinals, okay to good generally-speaking except for a few positions.
So maybe Washington and Cincinnati should be the bottom-feeders followed by Carolina, Buffalo, et al.
As always, though, one of those top rated teams will have a big fall. The Chiefs or Bears look like possible free-fallers.
