The Super Bowl Was Amazing..But Caveman Is All Ready To Put Out His 2017 Power Rankings! Feel Free T

Patriots: The roster shuffling by this team is unreal. They let key players go and still win. It's a work of art. --14-2-02

Falcons: They will have two new coordinators in 2017, which is always a challenge. But the pieces are there to push for the NFC title again.111-5-03

Packers: They have to get better on defense if they are to be a Super Bowl team again. They also have to run it better. 410-6-04

Cowboys: They have to figure out what to do with Tony Romo. They also have to find a pass rush. 213-3-05

Steelers: The young defense improved as the season moved along, which is a good sign for 2017.111-5-06

Raiders: One can only imagine what could have happened if Derek Carr didn't go down. Now they have to build on that season.312-4-07

Seahawks: Age and salary cap limitations starting to impact this team? Is the window closing? 110-5-18

Giants: The defense made big strides in 2016. Now the offense needs to get back to being consistent -- and they have to run it better.--11-5-09

Chiefs: They have some key free-agent decisions on safety Eric Berry and nose tackle Dontari Poe coming up. 412-4-010

Broncos: The new staff, led by coach Vance Joseph, has to settle on a quarterback if indeed they are staying in-house. Why not Tony Romo?29-7-011

Buccaneers: Dirk Koetter did a nice job in his first season. Now they just need to add some pieces on defense and they can be a playoff team. 39-7-012

Dolphins: It's all about the health of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. If he's ready to go, they can again be a playoff team. They do need help on defense.210-6-013

LionsIf they are to push for more than a playoff spot, two things have to get better: Pass rush on defense and running the football on offense.29-7-014

RavensThere is a young foundation to build on for this team. They have a key free agent in nose Brandon Williams.18-8-015

TexansIs Brock Osweiler the guy in 2017? Or do they make a run at Romo?--9-7-016

CardinalsThey were at top-10 team in both offense and defense last season and failed to make the playoffs. They will be a playoff contender again with Carson Palmer back. 67-8-117

TitansThey will again be a tough, physical team, but are they explosive enough on offense to win in this wide-open NFL? 19-7-018

RedskinsIt's an offseason all about Kirk Cousins. Does he get a long-term deal or is it another year playing under the franchise tag?18-7-119

PanthersThey had a major Super Bowl hangover, but they will bounce back in 2017. One problem: The division is a lot tougher now.46-10-020

ColtsChuck Pagano is back as coach, but there's a new general manager in Chris Ballard. That means Pagano has to win in 2017.28-8-021

VikingsInjuries crippled them last season, so getting players back will be big. They have questions about quarterback Teddy Bridgewater -- who reportedly could miss the entire 2017 season -- and running back Adrian Peterson (salary).28-8-022

BengalsThey got off to a bad start last season and never recovered. I would expect them to bounce back. 26-9-123

ChargersThey're in a new city (Los Angeles), led by a new coach (Anthony Lynn) but still have the same quarterback (Philip Rivers), with the latter a good thing. They lost a lot of close games last season. 25-11-024

SaintsDrew Brees and Sean Payton are both back, which Saints fans have to love. Now it's time for the duo to make another playoff push. 37-9-025

EaglesThey have to be encouraged by what they saw from rookie Carson Wentz last season. He does need more weapons.17-9-026

BillsWho plays quarterback for new coach Sean McDermott? Is Cardale Jones the guy? Is he close to being ready? 67-9-027

JetsHere's yet another team that has nothing settled at quarterback. Until they fix it, nothing else matters. --5-11-028

RamsI like new coach Sean McVay, but he has to make the offense to a much higher level. Jared Goff has a long way to go.--4-12-029

BearsDo they make the big play to get Jimmy Garoppolo to play quarterback? John Fox is clearly on the hot seat entering the coming season.--3-13-030

JaguarsThe biggest question is the dynamic inside the building: How can Tom Coughlin and Doug Marrone co-exist? --3-13-031

49ersNew coach Kyle Shanahan faces a tough challenge in 2017. Who plays quarterback? --2-14-032

BrownsThere are some young players to build around. One problem: They don't have a quarterback. Is this the team that trades for Garoppolo?--1-15-0
