Back in May, our sibling site The Daily Norseman ran a piece using Pro Football Focus’s data to evaluate the rosters of the NFC North. Lester covered their surprising conclusion that the best roster in the division belonged to the Chicago Bears. This finding, justifiably, evoked a lot of criticism. After all, the Bears were in the basement of the NFC North last year, and have at least been standing by the cellar door of the entire NFC NFL professional sports for far too long.
With that in mind, and with minicamps wrapping up, it’s time to evaluate the rosters in our division using means slightly more meaningful than PFF’s eye-test-disguised-as-metrics system, and the series is going to kick off with the easiest position to rank: quarterback (note that I said “rank”, not evaluate).
