This brings to a close our weekly rankings for this, the first week of the National Football League. As I write this we are under 24 hours until the season opener commences. Yes, we will be favred to death, but it’s football! Real football!!
Keep those start/sit questions coming in the comments. If you pose me a difficult enough one it may make me rethink my rankings here. I try to pose myself those questions while doing the rankings, but sometimes it’s not until one of you ask, that I see a good reason to rank someone higher than the other.
I will also post a game thread for the season opener so we can revel in it together!
