Three Buckets Define QB Support
- Supporting cast around NFL QBs includes play caller, pass catchers, and offensive line/run game.
- Weighting these factors differs by evaluator, affecting team support rankings significantly.
Jets' Low Support Cast Ranking
- Jets' supporting cast ranks lowest mainly due to uncertain young offensive line and weak pass-catching depth besides Garrett Wilson.
- First-year play caller increases uncertainty; average performance might represent a big success.
Patriots' Supporting Cast Uncertainty
- Patriots' supporting cast is questionable with an inexperienced offensive line and uncertainty at pass catcher positions.
- Offensive staff's potential is intriguing, but performance uncertainty tempers expectations.
