And like I said he will not be a top 50 player in 2016 when he has to face the AFCW, NFCN, and the Bengals. Not to mention their entire division should be better next year. People will think he regressed, but it will be a big learning experience for him. He's not going to get better playing a schedule like he did last year.

If the Chiefs drafted Bortles and he did what he did against the teams he did (meaning both the good and the bad), CP might be cautiously optimistic, but nobody would be agreeing with this ranking quite yet.

He's going to get in shootouts with the Carr and the Raiders, Rivers and the Chargers, Rodgers and the Packers, Stafford and the Lions, Cutler and the Bears

NONE OF THOSE TEAMS STOP THE PASS and its been that way for the last like ten years. They just have QBs that can throw. He's going to be able to sling it with his fellow gunslinger QBs he plays against.

You make seem like outside the Bengals, Vikings, Chiefs and Broncos hes facing good defensive backfields that can hold him for under 200 yards.

Neither one of those D's are as bad as the ones in the NFCS and AFCS. Raiders and Chargers have the pass rushers to give the Jags Oline problems. The Packers, Bears, and Lions all have talent on defense, and in particular pass rushers. They all got better this offseason on that side of the ball also, especially the Raiders and Bears.

You're seriously underestimating how bad those two divisions are outside of the Panthers. That made up 9 of their 16 games last year.
