PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Baltimore Ravens Higher

The Baltimore Ravens are stronger across the supporting lineup. Carolina needs more of its best players to cover the thinner parts of the roster. Carolina's strongest counterargument is QB Stability. Carolina has the better quarterback grade here. It is still not high enough to call the position a strength.

Baltimore also brings the stronger defense. Baltimore adds the more dependable offense. The Baltimore Ravens still deserves the higher PFM rating.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Carolina Panthers’ Best Argument

The quarterback problem is less severe for the Carolina Panthers, but the rating still warns against treating the position as settled. The QB Stability advantage is a real point in Carolina's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Carolina is that Baltimore counters with the deeper roster and the stronger defense.
