PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Los Angeles Chargers Higher

Quarterback is the clearest separator. Justin Herbert gives Los Angeles more certainty than the Philadelphia Eagles have at the position. Philadelphia's strongest counterargument is Roster Strength. The Philadelphia Eagles have fewer places for an opponent to attack across the roster. That gives the team more ways to survive when one strength is taken away.

Los Angeles also brings the stronger coaching operation. PFM still has the Los Angeles Chargers in front.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Philadelphia Eagles’ Best Argument

The Philadelphia Eagles have more answers across the roster than the Los Angeles Chargers. The supporting lineup is less dependent on one quarterback or one unit carrying the entire team. That is why the overall gap is smaller than the score first suggests. Los Angeles still answers with the steadier quarterback room and the stronger coaching operation, which keeps the overall judgment in place.
