Why PFM Rates the Green Bay Packers Higher

Quarterback is the clearest separator. Jordan Love gives Green Bay more certainty than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have at the position. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are closest in roster strength, where the teams remain essentially even.

Green Bay also brings the stronger coaching operation. Green Bay adds the clearer long-term football direction. The Green Bay Packers still deserves the higher PFM rating.

TAMPA BAY’S BEST PUSHBACK

Roster Strength Is Tampa Bay’s Only Close Fight

Tampa Bay's roster gives the team one place to push back. The Buccaneers are only 1 points behind Green Bay in Roster Strength, but that is where Tampa Bay's case ends. Green Bay still has Jordan Love at quarterback and Matt LaFleur leading the coaching staff, two advantages the Buccaneers cannot match in this comparison.
