PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the New York Jets Higher
The New York Jets have the more dependable defense. It does not need the offense to answer every possession to keep control of a game. Miami's strongest counterargument is QB Stability. Miami has the better quarterback grade here. It is still not high enough to call the position a strength.
New York also brings the bigger big-play threat. New York adds the clearer long-term football direction. The counterargument matters, but it does not erase New York's slight overall advantage.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT
Miami Dolphins’ Best Argument
The quarterback problem is less severe for the Miami Dolphins, but the rating still warns against treating the position as settled. The QB Stability advantage is a real point in Miami's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Miami is that New York counters with the stronger defense and the bigger big-play threat.
