Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 21, 2023, 9:51 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Preseason polls are pointless, but I try to find a balance between floor and ceiling, along with the overall talent of the team. I value having a returning QB and returning other players, because there is a much higher floor when we know that the players are already good.
