Our Naughty Nurse provides the final pre-draft statistical breakdowns of all 32 NFL teams

In true democratic fashion, we're doing it in alphabetical order.  

 

Arizona - If you ever doubted Kurt Warner's Hall of Fame qualifications, simply look at the statistical implosion of the Cardinals passing game in the wake of his retirement.

 

Atlanta - The Falcons were a nice a little football team in 2010, with a 13-3 record and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. But they also had a tankful of statistical weaknesses that were ultimately exposed by the Packers in the playoffs.

 

Baltimore - The Ravens were good in 2010. But in the fashion that's become typical of the franchise since the 2000 Super Bowl champion club, they simply were not good enough to join the NFL elite last year.

 

Buffalo - The Bills have frustrated their fans for the better part of the five decades since their brief AFL glory days. And this past decade has been the worst of the five – no playoff appearances, no offense, no identity, and usually no hope. But other than that, buck up all you little Buffalo campers. Things are bound to get better some day.

 

Carolina - The Panthers are in total makeover mode: coach John Fox was dumped after nine tantalizing but mostly frustrating seasons. New head coach Ron Rivera has a great rep but no head coaching experience. Meanwhile, the proverbial "quarterback of the future," Jimmy Clausen, struggled badly in 2010, even by the lowly standards of rookie passers. The team is already looking elsewhere.

 

Chicago - The last image we have of the 2010 Bears is the physically battered and emotionally bruised Jay Cutler whimpering in the face of withering criticism – not to mention the Packers pass rush – after taking a seat at halftime of a 21-14 loss in the NFC championship game. Blame the Curse of Sid Luckman and the NFL's worst Offensive Hogs in 2010. On the bright side, the 2010 Bears were one or two plays away from reaching the Super Bowl with Caleb Hanie at quarterback.

 

Cincinnati - Same old story along the Ohio River: the Bengals appeared to have a lot of nice pieces in place. But the result was another disappointing season for the hapless, mismanaged franchise.

 

Cleveland - New coach Pat Shurmur boasts the least impressive resume of any NFL coach while possible Hall of Famer Mike Holmgren stays upstairs in the front office. The team has a good offensive nucleus of McCoy-Hillis-Thomas. But decades of frustration will put the dampers on even the most enthusiastic football fans.
