We know that the LA Rams are disrespected, but which 5 NFL teams are the most disrespected in 2023?

There is not a lot of respect in the 2023 NFL Power Rankings for the LA Rams right now, and that's not exactly a surprise. After all, a quick and superficial review of the LA Rams last season indicates that a 5-12 finish was not improved much from free agency. Compounding the situation further is the fact that the team traded or released multiple elite players. And even further investigation reveals that the Rams did not even benefit from a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

That sets the stage for a very difficult sell on the idea that the LA Rams are an improved team. But let's just stick a pin in that thought for now, as we will have plenty of opportunity to double back and discuss that at length later in this article.

For now, let's leverage the old adage of 'Misery loves company,' and commiserate with the other NFL team fanbases who are also not feeling a lot of love from NFL insiders, experts, pundits, and analysts right now. Many of those opinions are only available to fans behind a paywall, requiring fans to ante up hard-earned money to have the opportunity to be persuaded or informed about the status of their team's future.

2023 NFL Power Rankings got it wrong

There is any number of 2023 NFL power rankings currently available. For the most part, the LA Rams are not landing among the top teams for the 2023 NFL season. Some of those opinions are free to the public, others are not. While you may have your rathers over which 'media service,' you rely on, rest assured that even the most illustrative and well-written opinions are still speculation. If predictions, projections, and future forecasting were truly based on science, then there would be many folks who would suddenly become incredibly wealthy by playing the stock market.

And so, I'd like to take a stroll through one free 2023 NFL Power Ranking from Pro Football Focus. whose co-authors Amelia Probst and Arjun Menon did a rather admirable and informative job of ranking all 32 NFL teams and wording their logic in such a way that it makes sense as to what their reasoning was behind the ordering.

Still, when it comes to working on an article that must span all 32 NFL teams, who has the time to become intimately familiar with the intricate details of that team's coaching staff, roster, depth chart, and health status? Like many models, nobody sets out to get it wrong. However, the weight and number of variables that impact the future are almost always misunderstood. So let's run down the list of five NFL teams that I believe are the most disrespected in the NFL for the upcoming 2023 NFL season.
