    It really has been on of the top divisions in the league for the past 2 seasons:

    2019 - Only the NFC-N and NFC-W had a better win %
    2018 - Had the best win % in the NFL

    Everyone's always sleeping on the AFC South because we only have 1 household name at QB now with Luck gone, but the division isn't the joke that it was 5 years ago.

    And there's no reason to believe anyone's gotten worse.

    I dont care how bad Rivers is, he is still an upgrade over Brissett.

    Rivers > brissett

    2019 stats adjusted for attempts rather than cumulative:

    TD/attempt: Brisset (4%) - Rivers (3.9%)
    INT/attempt: Brisset (1.3%) - Rivers (3.4%)
    Yards/attempt: Brisset (6.6) - Rivers (7.8)
    Sack/attempt: Brisset (5.7%) - Rivers (5.4%)
    QB Rating: Brisset (88.0%) - Rivers (88.5%)

    So they're pretty much the same player except Rivers throws more picks, but does get more yardage. He got a ton more volume in LA, so his overall stats look better, but he's really not any better on a per throw basis.

    One thing you can't say though is that Rivers is stepping into a better situation of offensive playmakers. That Chargers team actually has ton of receiving talent on it - Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Hunter Henry, and Austin Ekeler are all extremely dangerous weapons for a QB.

    Indy has some interesting pieces and a good OL, but there's a lot of unknowns with that group, and some big question marks at several positions.

    The Texans are worse. 6 to 8 win team if healthy. OBrien completely destroys locker room by mid season.
