In 2015, the National Football League is more built toward offenses putting up eye-popping statistics than ever before. The league has opened up the passing rules and – correctly – made the game safer for receivers and quarterbacks. Without a fear of going across the middle, receivers have found huge yardage and open spaces like never before.

Consequently, offenses have been able to run the ball with more effectiveness because defense must play more nickel and dime formations (meaning five and six defensive backs on the field at once, respectively). Most teams have also gone to a two or even three-back system, hoping to keep a fresh rotation of runners.

However, teams are also more reliant than ever on the quarterback. In the 1990s, teams won consistently without great quarterback play if the running game and defenses were solid. In 2015, it is almost impossible to make the playoffs without a signal-caller who you would at least quantify as good. With all of that in mind, lets go through and rank the offenses.
