Top 10 NFL Teams with the Worst Offense Going Into the 2020-21 Season

Offense is important but some teams aren’t great at it. Either it’s the quarterback or the lack of weapons or talent or the Offensive line can’t keep the quarterback on his feet there’s several factors that lead to a bad offense here are some teams who’s offense is abysmal to just underwhelming
The Top Ten
1 Jacksonville The Jacksonville Jaguars are an American professional football franchise based in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Jaguars will have very little to work with on offense. I hope Gardner Minshew succeeds, I really do. I'm all for Minshew Mania. I just can't see the Jaguars being that good. First off, who do they have? DJ Chark had a solid season, Tyler Eifert maybe? Leonard Fournette's stock has fallen so far that the Jags tried to shop him around, and nobody would take the offer. Fournette is still decent enough, but it's clear that the Jags may try to get rid of him for an upstart rookie story. Gardner Minshew is going to have a tough road for his sophomore season.

2 New England The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region. New England Patriots are one of the few teams to have 5+ wins in the Super Bowl.

It feels strange to put the Patriots here on a Worst list, but honestly, they would be #1 if not for Bill Belichick as their coach and Cam Newton in town. Belichick has shown that he can build the offense around Matt Cassel and Jacoby Brissett. Cam still has potential in my opinion.

Julian Edelman is still a veteran receiver who could be a mentor for N'Keal Harry. There's also Mohamed Sanu, who hopefully will actually do more, and Sony Michel. There are a few veteran pieces here, but they need to step up big time. I'm not exactly buying it.

3 Washington The Washington Commanders are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

In 2020, Washington after 87 years got rid of the Redskins trademark due to it being labeled racist to native culture. It was named the Washington Football Team until February... read more

The Washington (insert team name here) offense will rely completely on Dwayne Haskins. Riverboat Ron was able to mold Cam Newton into a legit starter for a few years. Terry McLaurin and Derrius Guice may be the only bright spots to speak of. Adrian Peterson is still there, but he isn't getting any younger. That O-line was just OK when Trent Williams was there. Now he's gone, and you have an O-line that's going to struggle without his presence. Haskins better show improvement in year two. Otherwise, this could be the next Josh Rosen right here.

4 Chicago The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division.

Chicago, to me, hasn't shown they're not a bottom-five offense. The Bears will have to rely on either Mitchell Trubisky or Nick Foles, neither of whom really inspires confidence. Trubisky? Yeah, just watch him last year. I shouldn't have to go into detail. We've seen that he hasn't lived up to his hype, and the front office and fanbase have given up on him. Meanwhile, the Pat Mahomes comparisons will live on for the next 30 years.

Nick Foles, while okay in certain situations, is nothing more than that. He's a quick fix, not a full-time starter. Either way, Da Bears are screwed. The running game is almost nonexistent, and the most notable names are Allen Robinson II and David Montgomery. Also, that O-line... not great.

5 Carolina The Carolina Panthers are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that competes in the National Football League.

The Panthers are lucky to not be higher. Christian McCaffrey is unlike any other back in the league. He had over 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving last year. But CMC can only take them so far. DJ Moore had a decent season, but they need more from him.

I like Teddy Bridgewater, and Matt Rhule was a good coach at Baylor. Now, how will that translate? On top of that, the O-line is abysmal. Last year they gave up a league-high 58 sacks and a second-worst 75 hurries.

6 Miami The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football franchise located in the Miami metropolitan area.

Last year, the offense was not great. The Dolphins' O-line was without a doubt the worst in the league. They at least made some moves to fix it with Ereck Flowers, Austin Jackson, and Robert Hunt in the draft. Miami also got their guy in Tua Tagovailoa. The jury's still out on if he'll start this upcoming season, but even if not, Ryan Fitzpatrick has proven he's a solid veteran option who can always get more out of the talent around him. Just look at last year as an example.

Matt Breida and Jordan Howard should help the run game. DeVante Parker shows promise, but this is a very shaky offense at best. I'd say they need at least a year to develop first.

7 New York (Jets) The New York Jets are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area.

On paper, Sam Darnold had a better year than 2018, but this is a guy who's a year away from the bust label. To be fair, that O-line is hot garbage. There are some pieces like Frank (refuses to retire) Gore, Le'Veon Bell, Breshad Perriman, and Jamison Crowder, but do you trust Adam Gase to properly utilize these pieces?

Mekhi Becton should help give Darnold protection, but it's not nearly enough, as most of their free agent acquisitions were underwhelming. I can't trust this team at all.

8 New York (Giants) The New York Giants are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area.

The Giants are in the same boat as their brother, the Jets. Daniel Jones was overall meh but had potential. Saquon Barkley had a down year, but assuming he's healthy, he can be dangerous again. Darius Slayton could step up for the Giants, but otherwise very little stands out.

Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate are dependable but tapped out in terms of potential. They won't raise the offense's overall stock. Not to mention, their O-line is hot garbage and will take time to develop. Daniel Jones could be successful, but nothing stops a QB's growth like forcing them to run for their life. Protect Danny Dimes at all costs.

9 Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that competes in the National Football League. Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with 6 which currently stands today.

The good news for Pittsburgh is Big Ben is back. The bad news is he may not be the same as he was before. No AB or Le'Veon stings, but James Conner and JuJu make up for it, kind of. We all know that Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges are pathetic options, but Ben Roethlisberger knows how to run an offense at the very least. The Steelers may have to rely more on defense than offense.

10 Los Angeles The Los Angeles Rams are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Just making the cut for me is the Rams. Unlike a lot of other teams here, they have talent. Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods were among the most productive receiving duos in the NFL. Both had 90-plus catches and over 1,100 yards. Tight end Tyler Higbee had a breakout season with 69 catches, 734 yards, and three touchdowns. Josh Reynolds showed he can be the third option. Cam Akers is a mystery box.

The problem is the man under center, Jared Goff. Let me be clear: he's serviceable at best, but other times it's like, what on earth happened? The offensive line doesn't help matters either. Neither the draft nor free agency brought reinforcements as cap restrictions and limited draft capital led to few opportunities. They are basically hoping self-improvement will dig them out of the hole.

Throw in the fact that all three of their division rivals have a better offense, and it doesn't exactly spark confidence. Enjoy the fall back to mediocrity.
