Reply to comment by tensigh in [OC] Final Animated NFL Ratings for the 2022 Season by Bischrob

SF was 4-3 before acquiring arguably the best offensive player in the NFL, then lost to KC before their 10 straight. Their 3rd string qb might not be the biggest reason they're winning. Replacing Trey Lance and acquiring McCaffrey are most likely the reasons their offense got better and had more impact on winning.

Lance has almost no impact on the rating. He started week 1 and was hurt early in the 1st quarter in week 2

True, they shifted their offense once they acquired McCaffrey. But their defense has always surpassed their offense this year so in their case you could say their defense had a bigger impact than their offense. At least, looking at this graph that could be a conclusion. Watching the games it's clear their offense has had a great psychological edge, but that isn't reflected in the numbers in this graph since the defense rating is consistently higher than the offense.

*3-3 but otherwise generally yeah. Also Trent Williams got healthy around then
