I always felt the Vikings were the best team in the NFC because of the stronger level of competition they faced this year a lot of people forget the Eagles, Patriots, and Steelers had some of the easiest schedules in the league this year yet the Vikings still finished with the exact same record as those 3.

I don't think he's quite an MVP caliber QB, but he's definitely a big upgrade on Foles and I believe they'd be clearly the class of the NFC (rather than the coinflip I think it is now). 

Wentz is definitely overrated. i have been saying him having the 15th ranked passing attack, vs a top 5 rushing defense and rushing offense contributed to his success. Usually, the MVP has a top 5 passing attack, because he is dealing, or in Cam's case, the top offense a few years ago for the panthers when he was dealing with his arms and legs.

Eagles were a top offense, but it was due to their rushing, not Wentz. How are you the MVP when your arm nor legs have your team in top five offensive Territory? He was the leader in TDs because the rushing and defense got him there. If his arm was getting them in the endzone, no way would they be ranked 15th in passing when he was under center.

 

We seen what happens when him or Dak are asked to win it with their arms. In KC and SEA, Wentz was asked to come from behind...couldn't do it. He is definitely the MVP when things are going great.

Their schedule is a bit skewed. They got the Packers twice, but didn't face Rodgers in 1 of them and hurt Rodgers early in the other one.

I agree though, their schedule was much harder than the Eagles and Steelers. Pats had to play our division, so they at least had to play several playoff teams.

The Packers weren't that bad without Rodgers this yet tbh.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
