We're all kind of forgetting about Dalvin Cook, but I can assure you that our coaching staff hasn't.

On the other hand it is less likely they will have a drop off. In other words Cousins is more likely to produce the same stats they had last year than had Keenum would have had in replicating them. For that reason I wish they would have kept Keenum. Also I think Cousins may have a better chance at making Diggs and Theilen improve.

Still, it's not the QB position that worries me about the vikings. It is their defense #1 and the potential impact that Dalvin Cook could have if he comes back strong. People say its a passing game and the running game doesn't matter but the quality of your QB has a lot to do with that. An elite QB certainly can make a running game less important but if your QB is not elite a strong running game can help him immensely. I think the cowboys are in the same boat as the vikings. and average or maybe slightly above average QB is helped greatly by a much better than average running back.

Fear their defense. That's what put Aaron out of commission last year. Hope that our new makeup on offense allows us to attack it better.

I think Cousins is an upgrade though, consistency here is key... personally, and this is difficult, the Vikings are the better team on paper. Not in every position, especially QB, but overall, a better team.

QB - GB (Not Close)
RB - Draw
WR - Slight GB
OL - MN
DL - GB
LB - MN (Not Close)
CB - MN (Not Close)
S - MN
