Last week, PurplePTSD detailed NBC Sports’ Peter King’s lowly opinion of the Minnesota Vikings. King pegged the Vikings as the NFL’s ninth-worst team heading into 2021.
Minnesota wasn’t even the league’s ninth-worst team in 2020, so the forecast seemed bizarre — mainly because the Vikings offseason transactions indicate improvement, not obvious regression.
In his power rankings from last week, King wrote:
“The annual Kirk Cousins referendum is getting so tired. Cousins has played small in some big games, to be sure. And for the Vikings to draft Kellen Mond because they’re tired of being tethered to a gigantic quarterback cap number every year is okay.
