LOL! Then how does he account for last year's Vikes?
Edit: I just read his goofy criteria, glanced over his list and decided that last year's list might be more interesting. With his "four-proinged approach" he had Dallas at #1, SF at #19 (tied with Miami), Baltimore at #21, Minnesota at #27, Seattle at #30 and Washington at #32. It's time for a new approach, Pete!
...no kidding. This guy might want to consider a career change. lol. Wow.
And, of course, every year the Cowboys are always serious contenders...just until, ya know...they're really not. Geez. The media wants the Cowboys to win it so badly. It's so obvious. Poor guys.
That is all "Cult of the QB". The Vikings will never get any respect until Ponder puts up better numbers. Apparently the Cult is in denial that we went 10-6 with our bench warmer QB. Can't upset their narrative that QB is everything in this league.
I'd say we are easily a top 15 club in the league and probably top 10, barring major injuries. If Ponder turns the corner and the improvements at WR pan out we could become very 2011 Giants-esque in that we'll be a well balanced team with ability in all 3 phases of the game.
As an aside, I think losing Crabtree is really going to curb Kaepernick if SF.

Nope. There are probably some "Cult of the QB" adherents who still can't accept that the Ravens actually won the Super Bowl with a QB who passed for less than 4000 yards! They're just blocking it out.
