Vikings #1 QB-friendly team
No surprise there. But what might surprise a few are the grades he gave them...
Per @FB_FilmAnalysis
He ranked the #Vikings as No. 1 in how QB-friendly they are. Here were the grades:
Pass blocking: B
Run game: B
Weapons: A
Play-caller: A-
Defense: A-
"Ultimately, the potential for a long-term partnership with O’Connell and Jefferson makes the Vikings the top destination for a young QB. The Vikings also play in a dome, which is conducive to passing."

Here’s how I'd grade them:
Pass blocking: B-
Run game: C+
Weapons: A+
Play-caller: A-
Defense: C

Wow. Just wow. Must be assuming everything that went wrong last year was on Mattison.
I agree with most of yours, but until they prove they can run the ball, I'd grade them a D+ to maybe a C-.

Agree. I think they might be overrating Aaron Jones a little. I love that we have him, and think he's a pretty big upgrade over Mattison, but he is 29 and injury prone. And while our line pass blocked pretty well last year, they didn't run block very well at all.

Not just that, but the facilities, a major metro area for activities and lifestyle, stable ownership, etc. I mean being a player in Jacksonville, Green Bay or even Detroit to a lesser extent is just brutal from a lifestyle perspective. And I think playing inside in a cold weather city is huge.
A rookie QB coming into Minnesota will be set up for success. Zero doubt about it.
