SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Pro Football Focus recently released its ranking of the NFL's offenses, and the Vikings came in 11th, surprisingly ahead of teams such as the Bears, Falcons and Cowboys.

The receivers, which included tight ends, came in at 12th. But you can probably figure out what the missing piece is in their eyes; they ranked the team's quarterback group 27th in the NFL. But it brings up an intriguing thought: How good will this offense be if the Vikings figured out their quarterback situation?
