Pro Football Weekly has come out with their "Power Rankings" for the NFC for 2008. They have the Vikes rated 8th (above Green Bay) and, they say, if Donovan McNabb was playing for them they are Super Bowl contenders.

As a FAN.....I like what it says....
IF there is a QB upgrade, things look up....if there is not a QB upgrade....they still are looking up given the experience gained last year....
sounds right to me!
btw, is it almost time for the pre-season to start yet?
Those are overall NFL Power Rankings... not just NFC. I'm surprised we're that high.
Though he should change this line:
Browns Biggest strength: Offensive line. The Joe Thomas-Eric Steinbach tandem on the left side is the envy of 31 other teams.
to:
Biggest strength: Offensive line. The Joe Thomas-Eric Steinbach tandem on the left side is the envy of 30 other teams.
Too high
I could see us around 15th MAYBE starting out.. But a top 10 team already?
When there hasn't really been any changes anywhere

Not very envious.. But Joe Thomas is better then McKinnie..
But Hutch is better then Steinbach
It's close
Pretty good list. I can't argue with anything he says. I definetly think the vikings are in the top half going into 08, hopefully they can live up to the hype.
like i said in another thread
we should not be that high
we should be around 12-14
maybe after the draft and FA we can get top 10, but not now

Plus I think he is giving us that rank based on a QB upgrade.
Honestly, I think it is a little high, but not much.
