Here are Cousins' target shares over 10% in his 3 seasons as starter. Note: Other people attempted passes in his first two seasons. So target share from his passes may not be 100% accurate, but we're only talking about 12 extra passes in 2015 and 1 extra pass in 2016, so it's minimal. Also keep in mind, Vikings QBs threw 526 passes last year. 2015 (543) Reed 114 (20.9%) in 14 games Garcon 111 (20.4%) in 16 games Crowder 78 (14.4%) in 16 games 2016 (606) Garcon 114 (18.8%) in 16 games Jackson 100 (16.5%) in 15 games Crowder 99 (16.3%) in 16 games (9 starts) Reed 89 (14.7%) in 12 games 2017 (540) Crowder 103 (19.1%) in 15 games Doctson 78 (14.4%) in 16 games Davis 69 (12.8%) in 16 games Grant 65 (12.0%) in 16 games (7 starts) Thompson 54 (10.0%) in 10 games (1 start)

I personally don't have any problem with these rule changes. Safety addressed, without significantly altering the play imo.

Jets QB room getting a little lighter

Well it's ridiculous for a lot of reasons. Like how players only giving their top 20 doesn't really give a great indication either, nor does only polling a small percentage of players. And Rodgers will still be on it. Jimmy G was (5 games), JJ Watt was (5 games), Odell Beckham was (4 games).

Right, but if he earned the incentives for playing time, one could assume he's playing enough (and performing well enough) to affect the comp pick formula. Snap counts and production ARE factored into it.

Makes sense. I like that we'll have new blood in the Super Bowl stadium game. I feel like it's always the same 5-10 cities on rotation. A few have slipped into the rotation for one game because of a new stadium, but otherwise I feel like it's always the same hosts. Since I started following the NFL (latest Cowboys-Steelers game), three cities have hosted the game three times and another three have hosted it twice. That's six cities hosting 16 of 23 games.

It's about 2017, but NFL Network then frames it as the best going into this season. QBs naturally seem to get a bump. Just for a point of reference, in the list last offseason there were 12 QBs in the top 51 and 16 in the entire list of 100. Right on pace, as Keenum was the fifth name that's been unveiled so far this year. Gotta say, I don't love that they start compiling these lists before the season is even over. At least that's what it sounded like from Keenum's.

Since I started paying pretty close attention to the Twins again early last year, Eddie has been my favorite player by far. Just so well-rounded! Oh, and Berrios was straight FILTHY last night!

Keenum was 51

While comp values aren't technically based on incentives, playing time is factored into the equation. And up to 72% of Teddy's incentives are based solely on playing time, with the rest based on on-field performance.

Was just thinking about how the Vikings, Twins, Wolves, Wild and Lynx all have Minnesota natives in key roles on their rosters.

YES!

There's one area of Cousins that I've really been impressed with the more I watch. I've watched a few different games, and one of the things that stands out is how his passes are almost always on time and on target. That was one of the growing frustrations with Keenum. Sure, he completed passes, but they didn't always allow for maximum yardage because the receiver had to wait for the ball, jump for the ball, dive for the ball, etc. Also worth noting: Cousins played against many of the league's top defenses (Vikings, Broncos, Cardinals, Seahawks, Chargers, Eagles x2), and came out with a pretty good year. Much tougher schedule than we played last year imo.

I've been going through my DVR'd games a bunch too.
