They won 14 games last year with a QB who wasn’t considered an NFL starter before O’Connell worked with him (he’s at best gonna look like Derek Carr in Seattle) and the roster got better compared to last year, and the QB is a lot more promising. If McCarthy is even a top 20 QB this team wins 11-12 games.
Yeah but 2023 had so many things go wrong, with both Kirk and JJ going down, as well as them just being crazy unlucky in close games that year. Just hard to project that kinda thing. I try not to factor in stuff like the Vikings being an every other year team, or the NFC East never repeating a winner, stuff like that.
