Press release from Vikings Territory:

The boldest offseason move in the NFC West was made by the Los Angeles Rams, who acquired veteran QB Matthew Stafford in a trade with the Detroit Lions. Seattle has one of the best QBs in the game and both Arizona and San Francisco have recently-drafted franchise signal-callers, but the NFC West’s story in 2021 will be dictated by the level of success the Rams experience at the hands of Stafford.  

—————————-  

The most talented roster in the division is in Los Angeles. The 49ers are right there, but let’s see how some of their difference makers bounce back from injuries. Seattle has that championship mettle that makes them hard to bet against. Arizona has an up-and-comer at QB and has done a good job of adding veteran talent in the last several months, namely WR AJ Green and DL JJ Watt. 

In looking at the schedules, it’s the Rams who have a chance to take control early in the season. They host the Chicago Bears and travel to play the Indianapolis Colts in the first two weeks before hosting Tampa Bay and Arizona in consecutive weeks. A showdown with Seattle is set for Week 5. That’s not an “easy” schedule by any stretch, but it’s more manageable than the other three teams in the division.
