FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Four Downs: NFC West
When it came to addressing obvious weaknesses, few teams did a better job this offseason than the Cardinals. In free agency, they added potential starters in cornerback Antonio Cromartie, left tackle Jared Veldheer, and tight end John Carlson. In the draft, they spent a first-rounder on safety Deone Bucannon, who should be a starter from day one. And then in the second, they found tight end Troy Niklas, an old school physical blocker/short-route type. They even found a quarterback of the future in Logan Thomas. As a bonus, they get healthier in 2014: Jonathan Cooper, last year's first-round pick who missed his entire rookie season after a broken leg, is expected to return to the lineup. The Cardinals won ten games last year and were the only team to beat the Seahawks in Seattle, and on paper they're even better now.

Graphic: Interceptions, Passing Touchdowns, NY/A, and Wins From 1950 to 2013 — FootballPerspective.com
It’s fun to play with weighted averages to see how the NFL has (or hasn’t) evolved. For example, the Giants led the league with interceptions: as a result, 5.8% of all interceptions thrown in the NFL last year were by Eli Manning or Curtis Painter. Since the Giants went 7-9 in 2013, that means 5.8% of all interceptions were thrown by a team that had a 0.438 winning percentage. Meanwhile, Kansas City and San Francisco each threw just 8 interceptions, or 1.6% of all NFL interceptions, and the Chiefs and 49ers had an average winning percentage of 0.719.
Colin Kaepernick Lands Huge Extension from 49ers - Over the Cap
The 49ers and Colin Kaepernick agreed to a massive contract extension that puts him in the upper echelon of the position. Per reports by Albert Breer the base value of the contract is worth $19 million a season with a maximum value of $21 million per season.
