SteelKing728 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Create the best possible Vikings team with a few stipulations: 1. Had to play at least 2 seasons for us 2. This player had to have actually played for us that season (you cant have prime Favre. If you pick him, its assumed you mean 09-10 Favre when he was a Viking) Roster: QB: RB(2): FB: WR(3): TE: LT: LG: C: RG: RT: DE(3): DT(2): OLB(2): MLB: CB(2): S(2): K: P: LS: KR: PR: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisplacedViking Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 QB: Sir Francis Tarkenton by a wide margin RB(2): Adrian (He's loose!) Peterson & Chuck Foreman (likely Smith had he not retired early) FB: Bill Boom Boom Brown WR(3): Moss and Carter easily, 3rd is a toss up between a bunch, I loved Sammy White so I pick him TE: Steve Jordan LT: Steussie LG: McDaniel C: Tinglehoff RG: Hutch (I know he played on the left, but HOF) RT: Ron Yary DE(3): This is tough to limit to 3.....Eller, Doleman, Allen DT(2): Page and Randel OLB(2): Matt Blair and Barr MLB: Siemen but Kendricks is gaining ground CB(2): Bobby Bryant and Xavier S(2): also tough to limit to 2 but Krause couldn't tackle well so.... Smith and Browner K: Cox P: Coleman LS: sorry, I don't really have an opinion KR: Patterson if we just talk returns, but I pick Harvin for offense and returns PR: similar to kr, Sherels for returns, but gimme Anthony Carter for offense and returns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favre may have only played 2 seasons for the Vikings, but he did win a Super Bowl during his career and his 2009 season was better than any single season Tarkenton had. If I'm building the best Vikings team to win one game, I'm picking Favre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, some of them seem to think that you have to have watched them play to put them on the list. I never saw either one of them actually play, since I was far too young, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be automatics. I never saw Jim Brown play either, but that doesn't mean he can't be considered the best RB of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm building the best Vikings team to win one game, I'm picking Favre. You can't really compare what Tarkenton did to Favre from a straight statistical view, because the eras and rules (and workout regimens) were so different...to the point, they really could be considered different games. I bet Tarkenton, under the rules that Favre played under, could have been just as effective as him. In fact, if you look up Tarkenton on pro-football-reference, who is Tarkenton's comparison? Brett Favre. Edited May 19, 2020 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
