swede700 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 In the end, it's never going to be as fun as it coulda been with TO there. But, of course, he had to be TO and flake out on the HOF, just as he did on his teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 After being elected to the hall of fame in February, Moss said he wished he could have played his entire career in Minnesota. Moss: “I think for me to be able to put a jacket on just speaks about the journey and the people that helped me get along, the people that helped me get there along the way, and also the people that I’ve touched. I wanted to retire here and raise my family, I hold a special place in my heart for the Vikings.” https://www.twincities.com/2018/08/01/wr-randy-moss-enters-hall-of-fame-with-special-place-in-my-heart-for-vikings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 If the Wilfs had owned the team when Moss was drafted, he would have been there the entire time. (But, then again, they might never have drafted him). Unfortunately, Red sold him off before he sold the team off. That should never have happened.

vike daddy Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Moss: “I get to put on a gold jacket regardless of the stuff that was written, the things that were said about me throughout my whole career. And the thing about it is, it brainwashed a whole lot of football fans out in the world. I think it was very unfair to me. I think it was unfair to my family. Being able to look back and reflect back, man, I wouldn’t change it. I just wanted to play football. Now that I look back and reflect back and seeing all these cameras and all these positive stories written about me, it’s still not fair and I’m still not pleased with it.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/08/04/randy-moss-believes-he-could-still-play/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I can't help me think of what Moss would have become if he had someone like Zimmer coaching him after Denny. Tice seemed like a coach who was worried about being a "players' coach" and being buddy-buddy with his players. It seemed Randy ran rough shot over him (as did the rest of the team) and then Red sold him off to Oakland for Napoleon Harris and what would become the WOAT bust WR in franchise history (?). I think Zimmer would have been amazing for Moss' career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Marshall was soooooo good, my favorite defensive player from back then. he was overshadowed by Eller and Page at the time, but was a force to be reckoned with. he was one of the first defensive ends who relied on speed and athleticism instead of bull force. very instinctive, very intelligent too. in many ways, a Jared Allen type player.

Guest Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I personally think the thing that has kept Marshall out of the HOF all these years has been the low profile he kept when playing and after he retired. EVERY year you heard about Kramer...and from Kramer. Not so with Jim. It's time for him to join Page and Eller in the HOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
