Worst Vikings Quarterback

[DTro]

From THIS LIST. Who's the worst?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Vikings_starting_quarterbacks

At this point, it has to be T-Jack.

Jim M gives his a run for his money, but comes up short.

[Scott K]

I would say that among those Qb T-Jack has accomplished the least. Some of those Qb would have done alot worse if it wasnt for the receiving core that they had to throw too though!

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Off that list I'd have to go T-Jac right now. I swore Sean Salisbury started a few games back in 94 or so? If he were on the list, he'd have my vote as worst

[Scott K]

I think this list is for only the QB who started the season as the starter!

[DTro]

Yes, going into the "hopeful" season

Didn't Spurgeon Wynn start a game? He'd have to take the cake.

[Scott K]

We have had a few prize Qb play for us over the years.

They say Wade Wilson still hasn't made it home since he left the Vikings...someone painted a goal line in his driveway.

[MUSKYMAN1011]

Jeff George was AWSOME as the Vikings QB!

[DTro]

They say Wade Wilson still hasn't made it home since he left the Vikings...someone painted a goal line in his driveway.

He was a one time Pro Bowler with the Vikings in 1988 and finished his career completing 1,391 passes on 2,428 attempts for 17,283 yards and 99 touchdowns. Wilson led the Vikings to three playoff appearances in the late 80's. The Vikings advanced to the NFC Championship Game in 1987 after a tremendous upset of the 13-2 San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round, but finally succumbed 17-10 to the eventual Super Bowl XXII champion Washington Redskins.

I'd take him right now

[Cicada]

I know, I just remember that being the joke when he was here.

[bassNspear]

My vote would be for TJ. The guy just dont have what it takes IMO

[DTro]

and a good one. I chukled

[UdeLakeTom]

I think in '70 or '71 they went with 3 different starters...Cuozzo, Norm Snead, and I forget the other one.

That had to be the worse bunch. They all had experience, TJ is still new at the helm.

[eyepatrol]

I'd have to say TJack for now. If 'ol Steve Dille would have been on that list, I would have picked him easily.

[Shack]

Funny how this goes

After an amazing game this Sunday and a couple more good ones after, will TJ be a point of trash talk then

I am just saying

I thought McMahon has a pooch season with the Vikes.

Maybe not to bad:

T-Jack for sure. A right handed QB throwing left handed might even be a better option.

[bassislife]

TJ is the one. He's a joke. Doesn't have what it takes in the NFL. Some Hight school QB's could show this guy up.

[Sandmannd]

Right now TJ, I hope he proves it wrong though.

I wouldn't go this far at all, but he certainly isn't in the top couple.

[bassislife]

It's called sarcasm, hence the . Of course he's better than high school QB's, but he doesn't even come close to most if not all of the other NFL QB's.

[CrappiesNCats]

quite a few missing from the list: archie manning, salisbury, wynn, frerotte, to name a few. salisbury would take the cake if he made it

[Double D]

How soon we forget Kelly Holcomb and Brooks Bollinger from last year.

Others not to forget: Bubby Brister, Bob Lee, Gino Toretta all started I think at least 1 game.

I'm sure there are more; let's hear 'em!!

DD

[UdeLakeTom]

Wasn't Bob Lee the guy back with Cuozzo and Snead??

[mike morris]

Yes, going into the "hopeful" season

Didn't Spurgeon Wynn start a game? He'd have to take the cake.

None of those QBs were crowned the starter before the season started (two years in a row!!). The list Darren put up was just who the team went into the season with as their starter.

I'd compare TJoke to some of those other fellas if he went in to replace an injured started somewhere mid-season...maybe learn something, actually compete for a starting job the next year...instead of having it handed to him.

Unfortunately, TJoke was crowned the starter last year and this year after showing no NFL-caliber skills whatsoever.

There are probably 15 backup quarterbacks in the league, and at least 30 retired ones, who could play better tomorrow than TJoke will, if someone would make the call.

I don't understand why the team would spend 30 mil plus on a D end, plus the HUGE salaries they're paying for an O-line, plus all day AP, and then settle for such a weak quarterback. Honestly, pick any free agent veteran and you'd have a better option for TODAY. By the time TJoke shows any skillz out there, we'll have the other players on the team either leave town for a competetive team or retire. These guys are all very competitive and nobody likes losing.

History has shown that even moderately capable quarterbacks can win games (Trent Dilfer??), let's go get one NOW instead of HOPING that TJoke turns around.

My prediction is that the vikes go 6-10 this year at best...hopefully that's enough to get Chilly and Tavaris fired so we can have a fighting chance.
