Fail.

Tarkenton wouldn't have been any good without one Bud Grant. Witness his short excursion to NYGTown.

Eller, Foreman, Marshall, and Page were pretty good, too.

His 5 year excursion to the Giants? In which he made the probowl 4 times? You could say that about a lot of QBs, they wouldn't have been as good without such-and-such. Eh, I guess a Top 10 all time QB is nothing without a coach...especially considering the two years after Tarkenton left for NY, the Vikes stunk and that upon his return he took them to three straight superbowls.

The Vikings made the playoffs 4 straight years prior to Tarkenton's return with 1 Super Bowl appearance. Then missed the playoffs his first year back. Then made the playoffs and lost 3 more Super Bowls in his last 6 years.

Man, Tarkenton sucked...even vikings fans make him sound like Rex Grossman. :lol:


... I forgot about the litany of other Vikings QB greats who have led them to multiple Superbowls. Not only that, but the other Viking QB greats who won a Superbowl for them.
