Thread: Vikings All Time Team

This post made me think back to watching Jesse Solomon play. He came in either undrafted or a very low pick and became an excellent LB until he tore his knee up. Not sure he can make the list but should be an honorable mention.

I hated seeing Soloman go to the Cowboys...

Ok, fair. I just cannot believe that Studwell did not make it.

Wasn't Krause a SS?

Carter should be in front of Moss. Other than that...good.

~ Yeah, no Studwell? No Del Rio?

I'm sure I missed a couple players here and there.....

All time suck list.. HAHAH. Don't forget Demitrious Underwood. 1st pick in the draft, and didn't even make it to training camp. =/

It is hard to pick all time greats. How about the whole PPE teams from the 70's?
It is a team game. The Purple People Eaters were one of the best D-lines in NFL history even without any SB wins.
Too bad they went up against some of the best teams in NFL history as well. What if they went up against the Seahawks? How about the Broncos with Elway? And the Pats?
My favorite players were Cris Carter, Fran the Man, John Randle, Matt Blair, Studwell, Alan Page, Jim Marshall, Cris Doleman, Paul Krause, Bobby Bryant, Ahmad, Dave Osborne, Bill Brown, Steve Jordan to name a few. There are many, many more.
Not so fav Vikes. Darrin Nelson(sorry DNG), Underwood, Hershel,Dumbpepper, Alexander, Corey Fuller to name a few.
