The NFL announced the 10 quarterbacks that will be on its all-time team to celebrate 100 seasons.
The only quarterback with ties to the Vikings to make the team was Brett Favre, which means Fran Tarkenton, who was a finalist, did not make the team.
But Favre played two seasons with the Vikings and gosh darnit, we will claim him!
The other quarterbacks to make the team were Sammy Baugh, Tom Brady, John Elway, Otto Graham, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Roger Staubach and Johnny Unitas.
Favre played two seasons with the Vikings in 2009 and 2010. His 2009 season was magical as he threw for 4,202 yards and 33 touchdowns while leading the Vikings to the NFC Championship.
Favre led the NFL in passing yards twice and touchdowns four times. With that, Favre also led the NFL in interceptions three seasons and his 336 career interceptions are first in NFL history by a wide margin (69).
Favre made it over players like Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. Personally, I think Brees probably has more of a case than Rodgers, but it really doesn’t matter, does it?
Players to spend time with the Vikings to make the all-time team include Favre, Jan Stenerud, Alan Page, John Randle, Randall McDaniel and Randy Moss.
