  • Love this tribute to my great uncle fran!!!! Never met him but he must be really cool since he was an nfl quarterback!!!

  • NFL FILMS BEST EVER TEAMS BEST QUARTERBACKS EVER ETC!

    I never seen Fran on any of those NFL Films

    recent film on NFL Channel Top Clutch Quarterbacks ever no Fran in there??????????

  • When he retired he had 52 more passing touchdown then Johnny Unitas at the time a record

    6764 more passing yards then JU again a record at the time.

    3674 rushing yards before any QB ever had a thought of scrambling. But he had one flaw or There super bowls that is

  • how much longer did he play then JU the guy threw screen passes 90% of the time,how can you even put him in a discussion with JU!

    wow

  • Don't try to obfuscate the fact that Gayboy Francis was an asshole loser and could not even get into the HOF until after the first ballot.

    Bottom line is that he cannot be considered one of the elite or best QB's ever with that tainted resume. He messed up in football and he messed up in life.

    Self promoters like Gay Francis are self promoters for a reason - no one else will promote them or their agenda because everyone knows what they're about.

    Case closed, Miss Fence Post.

    Hahahahaha.

  • Ok case closed, shall we talk about that homo Dick Dale??? LMAO

  • You would be dangerous if you actually knew something substantial, but you're like a 12 year old when you get a kick out of someone because their name (Dick) reminds you of your mother's genitalia.

    Dick Dale did the soundtrack for one of the most famous movies ever, but you don't know shit without looking it up on google, and therein lies the rub - - -

    As well as the reason your personality and intellect reminds everyone of an unpolished brown shoe with horse shit on it.

  • Dick Dale is an old has been who likes the Italian sausage up the pooper just like you.

  • The FACT remains...

    Francis Gayboy Tarkenton was the only QB to LOSE 3 Superbowls.

    Nice job not saying a peep about Cris Carter after your reasoning was outed as being flawed up the wazoo like it is with Gay Franny.

    Neither of those posers got in the HOF on the first ballot, and that's a FACT.

    Class Dismissed.

  • Jim Kelly lost 4 super bowls pea brain.

    Get back under your bed where you belong, you are like taking candy from a baby.

  • So what makes you question Tarkenton's leadership? Provide some facts here.

    Have you spoken to any of his teamates, or is it just dumping on him since you obvioulsly disdain him.

    Leadership comes from perfomance, as in letting you performance do the talking and others will give you respect. His stat's speak for themselves.

  • Tarkenton's career was was almost even greater I like to say. His absolute BEST years where spent with the lowly Giants. It was in 67' when the Vikings started to really turn things around and eventually came into thery're own. Fran was in NY by then and Kapp came in and was superb. Unfortatunately, he too departed and once again the Vikings experienced an " almost " period in the early 70's.They had everything, but a QB.

  • Tarkenton had the leadership ability of two squirrels going after each others nuts.

  • I see you are getting schooled by yet another guy out here. Get you mind off cock and state some facts for once.

  • Fact: You have grown accustomed to sucking on your mother's wang.

    Fiction: Tarkenton was a great QB

    Fact: You are dumber than a brown shoe with no polish.

    Fiction: You know your football.

    Fact: You don't know shit about any sport - especially football.

    Fiction: You are not a nut sniffer.

  • Fact. I would have a live football trivia contest with your dumb ass any day of the week.

    Fact. You don't have the balls to take me up on it.

  • BTW Dick Dale swallows. Dick Dale??? LMAO.

  • You are dumber than a fence post.

  • Leadership?

    He led the Vikings to 3 superbowl visits. He may have lost them, but how many quarterbacks actually get to the superbowl? And while I am sure you are a Dan Marino fan, he did not win any either.

    After football, he founded Tarkenton Software, a successful program generator company. He succeeded on and off the field.

    Not elected first time = bad? How about Cris Carter? He will probably not get in on his 2nd try either since Jerry Rice will be in that class.

    These are facts

  • Nice try, moron. Cris Carter had other issues - notably a huge drug problem - which kept him out on the first try.

    Tarkenton had no such excuse. He was just an arrogant asshole who couldn't cut the mustard, and he would have been in Dawg Heaven (Georgia) to have had 1/10 the records Dan Marino had.

    Instead, Tarkenton has gone down in history as one of the biggest Superbowl losers because he could not win the big one in 3 tries.

    In other words, he struck out.

  • "arrogant asshole"...."couldn't cut the mustard"... blah blah blah... Facts please!

    Fact: Getting to three superbowls requires leadership.

    Fact: 9× Pro Bowl selection.

    Fact: 6× All-Pro selection

    Fact: His number was retired by the vikings.

    Fact: He was a NFL MVP and NFL Offensive player of the year.

    Fact: He was the first "scrambling quarterback". He paved the way for Young, Favre, McNabb, etc.

    I am done wasting my time with you. You can't even carry an argument....

  • It really is like debating a 2nd grader. He has nothing to back up his accusations other than his mouth. Anyone that knows football knows Tarkenton was one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

  • One of the most over rated of all time! 90% of his completions where less then 20 yards,he played in a weak division back then,when the Vikes who where also over rated got in the big game they looked like a practice squad! I can be a great scrambler too if I had the Steelers chasing me all over the backfield! LOL!

  • More passing and rushing yards than anyone in the history of the game when he retired. 9 pro bowls, take your beating like a man, Pappy.

  • we could line up lots more neg Facts if you want?

  • Tark Suckington was a 3rd Tier QB at best. Not even in the discussion of top 10 all time. Couldn't even carry the jockstrap of Elway, Montana, Marino, Favre, Brady, Young, Griese, Warner, Roethlisberger, Bradshaw, Unitas, Staubach, Aikman, Starr or either of the Manning brothers.

    He was a buffoon - just like that asshole Topcat42 - I mean Queerboy.

  • And thats what makes you am imbecile. The more you talk the more you make my point. Keep yapping.

  • BTW The Mavericks suck cock.

  • Hahahahahahahahaha. You have a brain the size of a pea, plus you like like Pee Wee Herman. The Mavericks I'm referring to is a surfing spot you idiot. Now eat shit and die, you dumbass creep.

    Fran Crappington is the biggest piece of donkey shit to ever play in the NFL, and everyone knows it. Even a retard like you.

  • Surfer dude, go smoke a joint and eat a big bag of chips while you wait for your welfare check. Mavericks suck.

  • Dick Dale, Baaa Haaa, he swallows man juice just like you, LMAO, Dick Fucking Dale.

  • You really have no idea who Fran Tarkenton is, do you? I have never liked the Vikings, but I have to agree he was one of the greatest quarterbacks. Two of your "greatest" quarterbacks also through more imcompletions and interceptions than anyone else in history. Everyone has faults. But as a player, Tarkenton was in that group.

  • Tark Bitchenton is not even in the top 15 QB's of all time and the proof that he was never an elite quarterback is that he was not elected to the Hall of Fame until after the first ballot.

    That's how much of a crotch sniffer he was and is. Plus he's a notorious self promoter who screwed many people out of their life savings with his infomercial scams.

    Tarkenton is an asshole as a person and wasn't much better as a QB.

  • How about Cris Carter? By your math, he was not one of the top 15 WR's of all time either since he was not elected on the first try. And since Jerry Rice will be up for election next year, Cris Carter will not get in again. So does this drop him out of the top 100?

    But then, looking back at your comments, you really don't care about facts such as touchdowns and other statistics. You think "crotch sniffer" and "infomercial scams" are good arguments? Try retaking the 1st grade again...

  • Keep babbling bed wetter, you just keep proving my point.

  • your right!

  • No HOF on first ballot = Less than elite and not in category of best all time - not even close.

    Case closed and class dismissed.

  • 9 time pro bowler.

    6 time all pro

    1975 NFL MVP

    Retired with more passing and rushing yards than any quarterback before him.

    The end, you lose.

  • I seen him on the GIANTS choke champ just like in Super Bowls!

    Screen passes and running for his life!

  • You must have been choking your chicken at the time because the Giants sucked, he was the team. Stats don't lie Pappy, deal with it.

  • Fran Tarkenton, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

    KeepItRealPlease, Biggest imbecile of all time.

  • Lombardi was one of the greatest coaches of all time you zero. They named the super bowl trophy after him you idiot. You know nothing about football, you are an imbecile plain and simple.

  • Hahahahahahahahaha - what a moron you are, creepy boy.

    Lombardi also wasn't hailed by you as one of the best players in the history of the NFL, you dumbass homo.

    ROFLMAO @ "more dumber". You obviously don't have the sense God gave a cockroach or a fence post.

  • He couldn't even make it into the hall of fame on the first ballot. That's how "great" he was.

  • Vince Lombardi didn't make it on the first ballot either you banana brain. I mean this is like debating a 12 year old. Could you possibly be any more dumber?

  • Hahahahahahahahaha - that goofy-ass southern white boy never won shit.

  • What are you some Northern black boy? HOF loser, deal with it. Also considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. You lose.

  • That stupid queer can't deal with logic, can he?

  • Won more than you will ever win, dumb ass northern black boy.

  • You're not '"topcat" -

    You're COPY CAT

  • N E V E R W O N S H I T
  • 9 P R O B O W L S H O F
  • "topqueer42" could never counter the fact that Tark Suckington never won shit.

    And here's the reason he couldn't - - -

    He never won shit.

  • And that's exactly what I was doing - pointing out the FACT that Francis never won shit...

    Yet you argued about it. The FACT remains - he never won shit.

    You never won shit either. Case closed, dumbass.

  • I know I beat the shit out of you in this debate, princess.

    Sorry but you had it coming.

  • Fran Tarkenton didn't win shit, yet you try to obfuscate that fact by telling me I haven't won anything and comparing him to Ted Williams and Dan Marino.

    That's way too funny since the bottom line is Franny Girl never won shit, yet you're too much of a homo to figure that out.

  • What I did was point out FACTS. Ted Williams never won a championship, either did Dan Marino, Barry Sanders, Dan Fouts, Jim Kelly, and many other athletes because these are TEAM sports. One person on a 45 man team is not responsible for winning championships. If you want to look at individual accomplishments, Tarkenton has them all. 9 pro bowls, HOF, retired with more passing yards and touchdown passes and rushing yards then any quarterback before him. YOU LOSE.

  • Keep on beating off to pics of Gay Fran and Bill Russell.

  • Look what I have reduced you to, It's all you got left, fag jokes. Can the mommy jokes be far behind?

  • Haha. Now that you mention it, you look like one of those inbred dorks who stays inside all day long, with those gay headphones, and rooting for teams in the midwest who never won shit.

    Oh, and by the way - Tark Suckington is a lot like you...

    He never won shit.

  • While you hide under your beds cared shitless to show yourself.

    Oh by the way- Sir Francis Tarkenton 9 pro bowls and in the good old Hall Of Fame.

    Go praise Mark Rypian, lol.

  • In fact, no team from Minnesota ever won shit except for the Twins.

    Vikings - horrible

    Timberwolves - terrible

    Northstars - hahahahahaha

    Lynx - oops

    Wild - ditto

    Goofy Gophers - more yuks and chuckles

    Once again, Tarkenton never won shit.

  • Who gives a fuck dildo head, I'm from Massachusetts. Ever hear of the New England Patriots or Boston Red Sox or Boston Celtics or Boston Bruins?

    Once again you are a retarded loon.

  • GO YANKEES! LOL!

  • LOL Biggest chokers in the history of baseball! Only team ever to lose after being up 3-0 in a series, thanks to the RED SOX, LOL.

  • How many World Series Rings do Yanks Have?how many do the Red Sox have? stick to football, chokers lets not forget the Mets you remember that don't you??LOL!

    Sox are done this year,Loved it when Giants took out the Mighty Pats!

  • Let's compare shall we? Since I am a fact machine while you live in fantasy land.

    Celtics Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins.

    Knicks, Giants Jets, Yankees , Rangers.

    Baaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa!!!!!

  • you forgot Islanders!

    BaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a!!!!!

    cross Bruins and hockey off

    cross off the Pats they lost just 2yrs ago to Giants not last decade just 2 yrs alot of same guys still on both teams,Giants of NY ended your 16 game party?

    cross off Red Sox they will never catch the Yanks in titles and the Yanks are about to add another this year while the Sox die a slow death,you win with Celtics thats it!

  • Islanders??? They still have a team? Baaaaa Haaaaa Islanders? Patriots have been patying all decade Pappy! Best team in football, favored again this year Pappy. Bruins are going places, Red Sox in playoffs once again and the Celtics another title!

    How about the Jets, Rangers, Islanders, Knicks Pappy?

    LOL LOL LOL LOL

  • This is about Tark Suckington - not you and he never won shit.

  • Well you made it about me princess. You stated I have "gay headphones", banana brain. You area ll over the map here and I have squashed you like a grape.

  • My excuse? Repeat after me...

    Tarkenton didn't win shit.

  • Just as I figured, you are ashamed to show yourself out here, can't say that I blame you princess.

  • Tark Suckington is a lot like you in the sense that he never won shit. Here's the major difference, though. You ARE shit.

    And you never get laid - esp with those goofy looking headphones. What a dork!

  • At least I'm not ashamed to show myself out here princess, what's your excuse?

  • They all say they would trade in their HOF rings for Superbowl rings. Just ask Dan Marino.

    Tark Suckington is like you - he never in his life won shit.

    You're such a punk you can't even win a verbal sparring match with a woman. How does that feel, gay boy?

  • Yeah I know, and Fran Tarkenton's black teammates hated him, lol. Super bowlsare ateam effort, HOF is an individual achievement and Tarkenton is there. Pro bowls is an indivdual achievement and Tarkenton went to 9 of them. I understand you are a girl, you know sports as much as a girl. Now stick your tampon back in and be a good girl.

    Go praise Brad Johnson and Jeff Hostetler and Mark Rypian. Tell me that they were better than Tarkenton, It's pure comedy gold!

  • You're a goofy little bitch trying to argue against this immutable fact:

    Francis Queerington never won shit.

    Trent Dilfer won more, so Brad Johnson, Jeff Hostetler, and Mark Rypien.

    Deal with it, gayboy. Hahahahahahaha.

  • Who's in the HOF princess, Brad Johnson, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypien or Sir Frances Tarkenton?

    Suck on that for a while princess.

  • Like OkayImaCritic said, that homo didn't win shit.

  • Won more than you will ever live in life.

  • Hahahaha - that queerbitch "topcat42" just outed himself as the gayboy he really is.

  • Is that all you loons got when I destroy you, fag jokes?

  • I told you that you're like a little girl and you proved it. You always try to get in the last word.

    Francis Bitchington never won shit. Own it, Miss Retardo!

  • Hall of famer princess. You were wrong about everything and I made you look like a fool. Deal with it.

  • Once again you demonstrate the mind of a fool with your inability to grasp this very basic truth...

    Tark Sucknington didn't win shit.

  • LOL back to that I see. What happened with the "His black teammates hated him" or "He's not 6 feet tall" or "He has a gay name".

    Dumbest moron on you tube.

  • Dayumm. Looks like topqueer42 got all up in ImaCritic's grill and got his head busted.

    OkayImaCritic is a girl who knows her shit about sports and topbitch42 got his ass messed up by a woman. I can't stop laffin' about this.

  • Ohhhh so Okaylma is a broad. Well that makes sense, I thought it was just a guy who must have rode on the short bus as a kid. Thanks for filling me in, are you the girlfriend?

  • Here's the bottom line with Franny boy. He didn't win shit.

    It doesn't matter if he was 6-5 and 240 - he didn't win shit.

    It wouldn't have mattered if he was 1st team All Pro 15 times - the fact is he didn't win shit.

    It wouldn't have been a big deal if he had completed more than 58% of his passes (he didn't) because Gayboy Francis didn't win shit.

    Oh - and here's another thing...He didn't win shit.

  • LOL now it doesn't matter princess? You brought it up. Ted Williams, Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Charles Barkley, Tony Gwynn and on and on dopey. Football is a TEAM sport, believe it or not there are over 40 players on a team, I know you think their is just 1 person per team. Go listen to Ave Marie again it will cheer you up.

  • Tark Suckington is the epitome of a loser QB. Never could win the big one and his winning percentage was barely over .500, plus he was't even 6 feet tall.

    All the football people agree with me because he only made 1st team All Pro one lousy time, but that's what you'd expect from a guy with such a gay name.

    So, how was he the greatest QB of all time and only made 1st team All Pro once???

  • Well Let's see here princess, first you tried to claim his "black teammates" hated him and you couldn't back it up with nothing other than your mouth per usual.Now you say he wasn't 6 feet tall (although he was) can you be any more of a dope? LOL now you attack the name. You truly are a moron.

  • "So, how was he the greatest QB of all time and only made 1st team All Pro once?"

    Well let's see, he played in an era with Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, Bob Griese, Ken Stabler. Who did Young go up against?

    9 time pro bowler, meatball.

  • Steve Young was 10x the QB Tark Suckington was.

    Now, get off the crack pipe and take off your Chuck Foreman coke bottle glasses, dildo breath.

  • Just keep digging yourself a hole Ave Maria. Fran Tarkenton ranks higher than Steve Young with just about everyone that knows football but you obviously know shit other than some faggy Ave Marie song. I believe you took too many blows to the head just like Steve Young.

  • Tarkenton played when QB's actually got hit and were not protected like the primadonnas of the last 15 years.

  • Little girl "topfag" still can't get it right. Steve Young was MVP 3 times and won the Super Bowl.

    Dipwad Tark the Lark never won shit. Keep it up, moron. Let's see how much more crap you can get wrong.

  • Hey Ave Maria, Steve Young was a great quarterback just like Tarkenton was. Randall Cunningham isn't in the same league as them banana brain.

    Please continue making an idiot out of yourself, It's fun for me.

  • What a dumbass little girl that guy named "topcat42" is. Good grief. Tarkenton's a weenie and he could never scramble nearly as well as Steve Young and Randall Cunningham for starters.

    Plus, don't forget - he never won shit.

  • Couldn't scramble as good as Young or Cunningham? Please continue, every time you open your mouth you prove what a retard you truly are.

    Stick with that gay song Ave Maria, that's more your style.

  • Don't you dare mention a piece of shit like Randall Cunningham to Fran Tarkenton. Sure Cunningham could scramble, but his passing was absolutely atrocius. He was a fuckin choke artist. Minnesota would have won the Super Bowl in 1998, had that idiot coach (that black guy who also could not coach the Cardinals and got mad at the media for crowning the Bears...lol) played Brad Johnson instead of Cunningham. Randall did nothing after, and Johnson went to Tampa and led them to a Super Bowl win.

  • Your arguments sound like those of a 12 year old girl.

  • Still waiting for those quotes the Tarkentons "black" teammates, what happened talking out of your ass again?

  • Keep it real, please. Fran Tarkenton was a good QB who could never win the big one. Neither could Bud Grant.

    Case closed.

  • Yes you should run and lick your wounds, can't say that I blame you.

  • You know what PISSES me off? Most of the kids in my school say the Vikings suck because they arent phenomenal NOW, and they dont give a crap about the 98 season. They like teams like the Colts, Chargers, and Patriots...the "good" teams. Such crap, that kind of thinking is like the little kid watching a football game who is only cheering for the team who's winning. If the other team takes the lead, the boy immediately starts to root for those people...

    Such brats.

  • oh shut up. You act like the Vikings deserve praise. A superstar RB who fumbles all the time, no QB, terrible coaching, bad playcalling, and just plain boring to watch. Vikings football is no longer entertaining

  • Whats your problem? Did I hit a nerve or something?

  • I'm just saying, why root for a crappy team?

  • Crappy? They just beat the GIANTS. And their going to the PLAYOFFS with 10-6 record. And they have one of the BEST RB's of all time. And we have a WR that leads the league in average yard per catch.

    Im serious, you're like those little 5-year-olds...you dont choose a fave team based on how good they are, you pick one based on their REGION, their HISTORY, the PLAYERS, the COACHES, and the STYLE of play.

    NOT the record. If what you're saying is correct, why are there Detroit Lions Fans?

  • The Vikings beat the same Giants team that plays in the late 2nd quarter in the preseason. Best RB of all time is a stretch for a guy in his 2nd year who has no hands, and berrian had only 40 something catches this year. very small number for a number 1 wideout, and didnt even break 1000 yards. He has days when he'll get a big catch, but way too many days with 1 catch, 0 catches, 2 catches.

    As for the coaches and style of play, you cant tell me that either of those is good on the vikings

  • Childress is bad, Ill give you that. But Peterson usually gets a 50 yard run or more every game.

    I didnt watch the vikings in the pre-season.

    How do you even know about the Vikings yards and such, if you dont like them? Why did you watch this video?

  • Or the Giants. Didnt watch ANY of their games (Except the one against the Browns)

  • I saw Fran and the Purple People Eaters at home beat the Browns as a kid in pre-season football! Check out the 17 yard pocket he creates on this scramble in this rare footage...incredible. His feet were as talented as a musician's hands. Thank you Fran and the 70's Vikings for the wonderful memories.

  • You really had to be there back then to know just how revolutionary he was. Running out of the pocket at the first sign of trouble when every other QB in the league would just fold & fall. He was great...and fun to watch.

  • Ignorant people will never know.Fran was one of the greats!

  • I love this guy man!

  • Brett .... you can't run this fast. If your gonna take on Manning in the Bowl; better sharpen that 440 honey. We know you can drill, but can U twist, like this?

  • He's one of my all time heroes. 'm a little guy who playes quarterback and I model my style of play after him. I love how he used to scramble and hustle everywhere around the field to get a play going for his team. And he was always team first, one of the rare humble and selfless leaders in football history. I look up to Fran Tarkenton alot.

  • before there was mike vick, randall cunningham or steve young. there was fran. he was a fantasy player's wet dream. 400 yards passing, 4tds and 100 yards rushing.

  • Hated Fran but respected him . He always had the Rams number in the 70's.

  • Love it!

    I remember Fran Tarkenton very well.

    I have been a Giants fan since 1967, and he was my QB for five years!

    He is now in the Hall of Fame, and his best years were with the Vikings, but I still love #10!

    Go Giants!!

    George Vreeland Hill

  • Fran Tarkenton was so handsome and still is. I had always had a crush on him since I was a little girl. Such a great football player too.

  • Fran was amazing.

    I was watching NFL history.

    And he runs with such power and slips through between people its amazing to watch him play.

  • Fran Tarkenton should bre in the hall of fame

  • He is in the Hall Of Fame, first ballot.

  • NOT on first ballot.....second.

  • The greatest QB in history (your opinion) couldn't even make it into the HOF on the first ballot. Hahahahaha.

    Goes to show how out to lunch dumbass "topcat42" is. What a moron.

  • That doesn't mean a thing you air head. Either was Vince Lombardi and the Super Bowl trophy is named after him you pin head.

    Okaylma, what a meat head he is.

  • He couldn't win shit. He's the Jeremy Giambi of football. Very forgettable - especially to Viking and Dawgs fans.

  • The only quarterback in history to retire with more passing and rushing yards than anybody that ever played the game before him. Too bad you know nothing about football.

  • He didn't win shit and your dumbass comments don't change that sad fact.

  • Either did Ted Williams you moron, I guess he sucked also. Sports isn't your strong point I see, try ballet or something.

  • This isn't about Ted Williams you retard. This is about Fran Bitchface - - - and he didn't win shit.

    Joe Kapp had more leadership ability in his toe nail than Tarkenton ever had.

  • Fran Tarkenton went to more Super bowls than Joe Kapp could ever dream of you meathead.

    meathead- dead from the neck up

  • Tarkenton didn't win shit and his teammates hated him - especially the black guys.

    Once again - he didn't win shit, and Mr. Retardo (topcat42) doesn't know squat about football or other team sports.

  • Aaaahhh here we go, when you get your ass kicked by me you use the race card. Show me the quotes from these "black guys" you just keep digging yourself a bigger hole.

    Once again- he went to 3 Super Bowls, is in the hall of fame and is regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever ace them up, deal with it loser.

    Hurry up and show me those quotes by his "black" teamates, turkey lips.

  • Bud Grant (his head coach) stated he was the greatest quarterback of all time, I guess he didn't hate him, lol idiot.

  • The bitch didn't win shit and all the BS you post doesn't change that.

    What part of "didn't win shit" can you not understand, Mr. Retardo?

  • Still waiting for those quotes from his "black teammates" genius.

  • Stats if you want to go by stats look at Bart Starr now thats underrated!

  • Bart Starrs stats couldn't carry the Tark's jockstrap. Bart Starr, wtf? Put the pipe down Pappy.

  • u dumbass fran tarkenton is in HOF

  • Fran Tarkenton is not the greatest QB in history but easily one of the top 10 greatest, better than you.

  • he was pretty good, no top 10 where have you been? top 10 LOL! come on now please!

  • Me thinks Pappy is a tad jealous of the Tark. Keep rambling on It's great! LOL.

  • wrong second ballot

    Im not saying he wasn't good but football history not stats. does not put him on the same page as the majority of the other greats,its not just myself but its hard comparing him to lots of those guys!

  • I'm a long time Miami Dolphins Fan and I think

    Fran Tarkenton was definately one of the best

    QBs ever.

    Of all the teams that never won the Super Bowl

    , the Minnesota Vikings of the '70s are the

    most deserving. Grossly under-rated team and

    that's unfortunate.

  • the 70s viking were great, but i think the Bills of the 90s deserved a win more.

  • I agree that Buffalo deserved at least one

    Super Bowl title, but not more than the Vikes.

    Minnesota lost to two of the Greatest teams

    ever: Miami and Pittsburgh. The '76 Raiders

    had only lost one game and were'nt too shaby

    either.

    Buffalo should have pulled it out against back

    up QB Jeff Hostetler and the Giants; the next

    three SB losses were major blowouts.

  • Not old, not lonely, just kicking your fat ass with FACTS. Your just all pissed off in life because USC had the biggest choke in college football history last season. Deal with it.

  • I rest my case.

  • Just stating the facts matty girl. If this was fight the reff would have stopped it long ago because I kicked both your asses on this subject. Now go lick your wounds and come back when you have some better material.

  • Looks like Matt get's his ass kicked with facts so he must resort to gay jokes. Go figure.

  • "And I'm sure if you're aware, but not every quote or story in recorded history is available online."

    Well you can't even show me ONE!

  • And I have him in the top 10. Now we can agree to dissagree on that but by no way does that make you right. His stats tend to back my assertion up. You say Fran Tarkenton is not even in the discussion and you ARE wrong on that.Admit it, you just have a hard on for the guy.

  • using PAR stats from last year as a reference, Tarkenton put up the equivalent of Carson Palmer's 2006 season (roughly 70 PAR) 10 times over the course of his 18-year career! The only knock on Tarkenton is that he never won a championship in his career, losing three Super Bowls. But a handful of playoff disappointments should not cause him to drop any lower than third place on this list.

  • He was one of the first scrambling QBs to be successful in the NFL, amassing 3674 career rushing yards, a record for the position that stood until Randall Cunningham broke it in the late eighties. More importantly, though, Tarkenton could beat teams with his arm -- he still ranks 5th all-time in raw (unadjusted) passing yards, and third in TD passes. When adjusted for his era, he looks even more impressive;

  • For one thing I'm not wrong about Tarkenton. He was a first ballot hall of famer and is regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

    Now as far as you making excuses for USC goes, they were 40 POINT FAVORITES! They choked pal, admit it.

  • 3: Fran Tarkenton

    Some people may be shocked to see Tarkenton ranked this high on a greatest quarterbacks list. You shouldn't be. Purely looking at regular season performance, Fran Tarkenton is the greatest quarterback of all-time, and it's not even close.

    Looks like he's in discussions to me.

  • For one thing I never stated he was the greatest quarterback ever, Bud Grant did. I said he was the most underated quarterback ever, put your listening ears on. Show me the comments of Chuck Forman, Alan Page or any other team mate, dopey. You are nothing but talk. Are you still pissed because USC couldn't beat a bum like Stanford, is that it?

  • Foot ball ia a team sport genius. Dan Marino never won a super bowl, is he not a great quarterback? How about Jim Kelly? Ted Williams never won a world series, did he suck? You might be white but you are a dumb white. Put the link to the interview out here, Tarkenton was no racist you imbecile. Just because he came from Georgia you call him a racist. Funny I never heard any of his black team mates state this and I followed his whole career.

  • LOL now you play the race card. You have no clue what you are talking about DUDE. You are so full of shit it's coming out of your ears. His Teamates do say he was great, His couch Grant said he was the greatest quarterback of all time. Plus he's in the hall of fame but you must have ben to busy playing with dolls when that came out. So DUDE,that makes you an idiot again but hey you must be use to that.

  • All he does is talk about how great he was? Wtf are you smoking? Obviously your parents neglected you and now you are out here flaming.

  • Yea the 70's vikes were great even though i never got to see em ;[

  • folks the giants wee 1-12-1 the year before he got there in 1966 then went 33-37 in 5 yrs not great but mediocre all because of him after he left the next five yers were 20-49-1 back to terribale of all his acheivments those stats say how good he was

  • What do you mean couldn't make it in NY.

    Giants stunk up the place back then. If anything, the giants organization was a waste of his skills and held him back.

  • This was my favorite player growing up. I even had that Sport magazine you showed LOL

    Awesome stuff. Thanks.

  • i dont think hes very good at all

  • i dont think hes that awesome at all.

  • Can't believe there's not more clips on YouTube of my favorite all-time QB.

  • No kidding!! Can't believe there aren't more clips of the Vikes when they were the Purple People Eaters and playing at Metropolitan Stadium in the 70's.

  • Clips of what the Purple People Eaters being fed there own jerseys by the Steelers,Raiders,Chiefs, Dolphins

  • because he is only yours and Topcat42 favorite LOL!

  • Love this guy. However, someone said if they had Tark against the Chiefs they would have won Super Bowl 4. I disagree. Injun' Joe Kapp was the emotional leader of that team and the truth is they were great, in part, because of him. Now if Kansas City did NOT have Len Dawson then I agree the Chiefs would have lost. However Tarkenton was a super talent who drove defenses nuts with his scrambling.

  • That was me. Sure, Injun' Joe was the emotional leader of that team, but while he had the guts, he didn't have nearly the talent of Fran Tarkenton.

    Len Dawson was only 12-17 for 142yards 1TD and 1INT in the game. Otis Taylor was the star of that game for The Chiefs with 6 catches for 91 yards and a TD. He turned a 7 yard out into a 46 yard TD.

    Truth is, we'll never know what would've happened Jan 11th 1970, had Fran, the man, been the QB of The Vikings on that day
