The Minnesota Vikings Have Just Won The Super Bowl!

by NobleSavage on Jul 16, 2009 11:00 AM CDT Comment 42 comments

As the pile of jubilant players finally separate, the camera zooms in on the quarterback that has just led the team to their very first Super Bowl win. His name is…

I thought it would be interesting to see how the fans really feel about who they would rather see lead the Vikings in a Super Bowl win. I have purposely left out the option “it doesn’t matter”, because I think we all would choose a Super Bowl win over our own feelings about a certain player. Please feel free to comment on your reasoning.

I voted for...

Jesse Ventura. It’s not that he’s a good quarterback or anything.

I just like hearing him say, “We shocked the world!”

I tried embedding it, but I couldn’t get it to work. I use HTML as my editor. I probably need to do a Fanpost to embed videos.

Oh well. It’s Jesse at his best. Especially at 18 seconds in.

Do they wear numbers at McDonalds?

That was cold but I had to swing at that pitch.

POOR JDB?

When you throw an INT your first Pro pass ever, you should be ban from the League lol

...add #4 to the mix and see what you get... Championship.

who would I rather???

somebody else. I’d rather see a new, young franchise QB lead us to the promised land so that there could be hopes of many more to come.

But if I had to choose one of the three guys to do it, I guess I’d pick T-Jax, simply because it would make a nice, “He’s way better than we all thought” story.

Franchise QB.....true...

but that would mean we would have to wait a few more years.

Good example. But there aren't many other good ones out there.

Wait 3-4 years

Joe Montana’s son, Nick Montana, will be in the draft, maybe we can get him…

How long, can this go on? (said in the Heavy Metal Coalmines tone)

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

Yikes.

Only thing is, he’s playing for the winless Huskies… I know they have Steve Sarkesian (sp?) as their new HC, but that is gonna take some time to build up that program to anything resembling a football team.

That many votes for Favre? I know many people want Favre to be our QB this year, but this is a whole different ball game. I’m actually kind of surprised.

In AP I trust
Just say no to Favre.

by FarvaForTheVikings on Jul 16, 2009 1:29 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I too am very surprised.

I think most of the people who are voting for him are in the mindset that he will be our QB this year and therefore for this to be the year, it would have to be him.

But that is not really what I was asking for.

right, your question is really out there. It assumes that ANY QB can take the Vikings to the SuperBowl and that they ALL have the same chance of taking the Vikings to the SuperBowl.

by newmexvike on Jul 16, 2009 3:45 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

The only assumption made is that the Vikings have just won the Super Bowl

You’re reading into it too much.

ok, well what are the chances those different QBs can fulfill your assumption? why vote for a guy that has little chance of fulfilling said assumption?

I get what you’re getting at. You don’t want to see Favre take the Vikes to the SuperBowl. But they don’t all have the same chance. And I’ll vote for any QB that can ACTUALLY take them all the way.

by newmexvike on Jul 16, 2009 4:59 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

You've got me all wrong

I will definitely be routing for Favre to take us to the Super Bowl. As I have always stated, signing Favre is only a good thing if we win the Super Bowl. Otherwise it is a bust.

by NobleSavage on Jul 16, 2009 5:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I meant to say

You’d rather see someone else besides Favre take them to the Superbowl. Obviously it’s a good thing to be there with or without him.

by newmexvike on Jul 16, 2009 10:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

The way I took the poll was...

“The Vikings have just won the Super Bowl!!” It doesn’t have to be this year, or even 5 years down the road (Although, I’d like to think we all want a championship sooner than then, haha) So, who do you wish is the QB at that given time?

If you don’t think any of the options can do it, then vote “Someone Else”. That’s what I did. :)

by TheViking83 on Jul 16, 2009 6:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

well I don’t think the vote takes into account whether they can do it or not. The premise is that they have won it, not if they will win it. So when you vote TJack, you’re not commenting on the potential to get there, just who you want to see do it.

by newmexvike on Jul 16, 2009 10:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

yeah, I see

So, I guess that since I obviously want the Vikes to win the Super Bowl I should have probably voted for one of the guys currently on the roster. Most people know I’m in the “Favre Hater” camp, so I guess I’d pick T-Jax.

What a hard-to-believe hypothetical, haha.

Why not Favre?

I just want a Superbowl win!!
The QB who ‘gets’ us there comes second.

Brett was (maybe still is) a great QB and loves the game – it would also make a great story… 1 Division, 2 teams, 2 Superbowl rings.

Has any other QB taken 2 teams to a SB victory?

GO VIKES!

I believe the 'push off' cost us 'our' SuperBowl...
I believe you 'go for the win'... instead of 'taking a knee'...

by ArizonaVikingsFan on Jul 16, 2009 2:50 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

To answer your question

There has never been a QB “take” 2 different teams to a SB win, however there has been a few that were on 2 different winners as a backup on 1. Jim McMahon did this when he was Favre’s backup.
