Seems heavily weighted toward 70s and 80s, but not much to argue with. A couple...

One more year and Kendricks is over Siemon. Barr easy over Studwell. Winfield over Lee.

Winfield yes, Kendricks not yet, Barr no.

RB Peterson > Foreman
Definitely.

AD is one of the all time best and other than Moss may have been the most physically gifted player ever in purple, but I would take Foreman as my favorite Viking RB. He was the complete RB, an amazing receiver and the best RB I have ever seen in the open field. He was also a great leader.

Lost me with no Mr Viking (aka Alan Page)

Yeah, I've seen pretty much all of them and I would probably rank Page the #2 player in Viking history.

So your #1 is Moss or Tark?

Strong case for all 3, but my heart lies with 88.

Just depends on the criteria you're using. Favorite? Most successful? Most talented? Chuck Foreman was probably my favorite, but AD was one of the most talented RBs to ever play the game. As good as he was, Foreman wasn't quite on that level.

Sure a strong case can be made for either...

Foreman was so graceful and really did an awful lot of things that RB's weren't doing in those days, nor could AP ever do em.

As far as a pure runner? Power? Peterson is about as good is it ever gets/got. I met him a # of times in person and I could not imagine for the life of me how anyone could tackle that man.

I mean, everyone's list is subjective...but no Page?

You know, if it's my list, I'm putting the guy who was:

One of two defenders in NFL history to be named league MVP
Two time DPOY
All Pro 9 times
236 consecutive game starting streak
28 blocked kicks
23 fumble recoveries
150 unofficial career sacks (which would be first for IDL)
4 time Super Bowler
1 losing season in his career as a Viking

But, maybe that's just me.
