Top Ten QBs In Franchise History

[JustInTime]

He'll be in the top 3 after the 3rd quarter of his first preseason game.

Fixed it for ya

I mostly agree with the list. Wasn't the biggest Fran fan, but he definitely belongs at #1. Question whether Kramer should be ahead of Cousins. Kramer played 14 years, Cousins played 13. Cousins has double the yards, double the TDs, 32 fewer INTs and a higher passer rating by 20 points. The most TDs Kramer ever threw in one season was 26 in 1981. But he had 24 INTs that year. 26/24. Cousins best year was 35/13. Over their careers, Tommy TD/INT ratio was 159/158!! Cousins was 288/126. That's a pretty remarkable difference.

This is a great illustration why what we USED to remember decades ago is sometimes not always accurate or a bit embellished as a memory. Unfortunately, and I love Tommy, Tommy Kramer was an overrated QB by Viking Nation. Kramer threw as many to the other team as he did his teammates....and some were really brutal INTs.

Moon, Cunningham, Pepp and George...

Those F'ers had the prettiest long ball passes of the lot of em.

KC never going to get the luv/respect from Viking Nation that (I think) he deserves.

Agreed, Kramer overrated.

But, IMO,  clutch play, poise, and accuracy rank higher than numbers.

Kirk Cousins had a passer rating of 101.2 with 23,265 yards, 171 touchdowns and 55 interceptions in 88 games for the Vikings in his career. 3 to 1 TD to INT with a 68% completion percentage.

Yes, but he could have never done that 20 or more years ago when defenses were allowed to tackle QBs.
Also, Almost every QB on my list lead our team to the NFCC or is in the HOF. And Case Keenum also did it and I also rank him ahead of Cousins.

To be fair, Tommy was probably drunk at the time.

Drunk or not, he is heads and tails above the beloved Kirk Cousins.
