IF this team wins a SB, we'd need to consider Zimmer and Wilfs I suppose...

Jim Finks isn't remembered and revered enough in Viking lore. Great call.

Up until a few years ago, this would have been mine, too. But since AD morphed into such a colossal douche-bag his last few years with the team, I gotta bump him in favor of Tarkenton, although ol' Frannie ranks pretty high on the DB scale, himself.

Agreed on the SB victory, but only for Zimmer. That 1 win would automatically place him ahead of Bud, no doubt about it. The Wilf's have quadrupled their investment in the Vikings in @ 12 years. That's reward enough.

On 2nd thought I would switch Carter for Fran. Hard to pick 4.

Funny how time has altered my own Mt Rushmore...5 years ago I would have had Tark instead of Moss...

This wont be popular, but I'd have to have Blair Walsh on that one before Hershel. He was used wrong and in the wrong scheme. I'll blame Lynn for that one and still wish him peace now that he's passed. 

Christian Ponder

How about Darren Sharper?

Derrick Alexander passing on Warren Sapp

Reaching for Tarvaris Jackson

DJ Dozier

Darrin Nelson over Marcus Allen

Clint Jones #2 pick overall (who you ask? exactly)

Pretty much how I arrived at:

Moss
Randle 
CC
Tark

Thing is, I don't even remember Tarkenton playing.. I was 8 when he retired.  But he's the guy that first made the Vikings relevant, both on the field and getting them national attention with his highlight-reel scrambles.

LOL... I'll give you 3 of 4, and Mike Lynn, but Herschel doesn't deserve that.  He was an I-formation runner traded to a Vikings team that thought I formation was what you read on the wall at the optometrist.  

TWill
Underwood
Kalil
Smoot

Dishonorable mention to Erasmus James (he and Troy instead of Demarcus Ware and Roddy White... just shoot me) and Chris Cook for being both inept and a-holes.

A wall hall of shame might be big enough for this group.
