T-Scorp Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Heard this question this morning on KFAN referring to the Vikings. This is a tough question as The current Vikings have a couple of needs. My first thought was Fran Tarkenton as we really need a QB but could he perform against today's athletes. Randy Moss comes to mind as with him and AD T-Jax would just have to throw it up or hand it off. TE is a need so Steve Jordan would be great to have. Defensively you have Paul Krause at Safety or Joey Browner. Eller, Page, Marshall would be nice on our line of the Williams and Allen. Since I can only choose one, I would go with Moss as our defense is much better tahtn the one we had in 1998 and the offense would be so much better with Randy stretching the field.

peepinmofo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Bills - Jim Kelly Stability at QB is what we need. Edwards may be the guy for the future, but if we could have Kelly in his prime, we'd be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Anthony Munoz, the original prototype LT, and only true Bengal in the HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Mike Quick or Harold Carmichael...no explanation really needed Thats the kneee jerk reaction, and with some merit. But give me Reggie White on the DL, please....or perhaps Bill Bergey at MLB, or Wes Hopkins at Safety to pair with Dawkins, Samuel, and Sheppard as one phenomenal secondary. Only giving up 10 points a game would go a long way in masking any deficiency at WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) I agree that Tarkenton may be too short to play in today's game. When he faced the Steeler's defensive line in the Super Bowl, they were batting down his passes early and often. I would easily take Joe Senser for the TE position. He's the most incredible athlete that ever played the position for the Vikings, imo. He'd catch passes that were intended for others downfield. Injuries shortened his career unlike Steve Jordan's. Joey Browner would be a great addition to the defensive backfield. Too bad that with Adrian playing, nobody will ever say to bring back Chuck Foreman. Foreman and AP in the same backfield. Carl Eller could be the one lineman from history that would fit into what we need the most. It's hard not to want to have Moss, Cris Carter, Anthony Carter, Ahmad Rashad, or Matt Blair back as well. Maybe I'd take Bud Grant back first. Edited May 2, 2008 by MikesVikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Rodgers Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Bucs: Lee Roy Selmon, pair him with Gaines Adams on the other side and that would make for a pretty good pass rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Bill Walsh. Lot's of great Niner players to choose from but you can pretty much thank him for all of them. Either he did a much better job of finding the right guys or a much better job of making the guys right. Either way, it's hard to argue with the success.

Perchoutofwater Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Dallas Cowboys: Charlie Waters. Waters isn't the best Cowboy ever to play the game, but he is probably the one that could help the team most right now and in the near future, because he would force Roy Williams to ride the pine.

rajncajn Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Rickey Jackson. There's no better defensive playmaker for the Saints throughout their history. Tough not to pick Roaf though. Edited May 2, 2008 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point that is not saying a whole lot. Nothing against Waters, but Roy is becoming a role player & is in jeopardy of being benched anyway.

loaf Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 It's soooo easy to wanna say Jim Brown but I think the secondary could use the help this season. Hanford Dixon please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Not a position of need for the Vikings, but John Randall was a force to be reckoned with. Would like to have him back. But right now I would kill to have another Pro-Bowl Guard on the Vikings O-Line... so bring on Randall McDaniel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Tough call..Either Larry Allen because he was just so dominant or Michael Irvin to compliment TO (I know the personalities of the 2 would be a disaster but we are talking hypothetical) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Reggie is too easy... so I'll say Desmond Howard. Actually, I'd say Tony Canadeo for the type of player he was, but the game may be a bit to fast for him nowadays.

Big Score 1 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) For the Falcons - Bill Fralic. Their line is a bit of a mess (understatement even with the rook Baker) & they need a big mauler with a mean streak. EDIT: Honorable mention - Gerald Riggs - Dude was a hoss. The addition of Turner perhaps mitigates the need for a plowhorse RB. TBD. Edited May 2, 2008 by Big Score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
