Classy move by Vikings

I guess it was the only thing worse than playing in Minn. with a historically bad defense every year - a crappy running game once Robert Smith retired - and having the misfortune of having the most overrated football player in sports history (Duante Culpepper) as their QB.

Did anyone who watched the Vikings in the late 90's and earlier this decade not think that Jeff George and Gus Ferrotte were both MUCH better QBs than Duante ever was? The decrepit Randall Cunningham was like Dan Marino in his prime compared to Duante.

No. Frerotte had one good year with Miami and they passed on resigning him in favor of AJ Feeley and Jay Fiddler. No, he's not good. The one year he actually played for Minnesota, he threw 5 or 6 TD passed.

No. Jeff George was not better than Culpepper. George had a few good years but if you lined up his best 5 years vs Culpeppers, it's not even close, even leaving out the 2,000+ yards rushing to George's near none.

ButI always liked watching Jeff George play.
