Vikings Gods give you a Santa List GM JOB !!!

Post by jackal »

Okay The football Gods have been frustrated by the press and ESPN gurus that always have negative things to say about the Vikings.
You get to pick ten players to put on the Vikings. Five of these players have to come from other era's and five we take from other NFL
teams that currently. This is meant as fun and not an attempt to make light of what others choices might be. The off season is almost
over and this could be fun.

Five Current players

Arron Rodgers QB Green Bay (this would kill the packers is why I choose it)
Luke Kuelchly LB Carolina (this is all around stud linebacker who plays both pass and run well)
JJ Watt DT Houston
Patrick Peterson CB arizona (guys a stud)
Calvin Johnson WR Lions (this would hurt a rival and really help us)

Five All time Players

Lawrence Taylor LB New York Giants
Ronnie Lott S SF Niners the guy was a physical beast and one of the badest guys to ever play
Reggie White DE-DT
Derrick Thomas LB Chiefs
Anonthy Munoz T Bengals ( always thought he was as good as any tackle in the game... real physical )

Assuming the Vikings get to keep their current roster (if they want). Also assuming players from today are in their prime and not their current age.

Players from today:
Ryan Kalil
Peyton Manning
Calvin Johnson
J.J. Watt
Champ Bailey

Retired Players:
Rod Woodson
Ray Lewis
Alan Page
John Randle
Jerry Rice

Here's my revised, "screw playing defense, we're just going to score 100 pts/game" team:

Current Players (assuming at their peak)

Peyton Manning
Calvin Johnson
Jimmy Graham
Joe Thomas
Nick Mangold (had Hutchinson but forgot he retired)

All-Time

Jim Brown
Jerry Rice
Anthony Munoz
Bruce Matthews
Randall McDaniel

Current Players
------------------------------------
Calvin Johnson WR
Jimmy Graham TE
Joe Thomas OT
Richard Sherman CB
Luke Kuechly LB

All-Time
------------------------------------
Dan Marino QB
Randy Moss WR
Lawrence Taylor LB
Joe Greene DT
Reggie White DE

Can't even imagine what a Marino to Moss/Johnson/Graham offense would look like.

This is hard. But I'm going to give it a shot to develop a pretty decent overall team. My secondary is a bit weak compared to the rest, but I figure that's just modern Vikings football. Plus, they just need to be "good enough" as my offense is just dumb.

Current Players (healthy, in their prime)
------------------------------------
Calvin Johnson WR
Rob Gronkowski TE
JJ Watt DE
Luke Kuechly LB
Darrelle Revis CB

All-Time
------------------------------------
Joe Montana QB
Jerry Rice WR
Alan Page DT
Lawrence Taylor LB
Reggie White DE

So my team would be:

QB: Joe Montana
RB: Adrian Peterson
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Jerry Rice
WR: Greg Jennings/Cordarrelle Patterson
TE: Rob Gronkowski/Kyle Rudolph
FB: Jerome Felton
OT: Matt Kalil
LG: David Yankey
C: John Sullivan
RG: Brandon Fusco
RT: Phil Loadholt
K: Blair Walsh

DE: Reggie White
DT: Alan Page
DT: Linval Joseph
DE: JJ Watt
LB: Luke Kuechly
LB: Lawrence Taylor
LB: Chad Greenway/Anthony Barr
CB: Darrelle Revis
CB: Xavier Rhodes
S: Harrison Smith
S: JaMarca Sanford/Andrew Sendejo/Antone Exum

Current:

Aaron Rodgers (Best QB I've ever seen)

Adrian Peterson (Best RB I've ever seen)

Calvin Johnson (Second best WR I've ever seen)

JJ Watt

Darrell Revis (I think when it all said and done, he will prove to be the best corner in the game)

Past:

Randy Moss (Best WR to ever play in my opinion)

Reggie White

Mean Joe

Barry Sanders (Again, Best to ever play the game, imo. I know I already have a great RB but I just couldn't resist)
