We’re far better off taking our lumps with a young guy that might surprise us (Webb, Locker, etc), than with a washed up has-been that will only disappoint us.

Dont forget that Peterson is better than any Packer running back too but just remember this well known fact..Individual players do NOT win Championships…TEAMS win championships..that argument of an individual players “talent” is completely irrelevant and just proves how desperate you are for any shred of proof that the Vikings can compete next year and beyond.Instead of thumping your chest about how talented your “individual players” are why don’t you spend more time trying to convince your GM that signing over priced egomaniacal free agents to huge contracts only to have your team mired in mediocrity is NOT and will never be the way to win in todays NFL…the key is to draft and develop young talent that are drafted to fit YOUR SCHEME (ie Pitt , NE , GB , Indy etc..) . Until Speilman realizes this fact and stops chasing championships by signing free agents (who have already achieved greatness in someone elses scheme) and starts to draft more intelligently im afraid the Vikings and ALL of their impending free agents will continue to do nothing more than what they have since day one….chase championships.

Actually, if you want to split hairs, the Vikings have won 1 world championship. So if youre going to count your world championships then at least recognize the one the Vikings won. If you arent going to recognize the Vikings championship then only make reference to the number of Super Bowls the Packers have won. Seems fair enough.

Sorry buddy. The Queens lost Super Bowl IV to the Chiefs that year. They won the equivalent on the NFC Championship against the Browns that year.

If you are going to refer to NFC Championships during the Super Bowl era as “World Championships”, then by the same logic, the Green Bay Packers have won 17 “World Championship” games, and not 13 as officially counted.

Of course that is just plain silly. The Packers won the World Championships of 1966 and 1967 (aka Super Bowl I and II) just like they won Super Bowl XLV this year, while the Queens lost the World Championship in 1969 (aka Super Bowl IV).

The fact is, the Minnesota Vikings have never won a World Championship during their entire existance.

End of story.

True enough, although I think Raji would be fine in either scheme. But I’d still take Williams over Raji. Or, if I really got to pick, I’d take Raji next to Williams, and try to run on that!!!

Fair enough. But then the packers cant make that claim either. I agree with you in that World Champions is pretty dumb considering the teams originate out of the US. National Champions is better.

We count them cause WE won them? Listen jerky, YOU didn’t win anything, the team you are a fan of did.
What people are sick of with you packer fans is this: When the are good, like this year, you fans are unbearable. When they suck, like a few years ago, you wanna dust off all the old 30′s and 40′s trophies, and you are still unbearable.

The NFL did not have any postseason or Championship Game until 1933. The Green Bay Packers have championships in 1929, 1930, and 1931.

Now back to your regularly scheduled bitchfest.

They can trade for a veteran QB and try to get a championship run with Peterson before he hits his running back expiration date, but teams generally don’t trade veteran QBs that are any good unless they have serious baggage. Plus, this assumes that Peterson stays healthy which is never a guarantee with a running back. Palmer probably has more good years remaining than McNabb, but the cost to acquire him will be higher.

They can draft a QB, but in most cases, they take a few years to develop and there’s no guarantee that he’ll be any good.

They could try to do a reverse Hershel Walker trade with Peterson which roster-wise might be in their best interest, but if you’re trying to win the public’s heart for a new stadium, it’s probably not a good idea to trade away your best player. Trading your best player and going into rebuilding mode also wouldn’t be popular with veteran players looking to win now.

The only conclusions we can make from this are:
* It’s not worth your time to click the link
* There’s no truth to any speculation about McNabb coming to Minnesota based off the link provided
* The Weekly World News and The Onion still have more credibility than Charley Walters
* Those two might also have more credibility than PFT if hacks like Michael David Smith think that Charley Walters is a reliable source.

13xworldchamps…. why are you even considering the first 10 championships when there was what, 8 teams in the league?

jgat, so all the superbowls prior to 1976 mean less because there weren`t as many teams in the league compared to now ?. With your logic any time you add teams to the league the Championships prior to that mean less.
Yes, there were 8 teams in the league during several of the Packers Championships. So how come other teams during that era didn`t dominate like the Packers did ?
Again with your logic all the stats in all team sports prior to about 1960 shouldn`t count. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson. These guys and others dominated their respective era`s like nobody else or since. Take a look at Babe Ruth`s records at the time. When he retired nobody even had half as many homeruns as he did. That`s domination. And you believe it doesnt mean as much because there were less teams in the league ?
