Fran Tarkenton



Fran Tarkenton played in the NFL for 18 seasons.  He was not physically big but he was aggressive.  He played for the Minnesota Vikings.   I consider him  the greatest quarterback to ever step on a football field but most fans do not agree with me.  Tarkenton still tops the record books for rushing yards by a quarterback.  He also leads in passing completions, touchdowns, and passing yardage.  He played in 9 Pro Bowls.  He was voted the NFL MVP one time.  I am convinced that the main reason he is not considered the greatest quarterback is because he never won a Super Bowl.  In the end I think the judgment is fair due to the fact that great quarterbacks win world championships.  However, on the other hand, the numbers don't lie.  He accomplished what he accomplished.
