Debates about who the greatest quarterback in NFL history are just about as old as the league itself. There are a lot of different factors that go into such a ranking, and different people weigh those different things in different ways. One man that’s seen damn near every quarterback there is to see has put together his list of the 16 best quarterbacks in NFL history, and it includes a few names that are familiar to fans of the Minnesota Vikings, including the greatest quarterback ever to wear the purple.
Gil Brandt, who has been part of the National Football League for a very long time, has placed Fran Tarkenton at #14 on his list of the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time.
