Top 10 Viking QB's of All-Time

With Christian Ponder taking over the Minnesota Vikings starting QB position, it got me to thinking about who the best QB in the history of the Vikings is, here's my Top 10:
  1. Fran Tarkenton - This is a no-brainer.  NFL Hall of Famer.  Led Vikings to 3 Super Bowls.  NFL MVP in 1975.  9 time Pro-Bowler.  His 33, 098 passing yards & 239 TD's are Viking team records.   His 92 career wins leads all Viking QB's. 
  2. Duante Culpepper - 3 time Pro-Bowler.  Holds Viking single season records with 4,717 passing yards & 39 TD's in 2004.  His 38 career victories is 3rd amongst Viking QB's. 
  3. Tommy Kramer - One of the longest tenured QB's in Vikings history.  Threw for 24, 777 career yards & 159 TD's.  Pro-Bowler in 1986.  Holds Vikings single game passing yards record of 490 yards.  His 54 career wins is 2nd amongst Viking QB's. 
  4. Warren Moon - 6th on Vikings All Time Passing Yards & Passing TD's list.  33 passing TD's in 1995.  4200+ passing yards in 1994 & 1995. 
  5. Randall Cunningham - Only 1 season as a starter for the Vikings but led them to a 15-1 season & the NFC Championship game in 1998 when he threw for 34 TD's & 3,704 yards passing. 
  6. Brett Favre - Only 2 years as a Vikings starter but 1 of those years was phenomenal, 33 TD's, 4202 yards passing, led Vikings to a 12-4 record and a playoff appearance. 
  7. Joe Kapp - Led the Vikings to their first Super Bowl.  Pro-Bowler in 1969.  Holds Vikings single game TD record of 7 TD's.  10th on Vikings All Time Passing Yards & Passing TD's list.
