Of course, WRs weren't running down the field unmolested. There were reasons teams didn't pass as much. There were 3 things that could happen when you threw it, two of them were bad, and those bad things were MUCH more likely outcomes of a passing play than they are today.Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 3:48 pmStill amazes me that a player from that time period still leads in INTs all time.

That is disappointing since Peterson is the greatest running back in franchise history in my book, oh wellCliff wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 7:50 pm Actually, I think I will leave Peterson off. I was on the fence to begin with but with people coming forward and specifically asking I think I'll leave him off.
Every other player is just as deserving and nobody has any issues with any of them. I'll start one more poll soon.
He is. It's a shame it has to be considered at all.VikingsFan84 wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 7:54 pmThat is disappointing since Peterson is the greatest running back in franchise history in my book, oh wellCliff wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 7:50 pm Actually, I think I will leave Peterson off.

I get it on one hand, but you let the fans vote and he got the votes. It's a lose/lose proposition whatever you decide to do.Cliff wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 7:50 pm Actually, I think I will leave Peterson off.

Meh, I don't see what anyone is losing. The board will still pick the players, Peterson is just off the table. It's the website banner, not the hall of fame or anything.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 8:47 pmI get it on one hand, but you let the fans vote and he got the votes.

When Peterson gets in the Hall of Fame, put him on the bannerCliff wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 8:52 pmMeh, I don't see what anyone is losing.

It's lose/lose because putting him on the banner would bother some people and not putting him on the banner would bother others. Either way you are alienating Vikings fans.Cliff wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 8:52 pmMeh, I don't see what anyone is losing. The board will still pick the players, Peterson is just off the table.

I wouldn't have put him on, but that's my opinion. I get the attraction, he was an incredible RB for the Vikings. While I wouldn't have put him on, if he was on and the rest of the members votes him on, this would be the last you'd hear from me about it. I'm sorry I came across as if I'd be mad or upset, or leave if he was on. Just wouldn't be my choice ever. Again, if you want him on Cliff, he was voted on by other members here so don't let my complaints stop you. This thread is the only time you'll hear my opinion on the matter.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 10:00 pmIt's lose/lose because putting him on the banner would bother some people and not putting him on the banner would bother others.

Honestly, I don't want him on either. The board was divided and ultimately shut down for a while over the issue he had. I should have never made him an option in retrospect.Thaumaturgist wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 6:51 amI wouldn't have put him on, but that's my opinion.

13 votes for yes, 3 complaints, what ever happened to majority rules? If social media was around back in the day 90% of these guys would of ended up offending someone.Cliff wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 7:33 amHonestly, I don't want him on either.
