After Daunte, the Vikings tried Brett Favre. Yes, that Brett Favre—the old gunslinger who should have been retired on a porch somewhere. In 2009, he played like he was 25 again, throwing darts and beating the Packers in the playoffs. That was the sweetest revenge.
Then came the Adrian Peterson era. The Vikings had Christian Ponder (remember him?) and then Teddy Bridgewater. Teddy was a calm, accurate, safe quarterback. He was the steady hand you’d trust with your car keys. But a horrific knee injury in 2016 stole his prime. Heartbreaking doesn’t even cover it.
