Bleacher Report released a list of a Vikings all-time roster for a Madden simulation, and in my opinion, the list was mostly fair.
Fran Tarkenton and Daunte Culpepper are great choices for quarterback, and I’m glad that between the Patriots and the Vikings, Minnesota got Randy Moss on its roster.
However, there were some notable players left off the list, so here are some players that should have made the team.
Guard Steve Hutchinson
Hutchinson was mostly part of a Vikings era that was good, not great. From Brad Johnson to Donovan McNabb, Hutchinson was a good blocker who often had to deal with poor quarterback play.
However, he was still a guard for Brett Favre, who brought the Vikings to the NFC Championship. He also blocked for the likes of Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor.
Guard Ed White earned his share of accolades, and even praise from opposing players, but I think Hutchinson and Randall McDaniel, who is on the list, would be unstoppable at guard for an all-time Minnesota team. It’s hard to compare eras, but I think Hutchinson should have gotten the nod over White.
