Getting better at getting Quarterbacks | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈

On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - The Minnesota Vikings have arguably had only one franchise quarterback in their history: Fran Tarkenton. Why have they struggled so much with the position? From Dennis Green trying to put someone in as the starter to not being able to find a starter for more than six years, it’s been an issue for 42+ years.  In that time, the Vikings haven’t done nearly enough to fix the issue, but they are apparently average in trying to attempt it. What does all this mean?  Total quarterbacks drafted. Context to be aware of: 28 teams from 1980-1994 30 teams from 1995-1998 31 teams from 1999-2001 32 teams from 2022-present 1980-1999: 286 2000-2022: 281 Quarterbacks drafted by the Vikings since 1980: 1981: Wade Wilson 210th overall-8th round 1985: Steve Bono 142nd overall-6th round 1987: Brent Pease 295th overall-11th round 1992: Brad Johnson 227th overall-9th round 1993: Gino Toretta 193rd overall-7th round  1995: Chad May 111th overall-5th round 1999: Daunte Culpepper 11th overall-1st round 2006: Tarvaris Jackson 64th overall-2nd round 2007: Tyler Thigpen 217th overall-7th round 2010: Joe Webb 199th overall-6th round (drafted as a WR) 2008: John David Booty 137th overall-5th round 2011: Christian Ponder 12th overall-1st round 2014: Teddy Bridgewater 32nd overall-1st round 2021: Kellen Mond 66th overall-3rd round In that time: 7 quarterbacks from 1980-1999 Only one higher than round five 2.45% of all quarterbacks  6 quarterbacks from 2000-2022 One was drafted to be a wide receiver in Joe Webb (not included) 2.14% of all quarterbacks The Vikings haven’t had a franchise quarterback since Fran Tarkenton and have made only 6 meaningful swings to find one The Vikings have started 31 different quarterbacks since 1980 A draft rate of a QB every 3.2 years.
