Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 Minnesota Vikings.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Vikings went 8-9 but did not make the playoffs.  Two new players made the top 50, and one elevation took place.

As always, we present our top five, though there were no changes in this elite group:

1. Alan Page

2. Fran Tarkenton

3. Randall McDaniel

4. Carl Eller

5. Mick Tinglehoff

You can find the entire list here.

Safety, Harrison Smith, advanced four spots to #30.

Debuting is four-time Pro Bowl Linebacker, Anthony Barr at #44, who is currently a Free Agent, and unlikely to return to the Vikes.  

Quarterback, Kirk Cousins, enters at #48.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

After six seasons with Washington, Kirk Cousins signed what was then the highest guaranteed contract in franchise history with the Vikings before the 2018 Season.  There were many who wondered if Cousins was worth the money, but he has shown himself to be a far better Quarterback in Minnesota than he was as a Redskin.

Cousins, who threw for over 4,000 three times in Washington, has matched that in Minnesota, but with a far better TD-INT ratio (99-55 in WAS, 153-50 MIN) and had a three-year streak (2019-21) of having a Passer Rating over 103.  A Pro Bowl Selection in 2019, 2020 & 2021, Cousins goes into 2023 still as the Vikings QB, and while there is no chance that he will become the greatest pivot in Minnesota history, he has time to climb this rank and stay here for decades.  

A First Round Pick (9^th Overall) and All-American from UCLA, Anthony Barr made the Minnesota Vikings starting lineup as a rookie at Right Linebacker, but it was the next four seasons that land him on this list.

Chosen for the Pro Bowl annually from 2015 to 2018, Barr might have worked the right side of the field, but was capable of plowing through the interior at any time.  A punishing tackler (ask Aaron Rodgers), Barr had been accused of taking his foot off the gas pedal on occasion but when he was on, there were few better.

Barr was not resigned after the 2021 Season and would leave Minnesota with 495 Tackles in 98 Games.

An extremely tight match

Honestly speaking, this match wasn’t one that delighted fans due to great plays or incredible moments. In fact, it was quite a tight contest. Both teams prioritized not conceding a goal rather than trying to get one of their own. Whenever matches of this kind are being played anywhere in the world, the http://1xbet.com/en/live can be used to wager on them.

The 90 minutes ended 0-0. The extra time began, and things didn’t change too much. It quickly became apparent that both Australians and Peruvians were comfortable in deciding things through the penalty shootout.

A surprising substitution

Australian coach Graham Arnold had decided to start the match with Mathew Ryan on goal. He was also the captain of the team, which made what happened next even more unexpected. The 120 minutes came, and Arnold took an idea directly from Louis van Gaal’s handbook.

A substitution was announced, and Ryan was replaced by substitute goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne. Funnily enough, due to a typo in his shirt, his surname was spelled as “REDMA YNE” with a space in between.

In this shootout, three players failed their shots, who were:

• Martin Boyle;
• Luis Advíncula;
• and Alex Valera.

Redmayne’s impact was immediate. In fact, he became quite a celebrity due to the crazy moves and dances he made prior to a Peruvian team shooting. He successfully deflected the shot from Alex Valera, which qualified Australia for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Graham Arnold’s decision was quite a good one. In fact, Redmayne was key in helping his domestic teams win many Australian competitions after penalty shootouts. It was a gamble that worked out perfectly. You can play the best online slots on the 1xBet website while waiting for the next crazy moves from Andrew Redmayne.
