The Vikings face Kyler Murray on Sunday. Then Russell Wilson. Then Baker Mayfield. Then, later on, Lamar Jackson and possibly Justin Fields not once but twice.
"I love it," said Vikings Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton.
His former team's defensive-minded head coach doesn't share the same affection for the prevalence of the maddening modern quarterback's ability to dominate key moments with a big arm, speedy legs or both.
"Sixty years ago, I was the only guy doing it," said Tarkenton, who, on Sept. 17, 1961, came off the bench to befuddle George Halas and the Chicago Bears in a 37-13 upset at Met Stadium in the Vikings' first regular-season game.
