Just looked that 04 Vikings team up expecting Moss to have a ton of those yards and he only had 767 that year. Those yards were way more spread out than I thought they'd be 👀. Culpepper wasn't that far from leading the team in rushing too wtf.

They just squeaked into the playoffs that year with an 8-8 record despite having up that point a historically great passing offense. The defense was that bad.

Culpepper was an animal. That’s the guy that Josh Allen always reminds me of most. At that point, he was the 2nd best QB in football behind Peyton. Brady didn’t go nuts until the Vikings traded them Moss after that year and Brees was still in San Diego and a completely different archetype who scrambled a lot and wasn’t close to the most accurate passer in history.

Then they trade Moss, Culpepper has knee surgery, and he’s never the same player again. It turns out playing at 260 lbs on a bad knee doesn’t work. 6’4” 260 is basically Josh Sweat’s size. :laugh:

The Vikings definitely were fun teams to follow in the late 90’s/early 2000’s for being a team that never won a Super Bowl. Obviously Moss & Carter but even the QB’s going from Cunningham, George, to Cullpepper. Some high flying offenses in that time span.

Probably get a little buried for never winning it all & the high flying Rams coming in around that time doesn’t help either.

Culpeper is wildly forgotten these days

I remember the season Culpepper threw 20+ picks and fumbled the ball 20+ times. He was probably frustrating for Vikings fans. That connection with Moss was one of the most exciting in recent NFL history
