Tarkenton's business career did nothing to help his reputation. Many people view Fran as a dim-witted scam artist.
When Fran was a Viking I was a big fan. The guy played a crazy exciting game that baffled opponents.

I was a kid during Frans NFL playing days, but always liked watching him play because you just never knew what to expect with his scrambling. He made alot of players look foolish.
I had 3 fav teams back then.
Chiefs (hometown team)
Dolphins (big fan of Shula and players of that era)
Vikings (fan of Bud Grant, Tarkenton, Chuck Foreman, and the Purple People Eaters defense)
Although Fran didn't have much of an arm, I believe he held the NFL passing yards record for quite a while before Marino passed him. Alot of those yards could be contributed to Frans scrambling and finding the open man. He was one of the best at his position in the 70s' and he brings back alot of fond memories.
I am an outsider of course as far as what UGA fans think of him, but he will always be in my top 10 fav NFL QBs'.
