The Vikings has also out performed the Packers on the field, because of moves they made in the offseason: From Tom Silverstein's article. The team that beat up the Packers both home and away arguably has
also been outperforming the Packers during the past couple of
off-seasons. The Vikings have added at least one big-time player each
of the last four years and are to the point now where they may have as
many as 11 players selected to the Pro Bowl this year. Here's a year-by-year comparison:
2006:
The Vikings - Steve Hutchinson and Ryan Longwell.
The Packers - Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett, Greg Jennings.
2007:
The Vikings - Adrian Peterson, Sidney Rice and Visanthe
Shiancoe.
The Packers - Justin Harrell
and Ryan Grant.
2008:
The Vikings - Jared Allen and Bernard Berrian.
The Packers - Brandon Chillar and Jermichael Finley.
2009:
The Vikings - Brett Favre, Percy Harvin and Phil Loadholt.
The Packers - Duke
Preston, B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews.
Basically since 2007 the Vikings have out-drafted Ted Thompson and made bolder moves in the offseason. The drafting is a bit surprising considering that is supposed to be Ted's line of expertise. But it's not surprising on the free agent side of things. The Vikings owner Zygi Wolf wants a new stadium and the only way he stands a chance is if he wins, and wins right now. So he went out and bought the best talent available and Adrian Peterson fell into their lap. So, the main difference between the Vikings and Packers is a go-for-broke GM vs. slow-but-surely GM. Which would you rather have?
