(August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> The Vikings' starting quarterback for the first game of their inaugural season against the Chicago Bears was George Shaw . However, he was replaced by Fran Tarkenton early on, who passed for four touchdowns in the game and rushed for one more . Tarkenton went on to start in 10 of the Vikings' 14 regular season matches that year . He played for the Vikings until 1967, when he was traded to the New York Giants, and Joe Kapp took his place as the Vikings' starting quarterback . Kapp led the Vikings to their first playoff appearance in 1968, but he was traded to the Boston Patriots in 1970 and Gary Cuozzo stepped up to replace him . Cuozzo remained in the position for two seasons, moving to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1972 . </P> <P> Tarkenton returned for another seven - year spell as the Vikings' starting quarterback in 1972, continuing until his retirement in 1978, at which point Tommy Kramer was promoted from the second string in his second season with the franchise . Kramer was injured for most of the 1983 season, so Steve Dils served as the starting quarterback for most of the season, before Kramer reclaimed the position in 1984 . For the 1987 season, Kramer shared quarterback duties with Wade Wilson, before Wilson took over on a permanent basis from 1988 . Wilson was replaced by the emerging Rich Gannon in 1990, but Gannon was released after the 1992 season and veteran Jim McMahon took over for the 1993 season until the arrival of Warren Moon in 1994 . </P> <P> Moon retained the starting quarterback spot for two seasons, but suffered a broken collarbone halfway through his third season with the Vikings and was replaced by Brad Johnson for the remainder of the season . The Vikings had three starting quarterbacks in the following three seasons--Johnson (1997), Randall Cunningham (1998) and Jeff George (1999)--before Daunte Culpepper began a six - year spell in his second year in the NFL in 2000 . He suffered a serious knee injury during the 2005 season, and Johnson took over in the position again, having re-signed the previous summer after seven years away from the franchise . Culpepper then joined the Miami Dolphins in 2006, giving Johnson another full year as starting quarterback, only to be replaced by sophomore Tarvaris Jackson in 2007 . The 2008 season commenced with Jackson starting at quarterback, but he was replaced after two games by Gus Frerotte, who was returning to the Vikings from the St. Louis Rams after having been traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2005 . Jackson regained the job for the final three games and led the Vikings to their first divisional title since 2000, and their first NFC North title . </P>
