Never forget! 25 years ago almost to the day! The day it was confirmed I would not give into the peer pressure and become a depressed Vikings fan! I think most folks in the upper Midwest remember exactly where they were and who they were with on that play.

I don’t think you can draw conclusions for the rest of Love’s career based off a desperation play, with a minute left, needing to score with the season on the line. Look at Brett Favre’s throw with under a minute to go in the 2009 NFC championship game. It’s the exact same play. Favre was an already HOF QB letting his guard down in order to make a play. Love is far ahead of most HOF players in stats and leading his team to a playoff win in the first year. We’ve also seen plenty of guys that do something similar and fall off, but typically guys that fall off can’t keep if going for more than a couple games. I guess what I’m saying is anyone making big predictions for the rest of the guy’s career based off this year, one game, or especially one play; is just playing the wishful thinking game towards their own biases. That goes for both folks predicting he’s the next GB HOF QB and folks predicting he ends up flipping burgers.
