I loved Joe Kapp. I was crushed when they lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs, but I knew that they would be back in 1970. However, it didn't happen and I remember hoping that Joe would come back to the Vikings somehow. He was as tough as they came. RIP Joe Kapp.
The Vikings management should have given Kapp more money instead of letting him walk. Biggest mistake they ever made. Unimaginative bean-counters will be the death of many an enterprise.
VERY SAD ,you can't find full games of his blowouts - of the Colts - where he threw 7 touchdowns - and his regular season games in 1968 and 1969 .Who cares he lost SB 4.Kelly lost 3 Super Bowls. So did Elway.But they never threw seven touchdowns in one game.
I remember watching Kapp when I was a kid. He might be the toughest guy to ever play the QB position. He had the toughness and roughness of a linebacker! That was back in the days of the Purple People Eaters. If you can’t spit out all 4 names of that infamous defensive line, you are not worthy to tote my beer! Lol !!

Jpe Kapp was fun to watch. He was a quarterback, but ran like a full back and seemed to enjoy contact.
"His passes had nothing more on them but the commissioners signature." What a line.
Joe Kapp...Former QB of the BC Lions and winner of the 1964 Grey Cup...
You know how a lot of people make distinctions between old school and new school football? Well, Joe Kapp is the personification of the old school.
Rest in peace Mr Kapp!

Joe Kapp started in the CFL and was essentially a 29 year old rookie in 1968.

I need a rams-vikings game from the 60s/70s right about now..
Tougher than DVD packaging.
Great quarterback.
JK is one tough hombre. Plus, he was a tough QB who is still a winner 🏆.
incredible leader
He was my hero. I'm half Mexican like Mr. Kapp. Growing up Joe Kapp and Anthony Quinn were my heroes
i wish football was still like this not 5 man spread 3 yard passes
