You're dead wrong. Not even close, because Grant could never get his teams to win the big one. I think the fact that they got to so many Super Bowls was due to having great players, but Grant was outcoached in every Super Bowl the Vikings played in. He didn't know how to exploit the opponents' weaknesses and he was too conservative to play to his own team's strengths. His lack of coaching prowess was proven when he returned out of retirement and couldn't do squat with the team. It's because he didn't have the players he had in the 70s. With a better coach, the Vikings would have had several Super Bowl rings. Instead, they have none.
I started becoming a fan of the Minnesota Vikings in 1969 and Joe Kapp was there and I’m gonna tell you what man I was lucky to be able to watch him when he was actually playing rather than reruns hey Joe this is Jim mungai from Ridgely Pittsburgh Pennsylvania I watched you guys crush the Steelers 52 to 10 anyway thank you
Joe Kapp should never have held out. He would have fit in the ground and pound 1970s where the QB only had to throw for 150 yards a game for your team to win. He could have played at least through 1975.
Yes, tough would be an understatement. I remember watching him run down the sidelines and he straddled a defensive back! He garnered well-deserved respect from his teammates. Don't make 'em like him anymore! A true leader.
I’ve got a great uncle, Raul Zapata, that walks, talks and thinks along the same lines as Joe. I admire men like this. They pull no punches and tell it like it is without any hypocrisy or favoritism towards anyone. It don’t matter whether your Mexican, black, Irish, Italian or Jewish. They shoot straight and allow you to shoot straight right back at them then afterwards go have a drink n laugh it off.. Joe is definitely one of a kind.. some may say he is a character but I think Joe has character in my book.
I cheered like hell when Minnesota went to Super Bowl 4. After the upset lost to the Chiefs, Joe gets into some kind of disagreement with management and winds up with the Boston Patriots for the 1970 season. The 1970 Patriots were NOT the 1970 Vikings and Joe had a bad year with this team. After the 1970 season, Joe gets into some other dispute with the NFL hierarchy and never again plays pro football. Joe's worst enemy was Joe, himself. If he had remained in Minnesota and kept his outspoken mouth shut, who knows what could have happened in 1970 with the Vikings. Joe was never a pure passer, but he was a winner, with the right teammates. Those 7-touchdown passes he threw against Baltimore in 1970 was awesome and record setting. May Joe RIP.
Joe was without question one of the toughest, most interesting ever to do it, even if he isn’t considered one of the all time greats due to his short NFL career.
Joe Kapp is the Jack London of quarterbacks. Not great in the cultivated sense, though still remarkable, but a great pioneer. His leadership inspired confidence, optimism, buoyancy, toughness, meeting obstacles head on without fear. There is little that is analytical about his approach. It was about instinct, spontaneity, grit and the will to win. In color, fire, determination and all out performance, he is ideal,
Bud Grant was offered the head coaching job in Minnesota the year they first started playing (1961). However, he felt a loyalty to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL where he had been a player and then their head coach and turned it down. It turned out to be a very wise decision because when Vikings head coach Norm Van Brocklin had been fired in 1967 the Vikings were already assembling a very talented team from the draft and Grant had the start of a very good team when he agreed to coach them
Back then there was no holds bar, No restrictions! Every other play was a personal foul, The NFL has changed the Rules a number of times over 50 years to protect players & especially the Quarterbacks, 15 years ago the league changed the rules again to protect the QB & make the game more exciting & more offense, That's the main reason that Brady is still playing at 42 years old
@@doctorgarbonzo2525 Joe held out so they went with Gary Couzzo and signed Bobby Lee to back him up . Not everybody could play for Bud Grant and if a player held out Bud didn't want you . I mean seriously he told one guy from the Rams they picked in a trade about a haircut . If you won't adapt to team rules we will trade you out of town .
@@doctorgarbonzo2525 the pats offered Joe the biggest contract in the NFL and he only played 11 games and retired . He wouldn't take a pay cut that Rozzole ordered and he walked away from the game
Sadly their defense in that first superbowl played well enough for them to win. I think they forced 2-3 turnovers against the Chiefs. I know Krause had an INT and one of their LB's had one too. Kapp was a good QB.

I’m 73 I loved watching Joe - he was awesome!
If they kept Joe another year or two they would have won a Superbowl! He was a winner!
Joe Kapp !was one hell of a player
Joe Kaap could QB my team anytime. Gotta love a guy like that. A real MAN!
Don't forget that Joe also coached at U Cal Berkeley..."The band is on the field"!
Bud Grant was one of the greatest coaches in NFL history .
and the CFL.
Jim couldn't have said it better if I said it myself

Absolutely

Who needs a Super Bowl, when you've sold the most Squirrel Nut Brand peanut butter !!!!!!!!!

Vikings might have been Super Bowl champs had he stayed.
I cried like a nine year old after Super Bowl 4, Joe was a football Hero of mine. Rest in eternal peace, Joe!!
If the Vikings stuck with Joe Kapp another year or two they win a Superbowl!

love it at 1:24 where Kapp is lying face first on the ground and the ref is only worried about getting the ball back

I remember he leveled a linebacker and knocked him out.

Great guy

Jack London?
The Lonnie Warwick mentioned in this video is a friend of mine.
That was something the game with the 49 ers in the blizzard 🥶
Joe Kapp...the real deal...for whatever reasons good or bad the NFL got pussified. Ok...protect everyone...but at least let me change your diapers
There are no pussies on an NFL field today

1:13 The NFL of the old days -- Completely legal hit back then.
Nothing good about that hit. Cheap shot then (although legal) and now (illegal)
He seamed like a "Heady" player and played his ass off.
After Super Bowl 3 ,Vikes should have worked out the loose ends with Kapp instead of trading him away
Super Bowl 4
Max Winter was cheap like Calvin Griffin. Didn't want to pay Joe I'm guessing after leading the Vikings to Super Bowl 4

Got to meet that legend at my golf course. Funny guy. Walking around the clubhouse with a feather in his hat because he's native :)

tim allen majority of mexicans are a mixture of spanish and indigenous.
Too bad he holds a grudge against Angelo Mosca.
+TheCoog73 Nah, it's one of those hush , hush type of things. We all still carry grudges, just that Kapp was in a position to get even ….so he did.
Mosca was a cheap shot artist in his day and karma payback. Kapp should not have hit him, tho.
