BillyWhiteShows Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) A QB from my childhood passed away. Former Vikings QB Wade Wilson died today in Texas. I will forever remember him from my football cards and of course Techmo Super Bowl RIP Edited February 1, 2019 by BillyWhiteShows 2
KD in CA Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Wow, that sucks. He was still a young man. RIP

row_33 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 RIP I'm such an AFC snob I thought of the Raiders first for his teams.... 1
Mark Vader Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 He lead the Vikings in that huge upset over the 49'ers in the 1987 divisional playoffs. That was probably the biggest upset that the Bill Walsh era 49'ers ever suffered. RIP Wade Wilson 1

TigerJ Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 That's an eye opener. He was 7 years younger than I am. 1

RIP Wade Wilson The biggest upset was the Niners losing to the Giants in the 1990 NFC title game, Joe got taken out by Marshall and Young couldn’t hold on to the lead. Then the Gs beat the Bills in a bigger upset. Edited February 2, 2019 by row_33
stuvian Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 That is so young. Always liked him as player 1

RocCityRoller Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 always considered Wilson and Gannon in the same class in the late 80's and 90's. Good journeymen QBs that can make a run if the rest of the team is good. Keenum and Foles remind me of them a bit. Either way 60 is young. RIP Wilson family.

The Vikings upset in '87 came out of nowhere. 1
