	what!? vinny testaverde can't be a day over 23.

	Donnn:	Jan 25th, 2011 at 19:56 GMT	2 points
	Wheres Jamarcus Russell? The world may never know...

	jshep:	Jan 25th, 2011 at 20:18 GMT	3 points
	Never in a million years would have got 1980. Must have typed in Young (Steve) three times before stopping to think about who else was drafted that year -- still did not believe the answer even after I typed it in and it was accepted!

Comment below threshold: show it

	@verne: At first I read your comment and thought, "What a dick", then I noticed your user name and had a nice chuckle. How appropriate.

	Havok3595:	Jan 25th, 2011 at 21:21 GMT	4 points
	Yay for "guess random common names" strategy to get the second to least guessed.

	pete32782:	Jan 25th, 2011 at 21:25 GMT	1 point
	@Havok3595 I got him by accident also, but I was just thinking through teams and thought of Wade Wilson when I got to the Vikings.

	mattrollins:	Jan 25th, 2011 at 21:46 GMT	2 points
	As a Bills fan, I'm flabbergasted to see Trent Edwards at the top spot of ANYTHING. Really, 2007 QB draft class?

	teh_DR:	Jan 25th, 2011 at 22:36 GMT	3 points
	Jamarcus Russell is probably somewhere lying on top of his mountain of cash and DAT PURPLE DRANK

	Theone36952s:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 00:05 GMT	2 points
	A dearth of good QBs in the 2007 draft class, I suppose.

	BobMillahhh:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 00:25 GMT	0 points
	How can so few people guess Chris Everett? Is it because of the phantom sack?

	djroars:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 00:32 GMT	1 point
	The number of ex-Vikings on this list is amazing, considering Minny's lack of success: Favre, Gus Frerotte, Jeff George, Randall Cunningham, Brad Johnson. And if I recall, they tried to talk Marino out of retirement ten years ago just like they did with Brett, and if only Warren Moon had been actually been drafted... Man, they loved washed up QB's don't they?

	pabloplyr:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 00:59 GMT	0 points
	djroars im not a vikings fan but the viking have the fifth highest winning percentage since the AFL-NFL merger. Know your facts

	djroars:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 01:19 GMT	1 point
	I, in fact, am a vikings fan. I am quite aware they have won lots of games in the regular season and been to the playoffs plenty of times, but they've still never won the big one, and have crushed fans' spirits in a variety of ways. And besides, all the super bowls they made were before 1980, the starting point for this quiz.

	Ben:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 02:11 GMT	3 points
	I don't usually post comments in my own quizzes, but these were fun to make... so here are the "sequels" http://www.sporcle.com/games/Ben/cutis_enis_anyone http://www.sporcle.com/games/Ben/yards_schmards

	pete32782:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 03:29 GMT	3 points
	@djroars and there's a decent possibility they'll be the ones to sign McNabb this offseason. So....trend continues. LOL

	t_switch101:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 06:55 GMT	2 points
	@djroars. Consider which ex-Vikings we're talking about here: Favre - 2 years starting at age 39 Frerotte - 3 nonconsecutive years starting at age 33 (and didn't start until age 37) George - 1 year at age 31 Cunningham - 3 years starting at age 34 So basically, Minnesota has spent the last two decades as a retirement home for upper tier quarterbacks. Not surprising they haven't won many Super Bowls...

	TexasHolders:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 13:26 GMT	2 points
	@jshep: Young was drafted in the 1984 supplemental draft, not 1980.

	Wilson:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 14:49 GMT	1 point
	Surprisingly tough question. Good one!!!

	asdffdsaasdffdsa:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 17:47 GMT	4 points
	Darn it Marino and Elway being drafted in the same year taking away an easy answer.

	asdffdsaasdffdsa:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 18:07 GMT	3 points
	Btw epic win on making the url tag what_no_ryan_leaf

	Tom_Tildrum:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 19:08 GMT	2 points
	It's amusing to see Frerotte on here.

	1996: A dark year for quarterbacks.

	pirate6711:	Jan 27th, 2011 at 00:12 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. Nice seeing Chrissy Everett on there.

	Murf1013:	Jan 27th, 2011 at 16:38 GMT	0 points
	This quiz has a bug. It won't let you get them all correct.

	Lucian:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 19:55 GMT	1 point
	I thought colt mccoy had more yards then bradford

	Wolfie0890:	Oct 25th, 2011 at 04:57 GMT	1 point
	@ Lucian. Mccoy only started 8 games. Bradford had all 16. And who would have thought Edwards would lead the 07 class with more yards than both Quinn and Russell.

	DaveS:	Dec 27th, 2011 at 22:19 GMT	1 point
	Tony freaking Banks man. Fumble city. 1996 was awful. Banks was taken in the middle of the 2nd and he was the first QB taken in that draft.

	Glass9:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 05:17 GMT	1 point
	Man, you think that Aaron Rodgers would've passed Jason Campbell by now. And you'd think after that 5000 yard season Stafford would've passed Dirty Sanchez.

	stamp:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 03:02 GMT	1 point
	I thought about typing in Ryan Leaf, and then just burst out laughing. No way.

	parkerlandon:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 17:29 GMT	1 point
	aaron rodgers surpassed campbell this year with a little over 17,000 career passing

	parkerlandon:	Jan 7th, 2012 at 17:34 GMT	1 point
	@glass sanchez still has 1,500 more than stafford as of the 2011 season.
