	Excellent game here.

	I better not see anyone get a 0/30 on this one, lol. The top guy on the list has his picture next to the game on the homepage. If you don't know who he is, I don't know how big of a football fan you could possibly be. Anyway, I got 15/30. My problem was that I was reaching too far back into history for my answers. With a couple of exceptions, most of the guys on this list played within the last 20-30 years. I kept forgetting that the seasons were shorter back in the day and teams didn't pass nearly as much as they do now.

	25/30. I think Jesus in Cleats should be acceptable for Jerry Rice.

	poor eric moulds: 9,995 career yards. im sure as soon as jeff fisher takes this quiz, he will take proper action.

	I made the same mistakes as Matt8204. I actually thought of Muhammad, then said "Naaaaaah, no way." Oops. Isaac Bruce is number three? Are you ****ting me?

Comment below threshold: show it

	wow-i guessed bruce on a whim and he was 3rd all-time? wtf? couldn't spell muhammad right-but i got 28/30

	Interesting that the two all-time passing leaders, Favre and Marino, do not have a receiver that they threw to on this list (I'm not counting that Favre had Rison for about half a season).

	I got a 15/30, but to be fair I was guessing the wrong Clark and the wrong Jackson. And we got a twofer with Smith. Still, a lot of fun.

	good quiz, although i stupidly thought it was only wide receivers and missed gonzo and sharpe. very fun, how about career rushing yards leaders?

	Camden:	Oct 28th, 2008 at 00:32 GMT	2 points
	@ imforbucky - good point! Very interesting. Especially considering that guys like Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson, Mark Brunell, Randall Cunningham, and Mark Rypien all have two each on here. Crazy.

	nearlyextinct:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 17:12 GMT	7 points
	I think you should put an "*" by people who are currently playing.

	MaxQ:	Feb 19th, 2009 at 16:47 GMT	2 points
	I agree with extinct. The little things like that help a lot.

	Mello:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 15:22 GMT	3 points
	26/30, but I don't know how I managed to think of Stanley Morgan. I always forget that Andre Rison actually had a pretty good career in the league, and I honestly don't know who Harold Jackson is.

	Updated the totals, added the * and a source and just generally got this quiz ready for football season.

	RappinHobo:	Jul 25th, 2009 at 23:16 GMT	-1 points
	The star on Derrick Mason should be removed as he just retired.

	cardspartan:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 18:49 GMT	0 points
	Wow, Henry Ellard is 8th all-time? Pulled that one out of thin air!

	hines ward!!!! needs to be updated

	bwrice:	Jun 17th, 2010 at 22:25 GMT	0 points
	Well I wasted about 0:30 seconds trying to spell Benjamin Watson correctly only to find out later that he and his 5 TDs were never listed.

	with the way the league is going, i wont be surprised if the top 30 are all active players in a few years haha

	akabuca96:	Jan 17th, 2012 at 01:35 GMT	0 points
	Moss is no longer active

	spybloom:	May 18th, 2012 at 15:05 GMT	1 point
	Crazy how some guys like Henry Ellard are overlooked, considering his numbers.. I wasn't into football back when he was playing, so I don't know what happened there. Was he just completely overshadowed by Jerry Rice?

	mdeyre:	May 25th, 2012 at 15:42 GMT	1 point
	Funney that a top 9 guy is only guessed right 9% of the time - Ellard.
