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.

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?

Dang! Forgot to put the end on the end of Shannon Sharpe. I think I got a respectable 16, 17 if I'd spelled Sharpe right.

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?

@ 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.

I think you should put an "*" by people who are currently playing.

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.

@imforbucky - Irving Fryar actually played for the Marino lead Dolphins for three years in early 90s

The star on Derrick Mason should be removed as he just retired.

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.

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?

I almost typed Muhammed's name, but I thought it'd have been a waste of effort and time. Shucks. Hard to believe Lance Alworth and Wes Chandler didn't make the list. I like your football quizzes, Matt.
