The Gipper Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Answers: 1. In the past, the NFL has issued uniform numbers between 00 and 0 to 99. A Hall of Famer has worn every one of these 100 or so numbers except 4 numbers. Give a guess as to the 4 uniform numbers never worn by a Pro Football Hall of Famer. Numbers 43, 69, 90, 97 2. What school has had the most alumni inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Notre Dame 13. USC 12, Ohio State 10, Michigan 9 3. Which current Big Ten school is the ONLY one to have never had a PFHOFer as an alumi? Rutgers Ironic, since they were one of the teams in the first collegiate football game ever in 1869. the best players to come out of Rutgers are Ray Rice and Devin McCourty. 4. The SEC has 3 schools that have never had a PFHOFer as an alumni. Name these 3 schools. Mississippi St. Vanderbilt. South Carolina Not sure who the closest have been from these schools. Maybe Sterling Sharpe or John Abraham from SC? Jerry Rice was from Mississippi VALLEY St....not the same. Hell...from MSU...Dak Prescott may have the best chance in the future....if he really turns out to be something...that he is not now. And Jay Cutler is probably the best player to come out of Vandy...and he ain't making it. 5. Which NFL teams have never had someone whose career primarily was with that team inducted into the PFHOF ? The new teams...Texans, Jags, Panthers. Tony Boselli of the Jags has been a finalist before, may still get in. In the future, the likes of JJ Watt, Luke Keuchley, Cam Newton could get nods for the DATs and Panthers. Note: New team Ravens have had players make it: Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden. 6. Which NFL team has had the most persons whose career was primarily with that team inducted into the HOF (can include players/owners/coaches/admins)? The Chicago Bears with 28 people. Next is the Packers with 25. Both have been around since 1920/21. Browns have 16 people. 7. Give your best guess: How many Quarterbacks are currently members of the PFHOF? There are currently 32. There will be a few shoe ins to come: Peyton/Brady/Brees/BR etc. (Otto only Browns primary.) 8. What is the most common last name of a person inducted into the PFHOF? Brown: Paul, Jim, Bob, Tim, Willie, Roosevelt. There are 4 Taylors and 4 Joneses, and three with the following names: Davis, Allen, Green, Sanders, Smith, Thomas 9. What does this list represent: Bob Keuchenberg, John Lynch, LC Greenwood, Don Coryell. These are the people who have been HOF finalists the most times and who have still never gotten in: Keuchenberg 8, Lynch 6, Greenwood 6, Corryell 5 10. What does this list represent: Lynn Swann, Carl Eller, Paul Hornung, Jerry Kramer, Tom Mack, Willie Wood. These are the people that had to wait double digit years as finalists...before finally getting in: Swann 14, Eller 13, Hornung 12, Kramer 11, Mack 11, Wood 10 Bonus: Canton, Ohio is the site of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 3 natives of Canton are in the HOF. Name them. Dan Dierdorf, Alan Page, Marion Motley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my guess of 37 I went to look up the answers that i didn't know i counted 34 qbs but i did count blanda as a qb (not sure if he got in as kicker or qb or both) Edit: I now see Conzelman was a coach as well so if he made it as a coach and blanda as a kicker that would get me to the 32. Is that the correct way of looking at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the correct way of looking at it? Well...I counted 32...but I included Blanda. There may have been some early on guys that were listed as like HB/QB that I may have missed.

The Gipper Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Like I said, I may not have counted a couple of those...or I miscounted. But there you have the list of HOF QBs. I did another thread on HOF QBs....ones who will get in that have not yet. We figured the following: Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rivers, BR, Eli.......and a few others that maybe could be headed that way (Wilson, Newton) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
