Oh, just about everyone on here has seen it, talked about it some. Don't know what other kind of metric that would be available that you could place all players, regardless of position into the same pot. Also, as I said, doing one of these each day does demand some creativity. I will try to come up with something more conventional tonight.

The Gipper Posted August 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I am again going to refer to the Pro Football Reference Production Average statistic. According that metric....w 9 players had THE best/most productive seasons in history with an annual score of 24 or more? (It only goes back to like 1960...so don't worry about any years before that) Name those 9 players. Putting you all out of your misery. Answers: Rolland Lawrence 1977 27 Samari Rolle 2000 27 LaDanian Tomlinson 2006 26 Marshall Faulk 1999 25 Lamar Jackson 2019 25 OJ Simpson 1975 25 Lem Barney 1969 24 Tom Brady 2007 24 Rod Woodson 1990 24.

The Gipper Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Here is today's trivia question. The Top 25 seasons in terms of Most Passes Completed in a Season are held by just 11 QBs. (so obviously several QBs are on the top 25 list more than once) Name these 11 QBs. And to make it easier for you: Every one of those 25 seasons has been in this century. So no need to think about going back too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 7 hours ago, Icecube said: Marino, Favre, Brees, Fouts, Brady, Peyton, Moon, Montana. Only Brees and Peyton are correct. That is right. Brady is not in there. And remember what I said: none before the year 2000...so that would have eliminated Moon and Montana and maybe Marino right there.
