Although I missed McNabb and Reid... I felt that this quiz was one of the more challenging quizzes offered on this site. Due to this I was very elated with my result, only missing the one pair!!....You definitely have to know your stuff for this one good job whoever made this quiz!!!!

I got them all but took me a long time to remember Fisher/McNair. Most of the rest of them are recent or legendary I guess.

Only QB I missed was Staubach. Really got stuck on the coaches. I could picture what the looked like, but missed 6 of those. Frustrating because I know who all of them were, just couldn't get the names out of my brain.

McCarthy was fired by the Packers in December 2018.

And good riddance too. His conservative play-calling wasted the better part of Aaron Rodgers's career.

Hello Quizmaster, Drew Brees is retired and that should be reflected in this quiz and the Team Passing Leaders quiz.

Worth noting that while the Broncos won 89 games with Elway and Reeves, they lost all the Super Bowls that Reeves took them to, all by double digits and getting more and more lopsided each time. ("Q: How many Denver Broncos does it take to change a tire? A: One, unless it's a blowout, in which case they all show up.") Reeves is one of those coaches, like Mike McCarthy and Jason Garrett, who probably held their teams back through unimaginative play calling but kept their jobs longer than they deserved because of the talent they had to work with.

And while we're hoping that Bart Starr rests in peace, the same goes double for poor Steve McNair. He certainly did not die in peace.

Got them all. Holmgren took a while, but I was able to dig him up. Very good idea for a quiz.

Crazy how modern-skewed this is. To have Flacco in the top 10 is just whack.

Quarterbacks are more durable now due to the rule changes to protect them.

Why is is whack? The Ravens have had quite a few good years in the last decade +. Also, it has a lot to do with how long the coach and quarterback stay together on the same team. Flacco and Harbaugh both came to the Ravens in 2008 and stayed together through the 2018 season. That's 11 years together...

I knew Tom Landry and Rodger Staubach from watching King of the Hill. I dont know anything about football before the 80s.
