Oh yeah, Eli was drafted by the chargers. Which I guess makes him an answer to the other one.
Jim Plunkett, rookie of the year, comeback player of the year, superbowl MVP, not in the HOF? A little surprising I guess.

Eli is one for Q2.
I am not sure that Plunkett was ROY. We have had this discussion/argument about Plunkett's HOF credentials on here a few times....and while I have been on the fence about putting him in, Zombo...who is vehemently against it, is probably right when he argues that Plunkett's only real poker chip in the HOF consideration are those two titles. Beyond that he had a decent, but not outstanding career. He is by no means high on any leader boards.

His predecessor with the Raiders, Ken Stabler, may actually have better credentials, and he is not in either.

Stabler has almost double the number of wins as a starter than losses. Plunkett was essentially .500

These are all correct, though partial, answers.
There are still 8 #1 picks not yet named who won a title for the team that drafted them. Plus there are 3 others not yet named who won a title with a different team than the one that drafted them. Plus 4 HOFers.

You had to have looked that up. No one would know about George Shaw if they didn't look it up. But these are all correct.
2. Eli, Elway, Keyshawn, George Rogers, John Matuszak, Plunkett
These are all correct...except that there is actually another.
3. Aikman, Elway, Bradshaw, Horning, Bednarik, Charley Trippi...not sure the other 2
actually there are not two more. I was jumping the gun on Peyton Manning and Orlando Pace.

Had to look up after Horning. I'm only 34 after all.

The point about doing the trivia on here is that this is the honor system. You answer what you can without looking it up, and leave the rest for others to try.
If you want to look things up, I suggest you do the research on subjects you want then post your own trivia thread...and let the rest of us answer those.
