Trivia Questions and Answers

The Gipper

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.

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.

Oh I bet it does... Not an easy task to come up with something new every day, for sure.

Clayton is the only correct answer.

Stokely Carmichael played a different position in a different league. He played QB for the Black Panthers of the Pan-African League.

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.
