Here is a set of Trivia....all about QBs taken in the First round since 2000. (so, note: Tom Brady is NOT an answer to any question....nor anyone else not taken in round 1). Note: I will not repeat the "drafted in round 1 since 2000 for these questions. That is the parameter to apply Try your hand:

All now correctly answered, but I will recap:

1. What QB has won the most games (regular season) in his career?

Ben R. 123 wins. (2d is Eli at 108)

2. What QB, not including last year's rookie class, has the worst won/loss pct. record?

Brady Quinn. 4-16. Including the rookie class, it would have been Goff at 0-7...but like I said, I wanted to give the rooks a break. After Quinn in the "bad" category: Blaine Gabbert is next, then Weeden...then #6 is JFF. Yea, three out of the 6 worst records for starting QBs were Browns QBs. (though with BQ and Weeden, they had a few games with other teams)

3. Who is the only QB, who is now retired, and who started under 20 games that has a career winning record?

Tim Tebow, who is 8-6 in his NFL career!!

4. Three schools have had 3 QBs each drafted in round 1 since 2000. Name these three schools.

USC: Palmer, Sanchez, Leinert

FSU: Emanual, Ponder, Winston

Cal: Rodgers, Goff, Boller

5. Which QB has throw for the most TD passes in his career?

Eli. 320 TD passes. And also, of all QBs drafted since 2000 in the first round he is also the leader in attempts, completions, yards, and interceptions....and yes, Super Bowl victories (tied with BR). (but of course, Brady....2000 6th rounder has his 5 titles)

6. Which QB has gained the most yards rushing?

Michael Vick 6109. Almost twice as many as the next QB.

7. Which QB has run for the most TDs? (Hint, not the same as in #6)

Cam Newton has 48. Vick has about 36

8. Which 2 QBs have made the most Pro Bowls?

Aaron Rodgers and Phillip Rivers. Oddly, BR not as many.

9. Who was the oldest QB at the time he was drafted?

Weeden, age 28. In fact, the next oldest 1st round QB drafted from 2000 to present was only 24 years old. So, Wheezy has this record by a wide, wide margin.

10. Who was the only QB taken in round 1 in the year 2000?

Chad Pennington.

11. How many QBs have been taken #1 overall since 2000?

Twelve: Mr. Make Believe got them all: Carr, Vick, Eli, Bradford, Russell, Palmer, Luck, Goff, Winston, Stafford, Newton, Alex Smith..

(and remember, the two years prior to 2000 it was Couch and Peyton) (but in 1997 it was Jim Drunkenmiller at #26 who was the only QB taken in round 1 that year.

12. How many QBs have been taken with pick #13 overall since 2000?
