So...I got the question right, eh? NO team from the AFC North made that trade!
Am honored to announce- ?nouce.. that The Pittsburgh Steelqueens ?queens..... were the AFC *Central team that gained a measly 3rd round pick, on passing up to Dallas for Emmitt Smith.. Sliding down only 4 picks from pick #17
to pick #21..
Like myself, most forget that Dallas had traded Herschel Walker in Oct. of 1989...for a butt-load of picks from The Soda Vikings.. https://americanfootballdatabase.fandom.com/wiki/Herschel_Walker_trade Browns draft Leroy Hoard in the second..Pukes get RB Barry 'bananas' Foster in the fifth...
Now back to our weekly... Get Stumped by Gipper!

Here is today's Trivia Question: Pro-Football Reference has developed a metric called the Career Average, which is supposed to tell us how productive a player has been in a career or a season. While it is obviously not conclusive of a player's "value"...it is something....and perhaps as good or better than any other metric that has been developed. (If you have something else applicable, by all means, let us know). Also note...this metric does not really measure much if any statistical measurement prior to 1960
Today's question, simply:
Name the Top Ten All Time most productive players in their careers per this system. (since 1960)

This CA metric is actually a fairly good predictor for who will make the HOF.
The 5 guys who have the best CA, and who are/have been eligible for the HOF are: Jim Marshall, Ken Anderson, Eric Allen, Jim Tyrer, Lomas Brown.
As for these 4 my opinion is that Marshall, Anderson, and Allen have been overlooked, and should be in. Jim Tyrer, an OT for the Bears (from Ohio St.) back in the 60s and early 70s is likely not in because he was the pre OJ OJ. Soon after his career ended he ended up killing his wife and then committing suicide (something the gutless OJ should have done). Lomas Brown...IMO, is not worthy, primarily because he came here after really a fine career and played like a POS....he was just here for the money.
That means that you should expect all of the following to make the HOF:
Brady
Peyton
Rivers
Ben R
Aaron Rodgers
Julius Peppers
Matt Ryan

While you are thinking about that one, here are a couple more questions: A. Who is the last Browns player to return a punt for a TD. B. Who is the last Browns player to return a Kickoff for a TD.

Before I give you the Trivia Question of the Day, which is about 4th qtr. comeback victories by QBs in a season , I want to give you a bit of information about the Browns and their comebacks. The Browns record for a QB for most Browns 4th qtr. comebacks in a season is 5. And, as you may guess, this WAS done by Brian Sipe....but NOT in the so called Kardiac Kids year of 1980, but rather, the year before in 1979 when he had those 5 comebacks. In the 1980 season he only had 3 4th qtr. comeback victories. The following Browns QBs had 4 4th qtr. comeback wins in a season: Brian Hoyer, Bernie Kosar....and Mike Phipps...Twice!!.
So, to the Triva Question:
Name the 8 QBs in NFL history who had 6 or more 4th Qtr. comeback victories in a season. Note, one guy did it twice.
