Trivia for December 28, 2022

Question

The Browns had their last top-10 quarterback in 2007 – Derek Anderson (using standard scoring, he was the 5th-best quarterback in the league that year). What two teams have gone even longer without a top-10 quarterback?

Answer

Raiders and 49ers. In the 2002 season, Rich Gannon was the No. 2 quarterback (helping Oakland reach the Super Bowl that year). San Francisco that year had Jeff Garcia throwing to Terrell Owens. Garcia finished with the 10th-best quarterbacking numbers that year.

In 2015 Derek Carr had 32 TD passes but finished just outside the top 10 because there were a total of 10 QBs that had 32 TD passes that year. Surprisingly only Allen, Burrow and Mahomes will more than likely be the only Qbs to reach 32 this year.

I had not looked at the overall lay-of-the-land numbers recently. Heading into the season, I figured that there would be maybe a dozen hitting that range (helped by the extra game). If you're taking a quarterbck with an early pick, it would be with the hope/expectation tthat they're hitting up into the 40s. Position fell a little flat this year. Tua and Hurts did their bit to help out. Guys who went early for Mahomes-Allen-Burrow weren't disappointed. But Herbert missed.
