Surprised?

extremely surprised.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

@broncosmitty was correcto mundo in stating that two were packers

need a Louie toot

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Here's another huge hint:

Peyton Manning
John Elway
Troy Aikman
Warren Moon
Phil Sims

One of them is .500
The rest below .500

Surprised?

I would have guessed Sims....

 

[Mebert]

Is this 50 games total, or 50 games against above 500 teams. I would be curious to see where Rodgers sits percentage wise at the moment. Russell Wilson too

 

[Mebert]

Just 50 games in general. Players with at least 50 starts.

Am I just not seeing Stafford and Rodgers from this list then?

 

[RobBase]

I delete my post cuz I think it's 50 starts vs winning teams. Something both probably have a ways to go.

That makes sense. My guess is Wilson will be near the top by the end of his career

It might be tough if he stays in the NFC West his whole career.

Nice to see Jim Kelly on there, didn't think he measured up to the other greats on this. Nice to see he did.
