Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Check back tomorrow for a post on quarterbacks, but first, here are a couple of trivia questions you can use at your barbeque, centering around the most famous father in the NFL.
The Mannings, lined up from most to fewest rings
As you may know, Archie Manning has the lowest winning percentage of any quarterback in NFL history (minimum 50 games started). Manning finished his career with a 35-101-3 record, including an 0-10 record as a member of the Oilers and Vikings in the early ’80s.
Since Manning retired, three more quarterbacks have lost at least 100 games. Can you name them?
Warren Moon went 102-101-0. Brett Favre, pending any more comebacks, finished his career with a 186-112-0 record. Vinny Testaverde owns the most losses in NFL history, compiling a 90-123-1 record.
But Peyton and Eli’s dad wasn’t the first quarterback to record 100 losses. So today, see if you can stump your dad with this trivia question: Who was the first NFL QB to lose 100 regular season games?
Fran Tarkenton (124-109-6 career record) was the first NFL quarterback to record 100 losses. Here’s a link to the boxscore from his 100th loss. Happy Father’s Day!
