I should have never admitted my mistake on the JBL board. I've created a monster.

[Aylmar]

Kerrry Collins has thrown for 9,000 yards as a Giant, hasn't he?

[Draft Dodger]

#1 would have been Tony Dorsett, if not for the 1982 strike.

actually, if not for that interruption, he would have had an amazing 9 straight.

[Draft Dodger]

dola - and I think the answer to #1 is Eric Dickerson.

is football-reference.com gone?

[Marmel]

Here are the ones that have been answered correctly:

1) Barry Sanders and Erik Dickerson (good job DD)
2) (somebody) and (somebody else)

3) Collins, Tarkenton, Tittle, and (somebody)

[Aylmar]

Bummer...I totally missed the fact that Collins had already been mentioned...

it's got a new URL. no cheating!

[Samdari]

What is the new football-reference URL please. And its not cheating, its research.

I would gues the only ones to lead the league first three years are Jim Brown and Dickerson, with Earl Campbell being my third guess.

I would have to guess Otto (not to be confused with Kent) Graham as the 4th Giant.

[Marmel]

Jim Brown and Earl Campbell are correct for #2. nice work!

We just need that final Giants QB. It is not Graham, Kent or otherwise. :)

[BFleming]

Took a well-placed phone call, but #3 is:

Y.A. Tittle
Kerry Collins
Fran Tarkenton
Charlie Conerly :D

[Marmel]

...and that concludes this edition of 'Some NFL Trivia'

I recall a good Superbowl trivia website that I will try to look up later for more questions.

[sabotai]

Charlie Conerly is the last Giants QB

[sabotai]

Damn, FLeming beat me...if only I hadn't taken time to take a sip of my white grape juice.....

[BFleming]

the grape juice will kill ya sabotai :p
