Sporcle Quiz of the Day: First QBs

I'm going to try and do a Sporcle quiz every day and post it. Because Sporcle is awesome. I'll put a giant spoiler word before I talk about the quiz so you can avoid my discussion if you want to take it first.

First QBs Taken Since 1983

SPOILER

I think I could have probably aced this with more time. I got 17, but I was typing more when the time ran out. I was working on JaMarcus Russell and missed out on he and the last three seasons because of the time limit.

I blanked on Vinny Testaverde, that's the most embarrassing miss for me. Outside of that, I missed on Everett, Chandler, McGwire, Klinger and Druckenmiller. I probably could have gotten Chandler and Klingler eventually, but that's it.

In a fifteen year span, the Colts took the first quarterback in the draft four times. The fact that they never got a franchise player out of that is astounding. Elway worked out elsewhere, and Chandler and George had good seasons (again, elsewhere), but it took four tries in fifteen seasons to finally get a good QB that stayed in Indy.

Also, there's a Coug on here. Go Cougs.
