RB Reggie CobbPretty sure you got the RBs right. Another WR that comes close but Misses is Sean Dawkins with ~6300 career rec yards. best TE I could find was Greg Delong with 257 yards?

Let me try the Chiefs
QB-Warren Moon - Ended career in KC in 1999-2000.
Ron Jaworski - Ended his career in KC in 1989 - Marty's first season
David Kreig - signed here for 92 and 93 - the trade for Joe Montana is what kept him ON this list.
RBs-Mike Pruitt - Career 7378 Yds 2-time Pro Bowler ended career in 85-86 with KC.
John Brockington - Great GB back finished career on worst KC team ever in 1977.
John Stephens - was 1988 PB'er as a rookie for NE played for KC in 1993
WRs-Joe Horn drafted by KC; went onto multiple PB's with NO
Brett Perriman - one year wonder in DET who parlayed it into all of 6 catches after KC signed him to a big deal
Webster Slaughter - one season in KC was 1995
Eric Martin - Former NO Pro Bowler ended in KC
TE
Paul Coffman - former GB Pro Bowler came back home in 86-87 to end his career.
EDIT.....If I had to pare it down.....I would go....

I don't think the Giants are going to do too well in this game. Larry Csonka and Ed McCaffrey come to mind, but both may have spent a little too much time with the Giants to qualify for the under 15% rule. Herschel Walker comes to mind as well. I can't think of any QBs or TEs of note that fit under the 15% rule.

NYG QB = Kurt Warner (although Milt Plum is a cooler option!)NYG TE = Emery Moorehead

You guys are doing a great job of picking out some players that my program didn't get. Pollard is a great addition to a stacked squad. And yes, I think the Seahawks take it.

I could be wrong, but I don't show DeLong as ever playing for the Jags. Troy Sadowski is your guy according to my calculations.Other than that, the Jags team above, with Reggie Cobb in place of Zack Crockett per the JM4Steelers suggestion, looks good.Pretty sure you got the RBs right. Another WR that comes close but Misses is Sean Dawkins with ~6300 career rec yards. best TE I could find was Greg Delong with 257 yards?

Norm Snead is your QB.Your TE is Todd Christensen! See, that's what this game is all about. I had no idea he played for the Giants until my program spit him out just now.

Stabler doesn't quite qualify for the Oilers team. Dave Krieg is your QB.Gary Garrison actually gets the slight total yardage nod over Lionel Taylor.
Casper also doesn't quite qualify. Jimmie Giles could be your TE.

The Cowboys have some decent RB2 options, Adrian Murrell and J.D. Smith being the best of them.The Cowboys have an unbelievably deep WR group. They have 13 receivers who either had a 1000-yard season or went to a Pro Bowl, plus Reggie Rucker and Duriel Harris!
WR: Jimmy Smith
WR: Terrell Owens
WR: Lance Alworth
WR: Anthony Miller
WR: Harold Carmichael
WR: Tommy McDonald
WR: Reggie Rucker
WR: Darnay Scott
WR: Bobby Joe Conrad
WR: Sonny Randle
WR: Buddy Dial
WR: Peerless Price
WR: Duriel Harris
WR: Ray Mathews
WR: Willie Jackson

You've got all the starters. Chris Calloway edges out Emanuel for that first bench slot.

Delong never gathered any stats with the Jags, but played in 4 games for them in 2000. 0/0/0 in those games. His SI player page shows Jag Logo. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/players/3455/

DD -- Should I bother trying with the Steelers? I have a feeling its going to be a bunch of people from the 30s-50s that no one had heard of or will remember. Don't want to bother if that's the case.
Doug Drinen

The Steelers don't have a particularly illustrious squad. Their QB is from the 60s. Their RBs are from the 80s and the 00s. Both WRs are from the 90s. Tight end from the 50s whom I'd never heard of him but was pretty good.

With not as much effort as I was using last night....
QB: Unitas
RBs: Duce Staley, ???
WRs: Terrence Mathis, David Dunn? (was thinking Jeff Graham but he's just over 15%)
TE: ?

That's not bad. John L Williams is your other RB. Chris Calloway is your other WR. Pete Brewster is the guy at TE.

You nailed it. Greg Pruitt as RB3 and Andre Rison as WR3 makes for a very solid squad here.

I can't believe I forgot about Warner. I would have never thought of Sneed or the TEs.

Emery Moorehead actually outgained Mike Barber by just a hair. Other than that, you've got it (assuming Rice is allowable --- otherwise it's Flipper Anderson).

For those wanting "answers," here they are.
http://pro-football-reference.com/junk/heplayedforthem.htm
On that page, I've included more than just the required number at each position, but the scoring is based on the top QB and TE and the top two RBs and WRs.
Also note that you guys have come up with quite a few players that my program wasn't able to pick out. Most notably
1. guys who are playing for new franchises in 2007 (e.g. Marcus Pollard and Randy Moss)
2. guys who were on a particular team but never played a game for them (e.g. Steve Largent for the Oilers and Jerry Rice for the Broncos)

How about the N.O. Saints?
QB - Richard Todd
RB - Lamar Smith
RB - Earl Campbell
WR - Eddie Kennison
WR - Jake Reed (Haywood Jeffires is close)
TE - Andrew Glover
RB was much tougher than I thought. Campbell was easy, but I thought for sure Chuck Muncie would qualify. Not even close. About half of his yardage came with the Saints. Bad memory. Then again, I was only 7.
I also thought Wes Chandler would qualify. Nope. He had decent stats in N.O. too.
Thanks, Doug...that was fun. Now I'll go see how I did...

Assuming he stays healthy this year, McNair will exceed 15% and get replaced by Harbaugh.Vinnie T and Shannon Sharpe just missed the 15% cutoff. Priest missed by more than I expected (around 24%)
Federal
Footballguy
For TE I would guess Jay Novacek, but he may have exceeded the 15% criteria (was a St. Louis Cardinal), same goes for Freddie Jones.WR Could be Ahmad Rashaad or Eric Metcalf if you list him at WR...

Doug:
It depends on how define this. If pre-season count's it's vastly different than making a roster.
Largent for the Oilers is one example of this - you will also miss guys like LeCharles Bentley (I know he's a C) who sign a contract and never play for the team.
So you've got:
- Ever been on roster
- On regular season roster (includign/excluding IR)
- Played regular or post- season game
Didn't Rice play for the Broncos, but amass no stats?

looking into this a little more, I may have missed someone, but the Ravens have a more respectable total than I expected:QB R. Cunningham 34907Mungo Burrows said:
RB E. Byner 12866
RB T. Allen 10215
WR T.Owens 11874*
WR F. Sanders 6753
TE B. Coates 5555
Total: 82170
* This is using the liberal "as long as he was under contract at some point" interpretation like Jerry Rice counting for the Broncos. He was technically traded from SF then traded to Philly. If not, then Marcus Robinson moves in for a net -7166
Edit to: replace McNair with Randall Cunningham and update total
