Derek Anderson trivia (1 Viewer)

[Chase Stuart]

Derek Anderson is in his third year in the NFL. Anderson is on pace to finish in the top 5 QBs, sorted by fantasy points. Anderson had fewer than 800 career passing yards before this season.

Name the seven QBs to meet those criteria: that is, finish among the top 5 QBs in fantasy points, in their third year or earlier, when before that season they had fewer than 800 career passing yards. If you expand it to 1,000 passing yards, Staubach and McNabb make the list.

2002: 3rd overall QB in points

Whoever they are, it's going to be some nice company for a young Derek Anderson to be associated with. He's scored over 20 points in every start this season in my league yet he' still seen as a fluke by many. Maybe they are right, but sooner or later the kid has get some props.

Top of my head: Culpepper, Vick, Warner, Romo, Palmer, Bulger.

Now to confirm if I'm right.....

edit:

Culpepper - yes

Vick - yes

Warner - yes

Romo - no

Palmer - no

Bulger - was 6th by my calculations so I guess he doesn't make it

 

[The Shizzle]

Kurt Warner- yes, 1998 (rookie) he had 39 yards, the following year he was 1st in points

Tony Romo- no, 2003 (rookie) he had 2903 career passing yards his 3rd year.

Carson Palmer- no, 2004 (rookie) he had 2897 passing yards.

Marc Bulger- no, he had 1826 yards his 2nd year.

Checking out DA's college career, it suprised me to see that is career completion percentage at Oregon State was 50.7% ...QBs (particularly not mobile ones) that low don't usually stick at the next level.

Same thing goes for QBs who throw 24 INTs in a single season.

When you get Braylon Edwards and KW2, they do.
