How about Warren Moon and Dan Marino.

But probably not Ryan Leaf.

Check on Moon.   Marino already named.

And Leaf was just a bit outside of the cut.  (did he even throw 10 TD passes?)

I feel like an idiot. Duh, on Warren Moon. As far as Eli, I was figuring he was at 98 or 99. It always seemed like he was 8-8 or 9-7. Rivers has been playing nearly 20 years, that should have been obvious.

Matt Ryan is a surprise, but he's nipping on Rivers in terms of longevity. Matt Ryan making this list is like Matt Stafford and Sam Bradford (probably) making the Top 17 best paid QBs of all time. They were each in that 2-3 year sweet spot, throw Jamarcus Russell in there, of getting a $70-$72M rookie contract.

It appears you have  only 3 actual answers, but you did not give the team:

Lawrence Taylor is correct, and I will give that you would identify the Giants as that team.

You also said Ray Lewis, which is correct, but you left out the team. Again, I will assume you know that his team was the Ravens. 

Billy White Shoes Johnson is incorrect.......as far as the franchise is concerned....but hint....not as far as the city is concerned where both players played.
