replies: text: What do you have in mind?<G>. (Of course, it might have helped if I'd typed 3-G-grandson, but I fixed it now). Everyone has 32 great-great-great-grandparents: two of Steve Young's are Brigham Young and Joseph Young. I could give you the lines of descent, but somehow I feel it's too genealogical to put in an article... -- Someone else 04:01, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

text: Actually, it states, "best known as quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers". Gentgeen 07:20, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Not sure if he is actually still getting paid, but its definitely possible. The 49ers were still paying Jerry Rice even when he was playing with the Raiders and the Seahawks (part of the contract/trade, can't find the link) Jklharris 12:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The current version of the article includes currentteam=San Francisco 49ers and currentnumber=8 in the infobox.  He isn't currently playing for the 49ers (or any other team), so is this really appropriate?  On the other hand, his jersey has been retired, and I think the only way to note where he was when he retired is by using the currentteam and currentnumber parameters.  What do people think?

replies: text: No, the |currentteam parameter is only for current members of teams. I've removed the entire parameter. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: But it's still showing "No. 8" in the infobox.  Because of the number=8 parameter, I assume?  Should that be removed too?  Richwales (talk) 23:39, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, as I just said (in my reply on my talk page), the number parameter, for retired players, is for their numbers over their career. Notice that there are parameters for "currentnumber" and "number," while there is only a parameter for "currentteam." Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:50, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

message: isn't this more valid? i mean, aaron rodgers has only played a few years, and i'm sure young's was higher at that stage of his career. i remember a lot of talk amongst analysts in the late 90s about him retiring before he lost his +100 rating.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.24.43 (talk) 06:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Highest Passer Rating Amongst Retired Players 

message: For "College NCAA Division I records:", this entire section needs to either be revised or deleted.  The footnote(8) refers to an article from November 1983, and so the section should clearly state that the records listed are as of that date (if this is true). They are most certainly not current records (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_football_records#Passing). What stood out immediately as an egregious error, which prompted me to write this, was the first record listed - 1,832 career games gaining 300 yards or more?
Strongly recommend research-->revise or complete deletion.
