[edit] Longevity

Besides the 26 seasons, I believe Blanda at 342 games holds No. 1 position for longevity among QB,WR and RB (Rice next at 303). Next QB Earl Morrall at 255 games.--Billymac00 02:20, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Is longevity among QB/WR/RBs a commonly-tracked statistic? I can certainly see the use of it (positions that get tackled a lot), but I just haven't heard of it before. If you can provide independent documentation of Blanda's place on the list, I'd say add it here and maybe also to the NFL records (individual) page, if it is an "official" commonly tracked statistic.

[edit] picture

ok, I know that NFL pictures aren't public domain, but is there an actual picture of him, rather than a sculpture? My first impression when I opened this page was that I was looking at Socrates, haha. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.188.105.226 (talk) 05:32, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
