Top 10 Worst NFL Quarterbacks of All Time
Every football fan knows that the quarterback is the field general, the player who leads their team to victory or defeat. While many QBs have etched their names in the annals of NFL history as legends, there are those whose careers have been marred by poor decisions, ill-fated throws, and a painful lack of skill. These signal-callers have left fans bewildered, frustrated, and even heartbroken with their less-than-stellar performances. Today, we honor the worst of the worst, the quarterbacks who have earned their place on this unfortunate list due to their mind-boggling stats, unforgettable blunders, and unforgettable failures.
Ryan David Leaf is a former American football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League for four seasons. He was selected as the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft after only Peyton Manning. He played for the San Diego Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys, and Seattle... read more Ryan Leaf is horrible. Look at his stats! I think Josh Allen is going to be the next Ryan Leaf.
Blaine Williamson Gabbert is an American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. Gabbert is the biggest bust in the NFL currently. He makes too many poor throws and too many poor decisions.
JaMarcus Trenell Russell is a former American football quarterback. He played college football at LSU, where he finished 21–4 as a starter and was named MVP of the 2007 Sugar Bowl. Russell was drafted by the Oakland Raiders with the first overall pick in the 2007 draft. He was out of the NFL after... read more The worst years of my life were growing up watching Russell ruin our team and tarnish our name. I would rather have Tony Romo as the Raiders quarterback than JaMarcus Russell. He is the reason everybody says the Raiders suck.
Dumbest, fattest, most overpaid, worthless piece of junk ever.
The sad thing is that a rookie is doing better than him right now.
He's got the prototype body but is like a deer in the headlights in critical situations. He never improved, despite years of chances.
I think he is awful because he has 0% skill, despite having great people to pass to, so he has no excuses. I mean, he really does suck. He's bad, horrible. Altogether, he is the worst quarterback ever to hit the field. Throw a ball to one of the best receivers, and he still sucks.
Lots of excuses are made around Cleveland for this bust, like the O-line. Did the other 31 teams he tried out for have bad O-lines too?
John Matthew Stafford is an American football quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League.The #1 overall pick in 2009 selected by The Detroit Lions, Stafford has a critical acclaim in his stats.
Stafford is the fastest player in NFL history to reach 30,000 passing... read more
Calvin Johnson only makes him look good. If Stafford had Brady's receivers, he'd be about as good as Alex Smith or Joe Flacco. He's the most overrated QB right now.
Antonio Ramiro Romo is an American football television analyst and former quarterback who played 14 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. By far the worst QB in the league for a decade. I wish people would stop worshiping him. He would have been cut by any other team. He's stolen 10 years of my life.
I'm surprised that with Texas supposedly being a football state, Romo hasn't been assassinated.
Absolutely blows. One of the worst QBs in the whole 2000s era.
Jonathan Paul Manziel is an American professional Canadian football quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. He was drafted by the NFL's Cleveland Browns with the 22nd overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft. Towards the end of the 2015 season, Manziel endured numerous scandals,... read more
He led his team to a 62-7 loss in 2011. This guy deserves more recognition for how bad he truly was.
Bryce Petty is terrible. He can't even throw one touchdown pass, and most of his throws are incomplete. He plays like a leaf and is very bad. Can't he just finish his NFL career already? He is like Ryan Leaf, with more interceptions than touchdown passes. He should do something else besides football.
He can't even throw one touchdown pass and is a bust. He only throws incompletions. He also plays like a leaf and is very bad. He is the second-worst NFL quarterback after Ryan Leaf. Just fire him from the NFL and let him do another profession, please!
Trevor Siemian is an American football quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League.
He previously played for the Denver Broncos, winning Super Bowl 50 with the team as a backup.
Timothy Richard Tebow is an American professional baseball outfielder in the New York Mets organization and a former professional American football player in the National Football League. Inarguably the most annoying football player ever.
Jameis L. Winston is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. By far the worst I've ever seen. How can you still be a sore loser after all these years of being so good at it?
Russell Carrington Wilson is an American football quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and formerly for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League.
Patrick Lavon Mahomes II (born September 17, 1995) is an American football player who is currently a quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. He had one of the worst quarterback performances in Super Bowl history. He is really overrated and can't win the Super Bowl like Tom Brady did seven times. He is 1-1. He's got good stats, but every quarterback today has good stats.
Alexander Douglas Smith is an American football quarterback for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.
