Worst Quarterbacks of the Past 20 Years Tournament Final Four: Leaf, Gelbaugh, Smith, Tupa

Round 4... Final Four

In light of the Best Quarterback Ever Tournament and insightful suggestions on behalf of the fellow writers here at Armchairgm, I present the Worst Quarterbacks of the Past 20 Years Tournament.

In order to qualify a quarterback must have started the majority of at least one NFL season and never posted a rating above 70 during their years as a starter. I am only including the past twenty years due to the fact that passing statistics have drastically changed over time due to a multitude of factors such as pass interference and introduction of certain offensive schemes.

Voting is the same as Best Quarterback Ever Tournament with the exception you are voting for the WORST quarterback. (Ex. Gelbaugh is statistically worse than McNown so one would vote Gelbaugh if voting purely on statistics)

For any of you who have ever been a fan of team quarterbacked by any of these individuals, I extend my deepest condolences...

Here's the lineup... Seeds are based on Quarterback Rating... Top Vote Getter on Losing Side Advances due to Seed Number...

X-Factor: Ryan Leaf 3666 14 TD 36 INT Chargers

1. Stan Gelbaugh 2100 10 TD 22 INT 50.5 Seahawks

2. Akili Smith 2212 5 TD 13 INT 52.8 Bengals

3. Rusty Hilger 2584 11 TD 19 INT 52.8 Lions

4. Browning Nagle 2489 8 TD 20 INT 53.5 Jets

5. Heath Shuler 3691 15 TD 33 INT 54.3 Redskins

6. Andrew Walter 1715 3 TD 13 INT 56.3 Raiders

7. Tom Tupa ( Yes the punter) 3430 12 TD 25 INT 60.5 Cardinals

8. Chris Weinke 3904 15 TD 26 INT 62.2 Panthers

9. Randy Wright 7106 31 TD 57 INT 61.4 Packers

10. Ken Dorsey 1712 8 TD 11 INT 63.5 49ers

11. Tommy Hodson 1823 7 TD 11 INT 64.1 Patriots

12. Chuck Long 3747 19 TD 28 INT 64.5 Lions

Leaf and Smith. I still stand by my opinion that Tupa should not be in the running.

He's played more quarterback than any of the top four seeds even if he is a punter now

Leaf and Gelbaugh. BTW Tom Tupa was not a NFL caliber QB, but was a very good combo QB/punter at Ohio State. Gelbaugh was apparently so bad I don't even remember his stint with the 'Hawks.

Gelbaugh was MVP of the World League. Stan "The Man" Gelbaugh rules! And, don't forget that he had the best game of his NFL career in a Monday night shootout with "Touchdown" Tommy Maddox!

Take his good name off the list!
