Worst Quarterbacks of the Past 20 Years Tournament ROUND 2

Round 2...

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

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 (ELIMINATED)

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 (ELIMINAED)

11. Tommy Hodson 1823 7 TD 11 INT 64.1 Patriots (ELIMINATED)

12. Chuck Long 3747 19 TD 28 INT 64.5 Lions (ELIMINATED)

13. David Klingler 3994 16 TD 22 INT 65.1 Bengals (ELIMINATED)

14. Cade McNown 3111 16 TD 19 INT 67.7 Bears (ELIMINATED)

Round One:

  • Stan Gelbaugh, SEA vs. Cade McNown, CHI
  • Akili Smith, CIN vs. David Klingler, CIN
  • Rusty Hilger, DET vs. Chuck Long, DET
  • Browning Nagle, NYJ vs. Tommy Hodson, NE
  • Heath Shuler, WAS vs. Ken Dorsey, SF
  • Andrew Walter, OAK vs. Randy Wright, GB
  • Tom Tupa, ARZ vs. Chris Weinke, CAR

Round 2: Due to the fact only seven teams would advance, Weinke advances for receiving the most votes on the losing end

  • Stan Gelbaugh, SEA vs. Randy Wright, GB
  • Akili Smith, CIN vs. Chris Weinke, CAR
  • Rusty Hilger, DET vs. Tom Tupa, ARZ
  • Browning Nagle, NYJ vs. Heath Shuler, WAS

Elvis Grbac and Trest Dilfer. The fact that the Chiefs kept giving Grbac chances over Rich Gannon turned out to be one the stupidest things ever done in NFL history. And there are things his stats don't show. Like one playoff game where time ran out on the Chiefs because the didn't have any timeouts left, because Grbac burned one to catch his breath after scrambling on two consecutive plays.


Speaking of Dilfer, I'd also really like to see a list of the worst Superbowl QBs of all time. He topped a QB rating of 80 just twice in his career, and had a rating of 76.6 the year he led Baltimore to a Superbowl win.

How on earth did Ryan Leaf not make the cut. Granted, he had more passing yards than nine people on this list with 3,666. But he had just 14 TDs against 36 INTs and a QB rating that would top this list at 50.0. One Yahoo sports writer declared him the worst number two pick of all time.

For the record, he DOES meet the qualifications. He started 9 games in 1998 and 2000, and the highest rating he's ever posted was 57.7, in just three starts for the Cowboys.

I only took guys who started the majority of a season for a team, not three starts, he was almost too bad to be considered a starting quarterback. He'd be on a list below these guys with the likes of Spergon Wynn.

Yeah. Like I said, he started 9 games in two different seasons. That qualifies as the majority.

Haha...I just had to vote for him because he was in the league for 17 years, and hardly anyone knew that he had been a QB. It's very impressive to be that forgettable.

I still remember a game about 10 years ago where Tupa had to come in play QB. As an emergency. Heck, I think it for Testeverde. From what I remember, had a fairly good second half. Threw a couple of TDs. For the Jets, I think.

I'm fine with it, he was gonna win without being in the game anyway, so might as well make it offical.

The worst starting QB that will be a starter next year is Vince Young. He can't make your list because he did post a passer rating of 71 this year, but his 12 TD's (3 rushing), 17 interceptions and 8 fumbles makes him maybe the most overhyped player the NFL has ever seen. He made a Pro Bowl with a passer rating of 66.
