Hehn!?
I'm gonna bang out the rest, cause it's always bothered me a little:
Joey Harrington- A guy Mouse once called "One of the best backups in the league". Also known as "not quite as bad as Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, or an overcooked steak"
Guy never had a nickname, played poorly his entire career, got waaaay too many chances, and made you yearn for guys like Tyler Pigpen, Miss Cleo, and Sage "Helicopter" Rosenfels.
Vince Young
Did he try to kill himself? Who knows. He certainly killed his career, and quite possibly that of Jeff Fisher's. Why is Cam Newton better than Vincente Young? He isn't.
Jake Plummer
Ok, someone interesting. TMQ will rant for hours about how Shanahan went away from Plummer for all the wrong reasons (They were 6-4!) and that Cuckler was no better and probably cost them a playoff chance (finished 8-8), but when your best ability is the ability to "throw on the run" maybe your team needs to do you a favor and draft Alex Barron von Fego so by definition all your throws can be "on the run"
Randall Cunningham
Better Eagle than Viking. Nobody likes to believe it because we all lack historical perspective (avg fegonomics reading age: 23.5), but it's undeniably true. Also: "that's what you do when you have a quarterblack... err quarterback"
Daunte Culpepper
Owner of my favorite fantasy football season of all time. Highly overrated runner, but was the team's power back by default because Moe "syzlak" williams, Onterrio "wizzinator" Smith, and Michael "wait, i'm gonna get hit this isn't track?" Bennett all were somewhere between awful and shartful.
Edit: The Last Naked Warrior has chronicled the path of the Daunte quite well. That said, I'm not removing this segment.
Trent Dilfer
It's trendy to say he's the worst QB to win a superbowl. I say it's Doug Williams. But I'm a racist so....

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DilfTr00.htm
neither player ever got to 60% completion percentage.
The Dilf is also really mean to incoming QBs and reminds me of Jim Rome.
Warren Moon
Guy played until he was 44. Let's play a game:
Below are two qbs who played in minnesota late in their career. One is Warren moon, the other Favre. The last two numbers are Tds and INTs.
| * | 40 | MIN | QB | 4 | 16 | 16 | 12-4-0 | 363 | 531 | 68.4 | 4202 | 33 | 7 | ||||||||||||||
| 41 | MIN | QB | 4 | 13 | 13 | 5-8-0 | 217 | 358 | 60.6 | 2509 | 11 | 19 |
| 39 | MIN | QB | 1 | 16 | 16 | 8-8-0 | 377 | 606 | 62.2 | 4228 | 33 | 14 | |||||||||||||||
| 40 | MIN | QB | 1 | 8 | 8 | 4-4-0 | 134 | 247 | 54.3 | 1610 | 7 | 9 |
They are the same!
If you can't figure it out, warren moon is the 2nd one.
Now look what happens to moon after this year:
| 1997* | 41 | SEA | QB | 1 | 15 | 14 | 7-7-0 | 313 | 528 | 59.3 | 3678 | 25 | 16 | ||||||||||||||
| 1998 | 42 | SEA | QB | 1 | 10 | 10 | 4-6-0 | 145 | 258 | 56.2 | 1632 | 11 | 8 | ||||||||||||||
| 1999 | 43 | KAN | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 33.3 | 20 | 0 | 0 | ||||||||||||||||
| 2000 | 44 | KAN | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0-1-0 | 15 | 34 | 44.1 | 208 | 1 | 1 |
If there is a case for Favre staying retired... it's warren moon.
Drew Bledsoe
Statuesque, Sedentary, Presidential. These words inspired Drew Bledsoe, and Drew Bledsoe brought new meaning to those words.
Aaron Rodgers

"With great belt comes great responsibility"
-Aaron Rodgers
Phillip Rivers
Felipe Rios tiene mas capacidad para mejorar que cualquier quarterback este ano por una razon y solo una razon: Vincente Jackson.
Rich Gannon
Product of his receivers and defense. Interesting that he puts it all together so late. A much worse version of Kurt Warner.
Doug Flutie
Flutie Flakes. Yes. Flutie Drop Kicks. Yes. Flutie CFL. Yes. Flutie a caricature of a qb. Yes.
He personifies 'gitchy' at the qb position. Not gonna bring up the hail mary...oops.
Brady Quinn
Guy should have had every chance in the world to be the next Joey Harrington until the browns brought in a smart person: I am the walrus: Coo Coo ca choo
Kurt Warner
Behind only Manning, Favre and Brady in the 32 for 32 original list in terms of career value. Should be a HOFer. The "lost year" on the Giants included such studs as Ike Hilliard and Amani Toomer. Yes, Giants greats (Toomer at least), but they totaled 1100 yards between them that season. And Warner still threw for 220+ yards per game.
Peyton Manning
Is the best of all time at reading a defense and finding his best option. Has two seasons where he clearly played injured, yet you wouldn't be able to pick them out if you look at his season stats non-sequentially:

Nuff said.
Jason Campbell
Somehow almost lost the job to the wild polac Gradkowski. Managed to return and I think his future is far brighter in OAK than washington. Why did they trade him again? Oh, right, they were targeting Terrelle Pryor with that 2012 4th rounder. OOPS!
Chad Pennington
Fettuccine AL-FRE-DO I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO.
Brad Johnson/Shaun King
I'm going with B-Rad over King me here. Brad Johnson is the only man who makes Gus Frerotte look like a viable option. Another Gruden "I pretend to develop QBs now, but I never really could so I went with B-Rad and Gannondorf"
Donovan Mcnabb
Why did he puke in the superbowl? Why did he get benched for Sexy Rexy last season in the 2 minute drill. Is there some building evidence that McNabb is only a 3 quarter player?
McNabb to westbrook WAS the 2 minute drill in Philly. Anyone could have run that 2 minute offense because westy is always open.
Jake Delhomme
The guy threw 89 INTs in his career as a Panther, and I think 60 were on steve smith targets, 12 on Moose Muhammad when Smith broke his leg and Muhammad had the best fantasy year for a WR (2004), and then the other 17 on obliteration sacks when he held the ball looking for steve smith to get open downfield. I got Tunnel Vision.....
Brian Griese
Bleck, we're ending with Brian Griese. Why didn't I pick Horseface Elway for the Broncos? Dunno. I guess I wanted to talk about filling the stable when the purebred leaves. Here's the thing though: They had another thoroughbred!
Then Sharpe left.
Ok, that's it.
Sleazer,
OUT
