Who Is the Worst Quarterback in the NFL?
Contents
We all know there are a lot of bad quarterbacks in the NFL. But who is the absolute worst? We’ve ranked the contenders and put them up for debate.
Tom Brady
Tom Brady is the worst quarterback in the NFL. He has thrown more interceptions than any other quarterback this season and his team has lost more games than any other team in the league.
His age
Tom Brady will be 42 years old when the 2019 NFL season starts. This makes him the oldest starting quarterback in the league. He is also the only starter who will be over 40 years old. This is significant because age has a major impact on a quarterback’s performance.
The older a quarterback is, the more likely he is to experience a decline in his abilities. This is due to a number of factors, including declining physical abilities and changes in mental sharpness. Additionally, older quarterbacks are more likely to get injured, and their injuries are often more severe. As a result, it is not surprising that Tom Brady’s performance has declined in recent years.
Despite his age, Tom Brady is still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He has demonstrated this by leading his team to three Super Bowl victories in the last five years. However, his age is likely to catch up with him eventually, and he may not be able to sustain his high level of play for much longer.
His team
The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston area. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston.
The Patriots are also commonly known as the “Pats”, “Slurs”, or even “the Fruits”.
Eli Manning
If you ask any New York Giants fan who the worst quarterback in the NFL is, they will say Eli Manning. Manning has been with the Giants for 16 seasons and has only led them to the playoffs once in that time. He has a career record of 117-103 and has thrown for over 50,000 yards. However, he has also thrown over 250 interceptions.
His age
Eli Manning will turn 38 years old in January, which is pretty old for an NFL quarterback. In fact, only four quarterbacks who are currently starting are older than Manning: Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers and Ben Roasts. So, when you compare Manning to his peers, he’s definitely on the older side.
One could argue that Manning is past his prime and that he’s no longer an elite quarterback. In fact, some people might say that he’s the worst quarterback in the NFL. While it’s hard to say definitively whether or not Manning is the worst QB in the league, there’s no denying that he’s not as good as he used to be.
His team
Eli Manning is a professional American football quarterback for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Ole Miss, and was drafted as the first overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. He is the son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and older brother of current NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
Jay Cutler
Jay Cutler is often considered one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. He’s been called out for being lazy, unfocused, and unprofessional. Cutler has also been accused of throwing too many interceptions and not being able to lead his team to victory. Let’s take a closer look at why Jay Cutler is considered the worst quarterback in the NFL.
His age
At 34 years old, Jay Cutler is one of the oldest starting quarterbacks in the NFL. He’s been in the league for 11 seasons, and while he’s had some good moments, he’s mostly been a disappointment.
His team
Since joining the NFL in 2006, Jay Cutler has played for four different teams. He started his career with the Denver Broncos, where he played for three seasons before being traded to the Chicago Bears in 2009. He spent eight seasons with the Bears, and was then traded to the New York Jets in 2017. He was released by the Jets after one season and subsequently retired from football.
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Ryan Fitzpatrick is the worst quarterback in the NFL. He has been terrible since he came into the league, and he has only gotten worse with age. He is inaccurate, he doesn’t have a strong arm, and he doesn’t make good decisions. He is a liability on the field, and he is not worth the money that he is being paid.
His age
Fitzpatrick is 37 years old, which makes him one of the oldest quarterbacks in the NFL. He’s also one of the least accomplished quarterbacks in the league, with a career record of 59-79-1.
His team
Fitzpatrick, who was drafted in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Rams out of Harvard, has played on eight different teams during his 15-year career. He is currently a free agent.
Fitzpatrick has never made a Pro Bowl, but he did set the record for most passing yards in a single game by a journeyman quarterback with 402 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9 of the 2018 season.
Blake Bortles
Blake Bortles was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the third overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. He has been with the team for five seasons and has started all but two of the team’s games. Bortles has compiled a record of 24-49 as a starter and has never had a season where he threw for more touchdowns than interceptions. He has the worst career quarterback rating in NFL history and is widely considered to be the worst quarterback in the league.
His age
Blake Bortles will turn 27 years old in April, which means he’s younger than Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, and Dak Prescott — all of whom were drafted after him in 2016. He’s also younger than Jimmy Garoppolo, who was drafted in 2014.
His team
Blake Bortles is the quarterback for the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars. He was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Jaguars, and has been with the team ever since. Bortles has been one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL throughout his career, and is widely considered to be one of the worst quarterbacks in the league currently.
