In this 10-3 win, Weinke threw just seven passes for 32 yards, while benefiting from the 52 carries by the Panthers' running game.

 

 

3. Mike McMahon

 

I had to watch this guy take snaps for the Eagles in 2005 when McNabb was hurt. What a painful sight. He didn't know how to lead an offense or read a defense.

 

I still remember that 42-0 loss to the Seahawks on Monday Night Football, when McMahon threw two picks, both returned for touchdowns, and lost two fumbles.

 

 

2. Spergon Wynn

 

He was an absolute disaster behind center. Wynn lost all three games he started in his two-year career and retired with a career passer rating of 39.5. I can't confirm this for sure, but I imagine this is the lowest passer rating for any quarterback in history with a minimum of three starts.

 


1. Ryan Leaf

 

Maybe the worst football player in NFL history.

 

Definitely the worst draft pick ever.

 

His third career start was definitely a sign of things to come, as he completed one of 15 passes with two interceptions and three lost fumbles. It was all downhill from there.

 

Leaf retired with a career 4-17 record as a starter, and a passer rating of just 50.0.
