The NFL’s worst QB performances are actually ghastlier than they have us believe

You or I could go out and try playing quarterback against an NFL defense, throw an interception on every pass, and the NFL would for some reason spare us from our actual passer rating hitting the books, choosing instead to simply call it zero - the same artificial number they attach to a bunch of performances by actual professional quarterbacks that in reality should be in the negatives. And so the extent to which the worst games should sink below zero are ignored by Big Shield in lieu of a life raft to ensure they stay buoyed at zero. Well, not here. We’re taking away that life raft in this endeavor to explore the wondrous beauty of what remains when we plunge into the Mariana Trench of the quarterback futility ocean.

A game so bad it basically by itself slapped an asterisk onto the claim that Manning won two Super Bowls.

@@fanboy50 Yeah, it was startling how bad he was in that game. But in the playoffs, he was oddly impressive.

But I think we can all agree, Denver's defense that season was the true star.

Just for him to break his leg and back up the former 1st round pick of the same draft Jim plunkett takes and wins them the Super Bowl. Poor Pastorini 😂😂😂

[@deepowls]

Steve Tensi I looked at Steve Tensi's Wikipedia page for his two 0.0 official passer ratings within the same season. There was no mention of them. What I did find was that after two years and 52 pass attempts in the AFL after being a 4th round pick (16th round NFL), this remarkable trade happened: "On August 15, 1967, shortly before the 1967 season, new coach and general manager Lou Saban traded Denver's #1 draft picks in the 1968 and 1969 common AFL-NFL draft for Tensi. These proved to be valuable picks for San Diego, becoming the #4 and #9 overall selections respectively." 1967 was his season of two 0.0 official passer rating games. His first had an uncapped rating of -3.125, which is a candidate for the highest uncapped rating for an official 0.0 game. That line was 6/20 for 55 yards with 2 INT. Tensi's second game had a -21.023 uncapped rating, which is more like it (3 INT in 22 attempts being the main difference).

[@turtlyburtly]

Oof, I was at that Broncos-Chiefs game in 2015. After Manning went 5-20 for 35 yards and 4 INTs, Brock Osweiler came in and went 14-24 for 146 with one TD and another pick. Also, they combined for 5 sacks. Miserable, miserable game.

Our friend Dan Pastorini actually made the Pro Bowl one year with more picks than TDs.

A few fun facts about Bradshaw's five stinkers: [1] The Steelers actually won two of those games, and would have won three had the '71 Bears not managed to score two TDs in the final 4 minutes to squeak by 17-15. [2] In the one game where the opposing QB performed worse than Bradshaw, the Steelers still lost (just 11 attempts kept the Vikings' Bob Lee off the chart). [3] His worst game (-29.2 against Green Bay in 1970) was inflated by an 87 yard TD pass. If that had fallen incomplete his unbounded rating would have been -68.1 [4] Only one of those games - a 7-6 win against the Bengals - was during one of their Super Bowl years (1978).
