It simply stands to reason: If there’s a best of everything, there’s also a worst. And when it comes to NFL quarterbacks and their abilities to deal with different passing game concepts, there are one-year blunders and repeat offenders. When I wrote about the worst NFL quarterbacks for every type of throw last season, there were guys who didn’t repeat their efforts from then to now, and a couple who did. Daniel Jones of the Giants, for example.
It should come as no surprise that Carson Wentz was the most prolific member of the Worst Club for the 2020 season. He didn’t show up on last year’s list, and why should he have? Wentz led the league in interceptions (15) and sacks (50) in 2020 behind a series of patchwork offensive lines, and a receiver group who didn’t do him any favors. He’s now in the hands of the Colts, and old buddy Frank Reich, who will try and turn Wentz’s career around.
Based on the numbers below, Reich has a lot of work to do. As for the other worst quarterbacks for every type of throw… well, here they all are. Warning: It ain’t pretty. You may want to investigate the list of the best quarterbacks for every type of throw once you’re done here, just to get a more positive picture of the quarterback position.
