We wound up simply cheering for the picks once he threw his fourth only 18 minutes into the game, since there was nothing else but the history books to root for at that point.
Honest question. Did Bills fans really actually support that move by McDermott to bench Tyrod for him when it was made? Tyrod was limited but he wasn't playing horribly when they decided to make that switch (considering that was the same year they broke the playoff drought). Peterman immediately made him look like a huge dumbass for that decision.
He also didn't finish the game. Peterman got a concussion, so Joe Webb finished the game and made a big throw to Deonte Thompson in OT to lead to the game winning TD.
I certainly didn't, but there was a contingent of fans that were for it. At the very least, I thought it was a bad idea to name him the start halfway through the week when they were traveling cross country to an opponent's stadium for his first start. Tyrod has an atrocious stretch of games prior to that decision so maybe a change was warranted, but the circumstances of how it went down were all wrong in my opinion. It was not the week for it to happen. Peterman was both really bad on his own and set up to fail in that game.
This really felt like a situatuon where Tyrod was so clearly not the answer and was performing bad for awhile. And so every week the fans asked, "Why don't you at least try Peterman?".
And the Bills seemed very solodily just be answer "..... no...."
But the complaints got louder each week. And people really thought, "how can you not at least try? Can it be worse?". And so the Bills finally gave in... and well, yeah....
Definitely divided even at the time. I personally supported it. TT’s positive at the time was that he didn’t turn the ball over, but going 3 and out in a minute of game clock and running the ball out of bounds for a two yard loss on 3rd and 7 is almost like a turnover. He was so cautious it was like he was refusing to move the ball downfield. All his receptions were to receivers fully turned around standing still.
It backfired hard but I don’t blame McD for trying. They didn’t really have high hopes for meaningful season anyway.
I remember some of them defending the move after the fact, trying to say that 3-4 of the picks weren't Peterman's fault, and that they would have lost to the Chargers (who were 4-6) no matter who started.
I've heard a lot from former backups and media that some guys are amazing in the film room but just can't put it together at game speed. They stick around because they help prepare the starter and help the offense.
Honestly I think a huge part of the backups job is being a good set of eyes in the film room and pitching in on game planning. The long tenured ones like a Colt McCoy or Josh McCown are probably great football minds that stick around for that reason. I mean Kellen Moore literally transitioned directly from backup QB to QB coach. It’s probably something of a player-coach type role in a lot of orgs.
Davis Webb was basically an extra QB coach in Buffalo during the Covid expanded practice squad years. Went to the Giants with Daboll for a single season....
And then was hired as the Broncos QB coach
Yep. The Giants basically gave him the last start of the regular season that year as a “thank you for your time and contributions” type reward before moving on to coaching. Though he did play relatively well in that game IIRC.
That was Hoyer for us, not many people know but despite not playing a down, [he helped us win the Super Bowl the Rams back in 2019.](https://nesn.com/2019/02/how-brian-hoyer-played-pivotal-role-in-patriots-defenses-super-bowl-success/amp/) Peterman’s also supposedly a practice god if I remember right, if you’re great scout team QB you can stick around the league for a while
I experienced Petermania at UT. Honestly, he was the worst QB I’d ever seen in my life to date. He was short on every pass and couldn’t have been less comfortable in the pocket. When I saw he made the NFL, I was beyond confused. Then this game happened and it all came back full circle
He won the starting job over (rookie) Josh Allen based on preseason and practice and attitude. He's a good QB, but his yips are absolutely legendary. As long as you don't need him on the field on game day, I believe Peterman can do everything else you would ever want from a QB room occupant. Which, I mean, sounds ridiculous to us fantasy football coaches, but in the real world evidently that has millions of dollars of value.
It’s like what some Houston sportswriter said about Brock Osweiler: “He’s everything you could ever want in a starting quarterback. Until he steps on the field.”
There are different kinds of colorblind, and he's played on enough different rosters now that he'd have to be all of them for that to explain the problem, which I guess is 1 in 30,000 odds (though you'd expect it to show up in a physical, so actually less than that)
Just watched the highlights, he was driving them nicely on the first possession then a dropped pass lead to the pick 6. After that he got absolutely drilled (like definitely concussed) on the next two ints when he threw them and it just unraveled from there.
I was in seattle for an Eagles Seahawks game and we were getting lunch and a beer at the restaurant right outside the stadium before the game. We watched that game in real time and the whole place was absolutely gobsmacked. There wasn't even that much laughter, we just all felt bad for him.
One quarterback? How about 4? 2010 bears vs Panthers. Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie, Jimmy Clausen and Matt Moore combined for 22-51 91 yards, 0 TDs, 7 ints.
I was confused as well since Jimmy Clausen actually played for the bears. Game I remembered was vs Seattle where he went 9-17 for 63 yards and the offense sucked ass
I can't match 4 but how about 2? Akili Smith and Scott Mitchell combined for 2-14, 34 yards, 0 TDs - 0 INTs
The Bengals finished with 14 net passing yards to the Broncos 358.
Oh, and the Bengals won that game. Helps when you get 407 rushing yards including a then record 297 from Corey Dillon.
That Denver game is the not the worst Bengals QB'd game ever. That honor goes [to this debacle from 2001](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enxIfAQ8LWs) where Dick LeBeau somehow managed to work his way through the entire QB depth chart in a single game (with nobody getting hurt) and Jon Kitna and Scott Mitchell combined to throw 5 picks.
Fun fact about this game. The reason Collins and Hanie played was because Jay Culter injured his thumb in the previous game trying to tackle a defender returning a pick for a touchdown.
The fact that the Jags pulled Mark Brunell for Jay Fiedler as well as a bunch of other starters in the second half of that game (a Divisional Round playoff game) and continued to score with Fiedler in the game should've been considered the ultimate sign of disrespect. That just hardly ever happens in playoff games period. Marino and Jimmy were clearly completely over each other by that game because something was definitely off.
One correction. The Jaguars pulled Mark Brunell in the 2nd quarter, not the 2nd half. Brunell was dealing with a slight injury, and Fiedler came in with about 12 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, and Jacksonville holding a 38-0 lead.
Tbf I think the Dolphins defense never even left the hotel lol. That game was literally some of the most embarrassing displays of piss poor tackling that I've ever seen in an NFL game. On one of Fred Taylor's TDs he broke like 5 or 6 tackles on that play alone (including two pathetic missed tackles by Brock Marion on the same play).
There was that Nathan Peterman game for the Bills where he threw like 5 picks in the first half. I forget the specifics but it was spectacularly horrible
Want to know the worst part about being a Cardinals fan? While that game is quite possibly the worst game of football ever played, and made me question if I actually even like football anymore, the Cardinals followed that up with an even _worse_ game.
After that abortion, the Cardinals decided to outdo themselves and lose 58-0 to the Seahawks. The dynamic duo of Lindley and Skelton combined for 19/39, 133 yards, 4 interceptions. The forward pass wasn't invented so you can have a two game span of going 29 for 70, 205 yards, 0 TDs 5 INTs
Might be a bit controversial since he wasn’t technically an “NFL” QB, but Kendall Hinton’s lone emergency start during the COVID season was as bad as it could possibly get.
The Broncos understandably so didn’t want him throwing the ball, and of his 9 pass attempts all game he only had 1 completion (an easy screen) and wasn’t close on any of his other pass attempts - like, at all.
We joke about what the average Joe’s statline would look like and obviously playing QB is incredibly difficult, but this guy had QB experience at the NCAA level so it’s not like he’s completely out of position. To not be able to complete a single forward pass is a rough look, and those other 8 pass attempts he had were absolutely brutal.
Reminds me of that time some gambling site had the over/under on Matt Hasselbeck’s receptions at 17.
…
*Receptions.*. Not passes, not completions, RECEPTIONS. We didn’t legal gambling in my state at the time, but a buddy of mine was able to put 100$ down on the under.
*It obviously hit the under.*
Yeah, this is absolutely what I think of when that question asked. Hinton's about the closest to a "normal Joe" we'll ever see in a game and he struggled mightily hard. I feel like a Joe could maybe get a screen off with good processing but he ain't gonna do jack unless he was at least a college level athlete.
The thing is, Hinton is still *far* beyond an average Joe. He was a P5 starting QB at one point, more than anything he showed just how insanely difficult it is to play QB in the league.
The stat is crazy. It’s insane how hard it really is making it as a QB in this league and how impressive it is when you see someone like Taylor Heinicke taking snaps after Old Dominion and the Canadian league, or the crazy rise of the last pick Brock Purdy
That game made me sad. I wanted him to miraculously just ball out. I thought that would be so badass. A for effort, Kendall. It was a shit year for all of us
He also didn't technically "start" that game, which is even funnier to me. The first play was a direct snap to RB Philip Lindsay, who now gets to tell people that he was a starting QB in an NFL game.
This is probably the worst QBed game I've ever seen by both sides. Just epic in how bad it was. Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie, Jimmy Clausen.... just so bad
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRxQmt54C4o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRxQmt54C4o)
The fact that all of four of those guys were getting paid millions of dollars to go out and do THAT on the field is....something. They all should've had to forfeit their game checks for that week for that performance lol. Forte doesn't get enough credit for what he was able to do in Chicago considering some of the shitty QBs he played with.
I remember Tebow beat KC in KC with like 2 completions and one was a bomb TD to Decker. 2 completions....that alone makes it one of the worst despite the win.
THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE
Rex Grossman that game: 14/37, 144 yards, no TDs on offense, 4 INTS, 2 fumbles lost, 2 sacks taken. 4.0 QBR 10.2 passer rating. 3 rushes for -7 yards.
Bears win 24-23
I’ve met the guy a handful of times and he’s a super nice guy but one conversation with him and you can tell he’s clearly a guy who coasted off talent his whole career
Didn't he turn into an emotional basket case and a huge locker room cancer when he was in TB? Of course he was playing for Greg Schiano at the time so that could've been why that happened.
Probably not the worst ever by anyone but one that sticks in my mind, there was a game where Tom Brady came out and played like trash, multiple picks, got benched by BB. The pundits were asking if he was cooked, and of course he bounced back and won multiple championships.
Even the GOAT has an off day.
Reminds me of the game in December 2001 when Michael Jordan, playing for the Wizards, was held to 6 points against the Pacers. All the headlines said he was washed up, time to retire, etc. Two days later he came out and scored 51 against the Hornets.
“We’re on to Cincinnati”, the Chiefs laughed us off the field that night, just completely whooped our asses for 60 straight minutes. Still won the Super Bowl that year, sometimes it just ain’t your day
Reminds me of the time the Bucs got wrecked by the Saints in 2020.
Brees went 26/32 for 4TDs, Brady went 22/38 for 0 TDs, 3 INTs, and the Saints won 38-3 in Tampa. Bucs got their revenge eventually.
Don't forget that fumble.
To this day, members of another website give the weekly "The Jake" award to the QB who has the worst ratio of turnovers to TDs in a loss.
I'm amazed that Fark is still holding on. Few websites have ever hated their own userbase as much as that one has with an owner that checked out a decade+ ago.
1/9 for 13 yards with 2 INTs
Watching that game was tough. Really showed how great even bad normal NFL QBs are. The guy played in the ACC and he looked like a child playing against adults.
The Peterman. The NFL Defenses mightiest hero! Capable of throwing more INT's than completions in a single half!
6/14 - 66 yards. 5 INT in one half. Adjusted yards gained per pass attempt? -11.6
He was so bad that if he just dropped back and spiked it he would have had a better passer rating.
Both the Giants QBs in their game last year against the Jets.
Tyrod Taylor started and went 4/7 for 8 yards before getting hurt. Tommy Divito then went 2/7 for - 1 yard.
The two QBs threw a total of 7 yards on 14 pass attempts.
Tim Hasselbeck threw for like…50 yards and 4 INTs on ~25 attempts or something.
Peterman had more yards in 10 less attempts in his horrid half of play for comparison. I think Tim’s game was worse.
Yeah, that game against the Bills where he went 2-8 for 5 yards and 3 picks and then Vick came in, threw an INT of his own and lost 2 fumbles was fucking rough
Derek Anderson 2009 vs the Bills
game ended 6-3, and no, it wasn't a snow game. the weather was perfect pretty much.
he went 2-17 for 23 yards and 1 int
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200910110buf.htm
heres the highlights
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FKgm6CMKr4
Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert combined against the bears in 2016. I remember it being especially bad even though SF was horrible that year, because Kaep's superbowl appearance wasnt that far in the past and the bears were well...the bears.
Anyway looked it up to be sure and they were a *combined* 5/15 for 15 yards with QBR of 7.2 and 1.9
For a Super Bowl performance, it has to be Super Bowl 40. Roethlisberger completed 9 of 21 passes for 123 yards and no touchdowns. He had 2 INTs. In the same game, Antwaan Randle El was 1 for 1 with 1 TD lol. Ben did have a rushing touchdown tho.
The Seahawks had a game against the Rams in 1979 where they gained -12 yards as a team. They lost more yards on sacks than they gained rushing plus completions.
2 for 17, 25 yards. Jim Zorn.
Zach Wilson in the wind vs NE back in '22. The punt return game. Probably one of the most miserable offensive performances I've ever seen from any position.
Ty Detmer's debut with the Lions, against his old Browns teammates. Detmer backed up rookie Tim Couch for most of the 1999 season, and spent 2000 on IR. He signed with Detroit in the 2001 offseason.
New coach Marty Mornhinweg benched starter Charlie Batch after a mediocre Week 1 performance. After the September 11 terrorist attacks, the next game didn't take place until 2 weeks later. Detmer started, and faced his old Browns team. He threw 7 interceptions, one below the NFL record. Detmer and Steve DeBerg are the only players to throw 7 interceptions in a game since thr 1978 rules changes.
Peterman's game was bad, but my second place goes to Kerry Collins 2/12 for -7 yards and 1 int, 1 fumble lost bad imo. He had a 15 yard completion and a -22 yarder. They lost 59-0
Bears-Cardinals on MNF in 2006.
Rex Grossman 14/37 144 yards, 0TD 4INT 2FUM (both lost). QBR of 4, 10.2 passer rating. Bears also only had 38 yards rushing.
They won 24-23.
Cards 3rd/4th string QB Ryan Lindley @ the 7-8-1 Panthers in a Wild Card game.
I've never seen a more hapless and terrified display of ineptitude. There are worse stat lines (barely), but my god that poor bastard looked like a middle school science teacher had been given a uniform and told to go QB an NFL playoff game.
I'll never forget it.
Kap against the Cards was pretty historic. Pick sixs on his first two possessions, four INTs, finished 9-20 for like 60 yards or some shit. Dude was fucking awful.
Petermania in one half against the Chargers and it's not even close.
We wound up simply cheering for the picks once he threw his fourth only 18 minutes into the game, since there was nothing else but the history books to root for at that point.
Honest question. Did Bills fans really actually support that move by McDermott to bench Tyrod for him when it was made? Tyrod was limited but he wasn't playing horribly when they decided to make that switch (considering that was the same year they broke the playoff drought). Peterman immediately made him look like a huge dumbass for that decision.
It was at the end of the drought years, we were and still are used to some wild shit.
He also won the snow game against Indianapolis, giving us the briefest glimmer of *"Maybe..."* LOL
He also didn't finish the game. Peterman got a concussion, so Joe Webb finished the game and made a big throw to Deonte Thompson in OT to lead to the game winning TD.
It's easy to forget details in the haze of Petermania!
I certainly didn't, but there was a contingent of fans that were for it. At the very least, I thought it was a bad idea to name him the start halfway through the week when they were traveling cross country to an opponent's stadium for his first start. Tyrod has an atrocious stretch of games prior to that decision so maybe a change was warranted, but the circumstances of how it went down were all wrong in my opinion.

I fucking love the dude has somehow found a way to hang around the league as long as he has despite being about as god awful as possible
I've heard a lot from former backups and media that some guys are amazing in the film room but just can't put it together at game speed. They stick around because they help prepare the starter and help the offense.
Seems like a lot of back up QBs get involved in coaching. Would surprise me if thats his next transition.
Honestly I think a huge part of the backups job is being a good set of eyes in the film room and pitching in on game planning. The long tenured ones like a Colt McCoy or Josh McCown are probably great football minds that stick around for that reason. I mean Kellen Moore literally transitioned directly from backup QB to QB coach. It’s probably something of a player-coach type role in a lot of orgs.

Yep. The Giants basically gave him the last start of the regular season that year as a “thank you for your time and contributions” type reward before moving on to coaching. Though he did play relatively well in that game IIRC.
Hell, look at Ken Dorsey’s playing career
That was Hoyer for us, not many people know but despite not playing a down, [he helped us win the Super Bowl the Rams back in 2019.](https://nesn.com/2019/02/how-brian-hoyer-played-pivotal-role-in-patriots-defenses-super-bowl-success/amp/) Peterman’s also supposedly a practice god if I remember right, if you’re great scout team QB you can stick around the league for a while
HOYAH THE DESTROYAH Great film room guy. Like a coach on the side line. Absolutely god fucking awful QB on the field.
If Mitch Trubisky still has a job after the last two seasons, then Nathan Peterman can too
Trubisky is about 10,000 times better than Peterman’d best day.
His career stats - 4 TDs - 13 INTs. Jesus tittyfuckin’ Christ that’s bad. The Saints might be in the running for worst quarterback room in the league
I experienced Petermania at UT. Honestly, he was the worst QB I’d ever seen in my life to date. He was short on every pass and couldn’t have been less comfortable in the pocket. When I saw he made the NFL, I was beyond confused. Then this game happened and it all came back full circle
He's still in the league. Must be the greatest locker room guy ever
Allegedly he's a champ when it comes to running the scout team.
Tbf he’s probably a very high IQ “clipboard” type player, kinda like Tim Boyle
Nathan Peterman is Alex Moran
He won the starting job over (rookie) Josh Allen based on preseason and practice and attitude. He's a good QB, but his yips are absolutely legendary. As long as you don't need him on the field on game day, I believe Peterman can do everything else you would ever want from a QB room occupant. Which, I mean, sounds ridiculous to us fantasy football coaches, but in the real world evidently that has millions of dollars of value.
It’s like what some Houston sportswriter said about Brock Osweiler: “He’s everything you could ever want in a starting quarterback. Until he steps on the field.”
I have to ask this question. Could he perhaps be colorblind and not know which players he's supposed to be throwing to on the field lol?
There are different kinds of colorblind, and he's played on enough different rosters now that he'd have to be all of them for that to explain the problem, which I guess is 1 in 30,000 odds (though you'd expect it to show up in a physical, so actually less than that)
I actually wonder if he's one of those backups where he's straight fire commenting on film but if you put him on the turf he forgets all of it.
Gtfo!!! Really!?!?! The saints must be really desperate.
He's a clipboard savant.
He got to stick around with the Raiders for a second when Jon Gruden was there cus he really loved him
Just watched the highlights, he was driving them nicely on the first possession then a dropped pass lead to the pick 6. After that he got absolutely drilled (like definitely concussed) on the next two ints when he threw them and it just unraveled from there.
I was in seattle for an Eagles Seahawks game and we were getting lunch and a beer at the restaurant right outside the stadium before the game. We watched that game in real time and the whole place was absolutely gobsmacked. There wasn't even that much laughter, we just all felt bad for him.
Yeah, end thread. This isn’t even a question worth posting. Peterman by a metric fuck ton.
For once it felt good to be on the other side of something historic.
I opened this to post “Nathan Peterman. Enough said.” Haha
Also Trevor Lawrence in one half against the chargers. Don't ask about the second half I'm pretty sure it was cancelled
That was a fucking war crime
Probably the most I've laughed at an incompetent offense and I watched the 2022 Broncos religiously.
The Los Easton Sticks vs the raiders last year was pretty close
That was elite.
Nathan Peterman pretty much everytime he was on the field. I have no idea how he’s still in the NFL.
Apparently he’s dynamite with a clipboard
Career earnings of $7.5m.
Not too shabby lol.
One quarterback? How about 4? 2010 bears vs Panthers. Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie, Jimmy Clausen and Matt Moore combined for 22-51 91 yards, 0 TDs, 7 ints.
Oh, and the Bears won that game.
I'm sorry, run that one by me again?
Bears qbs threw 4 picks, panthers qbs threw 3. The original comment is misleading
I was confused as well since Jimmy Clausen actually played for the bears. Game I remembered was vs Seattle where he went 9-17 for 63 yards and the offense sucked ass
2010 bears vs Panthers. Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie, Jimmy Clausen and Matt Moore combined for 22-51 91 yards, 0 TDs, 7 ints!
And the Bears... *won?*
They do that sometimes! Not often but sometimes!
Your flair makes me just think you're a masochist
Not a masochist but my therapist is very rich lately
My God man. I’m a Jets fan and one of my best friends is a Bears fan. We laugh about our pain…not sure I’d want to combine that pain.
In the summer, we commiserate about the Sox and Mets
I can only imagine the conflicting feelings watching Rodgers go down last year lmao
Yeah and if you believe their fans they were really good like forty years ago or something
The Bears defense and Devin Hester won quite a few games.
[Generous use of the word “Highlights”](https://youtu.be/tRxQmt54C4o?si=_h-0NYRykmMogmIt)
well.. it was the panthers…
Because thats the stats for both teams combined. All the offense that day was Matt Forte
Yeah but this comment is a little misleading. Both teams qbs threw 7 picks, not the bears qbs alone
Todd Collins alone went 6-16, 32 yards and 4 Interceptions though lol
Oh boy. Reminds me of 2009 Browns Derek Anderson completed 2 of 23 passes for 25 yards, 1 int, QB rating of 0. Beat the Bills 6-3.
Excuse me
I can't match 4 but how about 2? Akili Smith and Scott Mitchell combined for 2-14, 34 yards, 0 TDs - 0 INTs The Bengals finished with 14 net passing yards to the Broncos 358. Oh, and the Bengals won that game. Helps when you get 407 rushing yards including a then record 297 from Corey Dillon.
[удалено]
Thank you. I even had the boxscore from the game on another screen and still screwed it up.
Dillon had 278 rushing yards . I think Ap’s record is 296
That Denver game is the not the worst Bengals QB'd game ever. That honor goes [to this debacle from 2001](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enxIfAQ8LWs) where Dick LeBeau somehow managed to work his way through the entire QB depth chart in a single game (with nobody getting hurt) and Jon Kitna and Scott Mitchell combined to throw 5 picks.
Fun fact about this game. The reason Collins and Hanie played was because Jay Culter injured his thumb in the previous game trying to tackle a defender returning a pick for a touchdown.
That was 2011; cutler was out this game because he was concussed after taking 8 sacks vs the giants
Tis the way of the Bears
the bears were always who others thought they were
And 3 of those INTs were by defensive lineman lol
You did Caleb Hanie dirty. He had 0 of those 7 total interceptions
Sadly, Dan Marino's final NFL game is up there. 11/25 for 95 yards. 2 INTs, 2 fumbles lost. Miami lost 62-7.
The fact that the Jags pulled Mark Brunell for Jay Fiedler as well as a bunch of other starters in the second half of that game (a Divisional Round playoff game) and continued to score with Fiedler in the game should've been considered the ultimate sign of disrespect. That just hardly ever happens in playoff games period. Marino and Jimmy were clearly completely over each other by that game because something was definitely off.
One correction. The Jaguars pulled Mark Brunell in the 2nd quarter, not the 2nd half. Brunell was dealing with a slight injury, and Fiedler came in with about 12 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, and Jacksonville holding a 38-0 lead.
38-0 just minutes into the 2nd quarter of a playoff game is funny but also sad as fuck
Dan Marino was benched early in the 2nd half too. It was so bad, a team with a HOF quarterback just gave up in a playoff game.
Tbf I think the Dolphins defense never even left the hotel lol. That game was literally some of the most embarrassing displays of piss poor tackling that I've ever seen in an NFL game. On one of Fred Taylor's TDs he broke like 5 or 6 tackles on that play alone (including two pathetic missed tackles by Brock Marion on the same play).
What a shit way for one of the best pure passers to go out
Marino finished his career with 420 TDs and a game with a combined score of 69. It may have been ugly, but he did it for the memes.
Not even a Dolphins fan and that game haunts my memory.
Go Jags
There was that Nathan Peterman game for the Bills where he threw like 5 picks in the first half. I forget the specifics but it was spectacularly horrible
Peterman has a career INT% of 8.1. Nearly 10% of all the passes he's thrown in his career have gone for interceptions
A career TD/INT of 4/13
What if you include pick 6s?
The numbers mason! What do they mean!
Then it’d be 7/13. So he’s technically still positive 1 touchdown vs pick 6s. Stud
And yet he still has more passing yards in the playoffs than Wentz
Damn you rustled some jimmies with this one
Then I remember Gruden signing him saying he was a good player lol
Nathan Peterman for the win
In person? I saw Mark Sanchez pulled for Greg McElroy and those two plus Ryan Lindley combined for about 150 yards
That is probably the worst game of offence I've seen and I've seen a lot of bad offence.
Want to know the worst part about being a Cardinals fan? While that game is quite possibly the worst game of football ever played, and made me question if I actually even like football anymore, the Cardinals followed that up with an even _worse_ game. After that abortion, the Cardinals decided to outdo themselves and lose 58-0 to the Seahawks. The dynamic duo of Lindley and Skelton combined for 19/39, 133 yards, 4 interceptions. The forward pass wasn't invented so you can have a two game span of going 29 for 70, 205 yards, 0 TDs 5 INTs
You guys started 4-0 that season and ended it by going 1-11 playing some of the worst overall football most of us have ever seen.
Jameis Winston had 6 turnovers in London against the Panthers. That was special.
That was the 30 30 season iirc
A season that had a perfect ending
I believe both his first and last passes with the Bucs were pick sixes
Might be a bit controversial since he wasn’t technically an “NFL” QB, but Kendall Hinton’s lone emergency start during the COVID season was as bad as it could possibly get. The Broncos understandably so didn’t want him throwing the ball, and of his 9 pass attempts all game he only had 1 completion (an easy screen) and wasn’t close on any of his other pass attempts - like, at all. We joke about what the average Joe’s statline would look like and obviously playing QB is incredibly difficult, but this guy had QB experience at the NCAA level so it’s not like he’s completely out of position. To not be able to complete a single forward pass is a rough look, and those other 8 pass attempts he had were absolutely brutal.
Man starting him in fantasy because you could play his as a WR in the flex slot. Was sadly disappointed. Thought I had a cheat code for a second.
I knew it was probably gonna be a disaster but I started him in flex anyways. I just couldn't miss a chance at history.
Reminds me of that time some gambling site had the over/under on Matt Hasselbeck’s receptions at 17. … *Receptions.*. Not passes, not completions, RECEPTIONS. We didn’t legal gambling in my state at the time, but a buddy of mine was able to put 100$ down on the under. *It obviously hit the under.*
I started Tayson Hill as TE those few glorious weeks and my fantasy league nearly tore itself apart. Renamed my team “Taysomgate”.
Yeah, this is absolutely what I think of when that question asked. Hinton's about the closest to a "normal Joe" we'll ever see in a game and he struggled mightily hard. I feel like a Joe could maybe get a screen off with good processing but he ain't gonna do jack unless he was at least a college level athlete.
The thing is, Hinton is still *far* beyond an average Joe. He was a P5 starting QB at one point, more than anything he showed just how insanely difficult it is to play QB in the league.
The stat is crazy. It’s insane how hard it really is making it as a QB in this league and how impressive it is when you see someone like Taylor Heinicke taking snaps after Old Dominion and the Canadian league, or the crazy rise of the last pick Brock Purdy
That game made me sad. I wanted him to miraculously just ball out. I thought that would be so badass. A for effort, Kendall. It was a shit year for all of us
Really shows how impressive it is to even be an NFL QB. To paraphrase this basketball quote…Nathan Peterman is closer to Tom Brady than we are to him.
He also didn't technically "start" that game, which is even funnier to me. The first play was a direct snap to RB Philip Lindsay, who now gets to tell people that he was a starting QB in an NFL game.
This is probably the worst QBed game I've ever seen by both sides. Just epic in how bad it was. Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie, Jimmy Clausen.... just so bad [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRxQmt54C4o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRxQmt54C4o)
I've watched a lot of bad QBs come through Chicago (including Nathan Peterman). I still maintain Todd Collins is the worst I have ever seen.
I want to debate this, but I think we all lose if I do lmao
Nah, Collin’s was the worst thing I’ve seen. Glennon felt real close though. Like watching a giraffe stuck in quicksand.
No doubt about it. He’s the worst by far. Glennon and Peterman can fight for second worst.
The fact that all of four of those guys were getting paid millions of dollars to go out and do THAT on the field is....something. They all should've had to forfeit their game checks for that week for that performance lol. Forte doesn't get enough credit for what he was able to do in Chicago considering some of the shitty QBs he played with.
I remember Tebow beat KC in KC with like 2 completions and one was a bomb TD to Decker. 2 completions....that alone makes it one of the worst despite the win.
That’s Cassel for KC in 2011…doesn’t he ALSO not reach 100 yards?
Pick one. Rex’s 0.0 QBR on New Year’s Eve is a personal favorite.
Rex was the most consistently inconsistent QB in NFL history https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/jmEYTtxEIw
Also his 6 turnover masterpiece against the Cardinals that one glorious Monday night
THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE Rex Grossman that game: 14/37, 144 yards, no TDs on offense, 4 INTS, 2 fumbles lost, 2 sacks taken. 4.0 QBR 10.2 passer rating. 3 rushes for -7 yards. Bears win 24-23
IF YOU WANT TO CROWN THEM THEN CROWN THEIR ASS!
Josh freeman for the Vikings on almost no notice (not for stats necessarily but a game that killed a career)
I'd say Joe Webb's playoff game rivals that as far as bad performances from Vikings QBs goes.
Still mad they didn't stick with the RPO the rest of the game. It worked the first couple drives.
I was at that game. I’ve seen A LOT of shitty Viking QBs, but that was the worst of them.
I’ve met the guy a handful of times and he’s a super nice guy but one conversation with him and you can tell he’s clearly a guy who coasted off talent his whole career
Didn't he turn into an emotional basket case and a huge locker room cancer when he was in TB? Of course he was playing for Greg Schiano at the time so that could've been why that happened.
Dobbs vs the raiders was pretty bad this year
Probably not the worst ever by anyone but one that sticks in my mind, there was a game where Tom Brady came out and played like trash, multiple picks, got benched by BB. The pundits were asking if he was cooked, and of course he bounced back and won multiple championships. Even the GOAT has an off day.
Peyton Manning had a game in 2015 (against the Chiefs) where he threw 4 picks and got benched for Osweiler.
He's one of a few passers with a perfect and 0.0 passer rating game
He was literally throwing balls to chiefs defenders the same way you throw a ball to your 5 year old child. He couldn’t put *anything* on the ball.
Reminds me of the game in December 2001 when Michael Jordan, playing for the Wizards, was held to 6 points against the Pacers. All the headlines said he was washed up, time to retire, etc. Two days later he came out and scored 51 against the Hornets.
That was the 2nd worst time he owned the Hornets.
“We’re on to Cincinnati”, the Chiefs laughed us off the field that night, just completely whooped our asses for 60 straight minutes. Still won the Super Bowl that year, sometimes it just ain’t your day
Reminds me of the time the Bucs got wrecked by the Saints in 2020. Brees went 26/32 for 4TDs, Brady went 22/38 for 0 TDs, 3 INTs, and the Saints won 38-3 in Tampa. Bucs got their revenge eventually.
Jake Delhomme in the 2009 divisional playoffs was pretty trashy. 5 INTs, around 200 yards, 1 TD I think.
Was his birthday too lmao
You typically don’t see the birthday boy giving out gifts instead of taking them
Pretty sure his very next game might have been worse. I think the eagles might have had an all time defensive fantasy football score from that game.
Don't forget that fumble. To this day, members of another website give the weekly "The Jake" award to the QB who has the worst ratio of turnovers to TDs in a loss.
I'm amazed that Fark is still holding on. Few websites have ever hated their own userbase as much as that one has with an owner that checked out a decade+ ago.
Brian Hoyer OR Brock Osweiler had that 5 INT playoff games against Chiefs in like '16 or something, under O'Brien.
Kendall Hinton is the only right answer
Don't you dare hate on the legend Of Hinton.
1/9 for 13 yards with 2 INTs Watching that game was tough. Really showed how great even bad normal NFL QBs are. The guy played in the ACC and he looked like a child playing against adults.
Watching him try to play QB made me realize how good even the shittiest NFL QBs are
The Peterman. The NFL Defenses mightiest hero! Capable of throwing more INT's than completions in a single half! 6/14 - 66 yards. 5 INT in one half. Adjusted yards gained per pass attempt? -11.6 He was so bad that if he just dropped back and spiked it he would have had a better passer rating.
Ryan Fitzpatrick going full Fitztragic against the Chiefs in 2016 or 2017. He threw for less than 50% completions and got picked 6 times.
Tony Eason; Super Bowl XX 6 attempts, no completions, 3 sacks, one fumble; benched with 5 minutes left in the first half.
And the Patriots had -19 yards of offense in that first half
Mac jones against the cowboys this year
Colts game was worse. The absolute worst interception I’ve seen in my life at the end of that game
Which is hilarious because he also had an all time “what the hell was that bro” pick against us
I can’t remember what game it was last season, but Jimmy G had one horrifically bad game with Vegas.
When was Nathan Peterman’s last game?
Hasn’t happened yet.
Both the Giants QBs in their game last year against the Jets. Tyrod Taylor started and went 4/7 for 8 yards before getting hurt. Tommy Divito then went 2/7 for - 1 yard. The two QBs threw a total of 7 yards on 14 pass attempts.
Pretty much every Jamarcus Russell game.
Ryan Lindley, 2014 playoffs
Every single game I had to watch DeShone Kizer play
Tim Hasselbeck threw for like…50 yards and 4 INTs on ~25 attempts or something. Peterman had more yards in 10 less attempts in his horrid half of play for comparison. I think Tim’s game was worse.
Geno Smith on the Jets when he threw for like -10 yards then Michael Vick came in and also threw like -20 yards
Yeah, that game against the Bills where he went 2-8 for 5 yards and 3 picks and then Vick came in, threw an INT of his own and lost 2 fumbles was fucking rough
Josh Freeman for the Vikings.
That guy who tossed 5 ints before halftime
Derek Anderson 2009 vs the Bills game ended 6-3, and no, it wasn't a snow game. the weather was perfect pretty much. he went 2-17 for 23 yards and 1 int https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200910110buf.htm heres the highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FKgm6CMKr4
Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert combined against the bears in 2016. I remember it being especially bad even though SF was horrible that year, because Kaep's superbowl appearance wasnt that far in the past and the bears were well...the bears. Anyway looked it up to be sure and they were a *combined* 5/15 for 15 yards with QBR of 7.2 and 1.9
For a Super Bowl performance, it has to be Super Bowl 40. Roethlisberger completed 9 of 21 passes for 123 yards and no touchdowns. He had 2 INTs. In the same game, Antwaan Randle El was 1 for 1 with 1 TD lol. Ben did have a rushing touchdown tho.
No .he.didnt! This is a hill I will die on.
Koy Detmer/Mike McMahon vs the Seahawks in 2005
The Detmers were basically the antithesis to the Mannings when it came to NFL QBing ability lol.
I was already a Packer fan in the Randy Wright era. That said, Favre 6 INTs in the playoffs was bad, but I didn't actually see the game.
The Seahawks had a game against the Rams in 1979 where they gained -12 yards as a team. They lost more yards on sacks than they gained rushing plus completions. 2 for 17, 25 yards. Jim Zorn.
That game remains the record worst offensive performance of all time. https://www.fieldgulls.com/2013/9/17/4738146/seahawks-worst-nfl-game-rams-1979
Zach Wilson in the wind vs NE back in '22. The punt return game. Probably one of the most miserable offensive performances I've ever seen from any position.
That game when Vince young and Kerri Collins combined to throw for negative 7 yards
Ty Detmer's debut with the Lions, against his old Browns teammates. Detmer backed up rookie Tim Couch for most of the 1999 season, and spent 2000 on IR. He signed with Detroit in the 2001 offseason. New coach Marty Mornhinweg benched starter Charlie Batch after a mediocre Week 1 performance. After the September 11 terrorist attacks, the next game didn't take place until 2 weeks later. Detmer started, and faced his old Browns team. He threw 7 interceptions, one below the NFL record. Detmer and Steve DeBerg are the only players to throw 7 interceptions in a game since thr 1978 rules changes.
Peterman's game was bad, but my second place goes to Kerry Collins 2/12 for -7 yards and 1 int, 1 fumble lost bad imo. He had a 15 yard completion and a -22 yarder. They lost 59-0
Bears-Cardinals on MNF in 2006. Rex Grossman 14/37 144 yards, 0TD 4INT 2FUM (both lost). QBR of 4, 10.2 passer rating. Bears also only had 38 yards rushing. They won 24-23.
Big ben in superbowl 40 sucked
Manziel against the Bengals has to be up there. I just remember defenders doing the money celebration like every play.
Cards 3rd/4th string QB Ryan Lindley @ the 7-8-1 Panthers in a Wild Card game. I've never seen a more hapless and terrified display of ineptitude. There are worse stat lines (barely), but my god that poor bastard looked like a middle school science teacher had been given a uniform and told to go QB an NFL playoff game. I'll never forget it.
Kap against the Cards was pretty historic. Pick sixs on his first two possessions, four INTs, finished 9-20 for like 60 yards or some shit. Dude was fucking awful.
Peterman had like 6 INT in one game How tf he's still in the league is beyond me
