I can't even do a poll, because you could make a valid argument for any of the 15 QBs that have started since Dan Marino.

My vote goes to John Beck, who was utterly, ridiculously, and unimaginably over matched. It was a complete and total nightmare in the 1-15 season of just a few years ago. You guys think Henne is robotic and not mobile, go back and view some footage of John Beck.

In fact, I'll save you the effort. Just view this video for all you need to know about how John Beck's NFL career had developed:

Based on the total investment made on him, and the fact that Drew Brees was passed over in favor of him, I'd have to say it was Culpepper.

(modified to add- especially since he was hailed as a savior).

That's a bit unfair to Beck since pretty much the entire team was utterly, rdiculously and unimaginably over matched that year.  Throw a rookie into that situation and you get exactly what you got.  He looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

I'll say it was Joey Harrington who was a 5 year veteran and had a LOT more to work with than Beck did and didn't fare much better.  A.J. Feely and Ray Lucas would be good choices too.

Jtex asks about the 15 who started games. While he was horrible, he was never a starter.

For exactly the reasons Philly said, I'd go with Culpepper as well. So much hype, so little production, and we let the "real" savior go down to the bayou.

That said, if Miami or SF couldn't have Brees, I'm kind of glad that New Orleans got him. They needed that sort of "rallying point" for the community in a big way with all the disaster action.

Honorable mention to John Beck for being the ultimate deer in headlights and for allowing me to make one of my best "thin branch" sports predictions in years.

I'd also say Culpepper.  I admit I was excited when he came to town.  Dissapointment struck hard and fast.

The QB I hated and still dislike the most is Jay Fiedler.  I believe had we started an even slightly below average QB during his tenure we'd have made it farther than we ever did with that clown.  That defense and our running game was not unlike that of the Bucs and Ravens during their Superbowl years.  With the amount of turnovers our defense produced it's irritating how little we scored and how ridiculously predictable (HB draw?) our offense was due to our totally impotent passing.

Ray Lucas.

We had a bad team with Lemon, Feeley, Beck, etc.  Lucas singlehandedly kneecapped us.
