Worst Post-Marino Era QB?

[Dave Gray]

I think we won a lot in spite of Fiedler.  In that era, we used to score 9 points and win 9-6.  Our defense was amazing.

Fielder has his good games and I like the guy, but he wasn't a very good player.  He did just enough to hold the game together.  I feel that Pennington actually made us better.  He just wasn't here for very long.

I will quote Dave on John Beck: "I saw the fear in his eyes".

[Frimp]

My choice would go to Beck or Lucas. Lucas did far more damage than Beck did.

I need to continue this crusade on Culpepper.
Remember Culpepper was so bad that Joey Harrington was an UPGRADE over him!
By no means am I saying Beck was awesome or a great QB. Its jkust that I think a lot more was expected of Culpepper, so thats why I think he was much worse.

Just to show you some comparisons (and remember, Beck was a rookie, playing on a horrible Fins team):
Beck was 60 out of 107, for 559 yards, and a 56.1% completion rate. He threw 1 TD and 3 INTs. He had a passer rating of 62, and was sacked 10 times (over 5 games, 4 starts)
Culpepper was 81 out of 134, for 929 yards, and a 60.4% completion rate. He threw 2 TDs and 3 INTs. He had a passer rating of 77, and was sacked 21 times. (over 4 games, all starts).

And a little further proof that Culpepper sucked more- Beck is still on an NFL roster, Culpepper is playing in some secondary league.

Good point, Philly

There are a LOT of bad QB's on this list. Its like a who's who of backups and washed up QB's. But just with everything that was expected of him, I think Daunte is the worst.

what about Scott Mitchell,   he sucked as well.     After that performance with the  garbage offensive line and Thigpen's play,  I'm left wondering if Henne was doing all he could on a crappy team.   Hopefully if Thigpen does start for the Raiders game he will do better this time

very good chance the Raiders will be w/o their best defensive player.  That might mitigate the loss of Long and give the o-line a very decent chance.

sorry best defensive lineman

[MaineDolFan]

All I know is this:  I saw the graphic during the Bears game that showed each one of the 15 starters after Marino retired and it made me want to find a small animal to kick.  Pretty sad when you long for the days of Jay Fiedler.  In comparison he was a freakin' all pro.

[DZA]

Ray Lucas... Come on. Ray practically threw Miami season down the toilet after Fiedler went down.  Then John beck pff nuf said. Cleo Lemon..... how he get into the NFL

To the guy who said Brian Griese Sucked are you out of your skull???Were you even a fan in 1972-73?

Think you may have misread. He said Brian Griese sucked. Not Bob Griese.

[jtex316]

^ It's a moot point. Bob Griese was highly over-rated anyways. You probably hear him as an announcer for college football and probably saw him play and thought he was great, but he was not all that great at all. He put up largely mediocre numbers throughout his career - I mean we're talking barely 1,000 yards passing in a 14-game season mediocre.
