*Worst QB Performances of All Time - kckolbe - 07-12-2018 Having seen a pretty horrible performance last night, I thought it would be fun to compare it to some of the worst performances by various QBs all through the history of the league. While Pierno accounts for some of the worst performances of all time, I limited it to one game per QB to make it more interesting. #5: Season 1, Week 1 Mike Boss begins the first QB narrative Mike Boss is likely to be the only QB to make the Hall of Fame, but not a lot of folks know that his first game ever was one of the worst played by any QB. Of all the performances on this list, it is the only one to have a positive TANY/A, but when you have two of the league’s best receivers dragging CBs for extra yards, that can be very misleading. Boss passed the ball 50 times, yet, despite his great WRs, failed to find the end zone once, despite being at home. On top of that, he threw an impressive 6 interceptions, which was, and still remains, a league record. (Final TANY/A: 0.16) #4: Season 3, Week 6 HO begins considering OL bots Clifford Rove had a short career, but was expected to be the greatest prospect ever. He joined the league right after the Season Two draft, so had a full season of earning TPE prior to the draft. The Liberty were the only team that really needed a QB, so they didn’t give up a ton to get him. Naturally, he was expected to struggle his rookie year, but by week 1 he already had more TPE than the guy he replaced. Well, week 6 took him to Arizona, and Arizona took him to the hospital. All but one member of the Outlaws front seven got to him at least once, and the team set a league record with 12 sacks, which they would later break week 14 against Bercovici with 13. That game didn’t make the list, since Berc actually still had a decent game, considering. Fun fact: the league introduced OL bots the next season. Rove, however, appeared a bit punch drunk, throwing 4 interceptions and 0 touchdowns. (Final TANY/A: -1.63) #3: Season 2, Week 2 Bercovici shows experience/home field advantage guarantee nothing The first game of Season Two showed the Las Vegas Legion hosting the Baltimore Hawks (eventual NSFC Champions), and beating them in a thrilling overtime game. Berc wasn’t *great,* but he showed he could get it done. After all, he had a season under his belt, as much as any other player. The Legion might not be as bad as it looked. Then the Legion hosted the Yeti. On 44 attempts and 50 drop backs, Bercovici completed only 14 passes for 109 yards. I’ve seen QBs make big mistakes, but I have never seen a QB just look so powerless. And this was a home game against a mediocre team, almost exactly halfway in the power rankings. (Final TANY/A: -1.32) #2: Season 7, Week 2 “The Savior” corrects expectations After 4 seasons of Nicolas Pierno, the worst QB in the history of the league, the Yeti finally had a real QB in Ryan Applehort. He’d already spent a year in the DSFL, had built in the style of the most successful QBs in the league, and just seemed to be the answer the team needed. Sure, he’d struggled a little against Yellowknife, but they were the favorite to win it all that year. There was hope. Then the Yeti traveled to Philadelphia. Applehort was held to 110 yards all game…50 of those yards came on the final drive, down by 40 points at the time. At the time he’d been sacked 9 times for 56 yards lost, meaning that he’d gained 4 yards until the final prevent defense showed up. Even then he couldn’t get a touchdown pass, finishing with 0 TDs and 3 INTs. (Final TANY/A: -2.69) #1: Season Four, Week 7 Pierno has learned NOTHING Pierno’s rookie season remains, by TANY/A (and every other meaningful metric), the worst performance by any QB. I avoided using any of those games, because Pierno had built to fuck around in the DSFL, and I’d feel wrong laughing at his expense knowing his plans. Hell, I and the 72 agility I gave Fitzpatrick can empathize. By Season 4, though, he’d had a year to develop, fix his build, and would benefit from OL bots, which had just become available. In Week 7, though, as the Yeti hosted the San Jose Sabercats, a team that still had never make the playoffs (and wouldn’t that year either), and Pierno put on a clinic of failure. In only 23 attempts, he threw 4 interceptions. 23 attempts may not sound like a lot, but 15 of them were incomplete due to his 34% completion percentage, the second-worst of all time (the worst was 32% by him the previous year). In addition, despite having the highest speed of any QB in the league, he finished with -1 rushing yards. Horrible on the ground and through the air despite a season of experience, at home against an unimpressive team, Pierno played the second-worst game, by TANY/A, of any QB ever. (Final TANY/A: -2.92) EDIT: To put Noble's performance in perspective, his TANY/A against Arizona was a -2.07. *Worst QB Performances of All Time - Preza - 07-13-2018 These are pretty fun to look over, cool to be able to learn a bit of league history from this read! *Worst QB Performances of All Time - timeconsumer - 07-13-2018 (07-13-2018, 04:21 PM)Preza Wrote:These are pretty fun to look over, cool to be able to learn a bit of league history from this read!
