A little off topic here, (some relevance since we drafted Stouffer and Gelbaugh played some) but if you thought 2010 was bad with DA, Hall, and Skelton, the 1992 rotation of Kelly Stouffer, Dan McGwire, and Stan Gelbaugh is one of the worst of all time. Maybe THE worst of all time.

I don't really consider Max Hall a starter for our team.. What did he start? 1-2 games? I really wish John Skelton would be on this list.. He flat out sucked like nothing ever sucked before..

No way Anderson should lead this list. He sucked but the guy is still in the league and will have a ten year NFL career when all is said and done. Max Hall currently is the third string QB for a CFL team which is about where Lindley and Skelton belong.

You have to define starting IMO. Lindley started I think 4 games as the #3 QB, if that counts he certainly is among the worst.

if you're going strictly on guys who actually were named the starter based on camp and preseason, that omits Lindley and then you're looking at other guys.

Case or Leinart, but one cost a lot more so that settles that.

Leinart wasn't that poor a QB. His entire career changes if Neil Chokers doesn't miss that FG vs the Bears in the Monday Night Meltdown. With 2:53 left Leinart goes 5-6. Drives the Cards into FG range. Denny runs Edge up the middle twice and Rackers misses the kick. :bang:

But hey it got us to the Super Bowl. However, I can't agree that a guy who recovered from that to set the rookie record for most passing yards in a game later in the year is the worst Arizona Cardinals QB ever.
