Norm Van Brocklin (1949-1960)

In the ‘50s, Norm Van Brocklin was deemed an iconic QB with the arms to match, but he might just be a journeyman if he played in this day and age. The two-time NFL champ with the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams has earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame even though he had a short career. He threw for 173 touchdowns against 178 interceptions. His passing completion is also only 54 percent.

Archie Manning (1971-1984)

If we only based it on career production, we might not even have heard of Archie Manning. Somehow, he got inducted into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame even though he did not lead the team to victory during the course of his tenure in the league. He finished his career with a 35-101-3 record, which might shock you. In all the games that he played in, this QB threw 173 interceptions against only 125 touchdowns. His passing completion rate is only 55.2 percent, which is far from impressive. Eli, his son, takes after him in the sense that his legacy has also been overinflated.
