Dan Fouts (1973-1987)

If you kept up with the NFL in the ‘80s, you probably think that Dan Fouts is a very talented QB. You must be a Chargers fan if this were the case. It is true that he was prolific with over 43,000 rushing yards and 254 touchdown passes. However, current passers can do the same thing regularly in this day and age. The accuracy tends to be better as well, based on the 58.8 completion percentage that he has to his name. He threw 242 interceptions and had an 86-84-1 career record as a starter and a 3-4 playoff record.

Terry Bradshaw (1970-1983)

Well, isn’t it telling that the best-known pass of his career was thrown to a defender before it was caught by a teammate? There might be no NFL quarterback who has had such an average performance become a legacy. Bradshaw can thank his teammates for helping the Steelers bring home four Super Bowl wins. The “Steel Curtain” teams were full of talent, so this QB gets a pass even though he only completed 51.9 percent of his passes and had a 70.9 passer rating. This was enough to land him a spot in the Hall of Fame. He threw for 212 touchdowns against 210 interceptions, so we can safely say that he was not the most effective quarterback in the world as some people make him out to be.
