NFL 100 Worst QBs

Let's do this. I see it working something like this: each poster nominates 5 names they'd like to see on the "top" 10, until 25 different QBs have been nominated by at least three different people. Then I/someone else will collect the qualifiers and put them on a Google form, where you can vote for your 10 worst; votes will be collected until they stop coming in, then it will be closed and the top 10 vote-getters make the "team". For the two-way era, a "QB" is anyone who took significant passing work. Use whatever criteria you want for "worst": a bust like Ryan Leaf, a loser like Brodie Croyle, just plain bad like Nathan Peterman, etc. What do y'all say? I'll start with example nominations:

Ryan Lindley - a generally inept character who, after starting his career with more than 200 passes before his first TD, is now largely responsible for the ruination of Baker Mayfield.
Davey O'Brien - weeps in envy of Peyton Manning's mobility. Hey, Peyton ran for a wide-open TD in 2013!
Ryan Leaf - enough said. Wish him well at ESPN.
Johnny Gildea - another all-round useless sort. Couldn't throw, couldn't run, couldn't kick. Couldn't do nothin'.
Randy Hedberg - enough said. But unlike Lindley, a good QB coach!

Ryan Leaf
Craig Whelihan
Mike Taliaferro

There are many who made only a few appearances and were putrid but I wanted to nominate five bad ones who threw at least 500 passes.

Dan Darragh is being unfairly judged by history. Forced to start as a rookie, lousy offensive line, lousy head coaches (Johnson and Rauch), no support from the defense (except in that historic 1968 upset of the Jets …). He didn't stand a chance.
