+1 thumbs upYup...Eason was pretty awful. He wasn't even good OUT of the Super Bowl either.

I DID like seeing who got the #10 spot though...it's nice to see someone else acknowledge what I've been saying for years.

He hasn't had enough time to prove himself yet. Also he's a better general QB than most of the listed non-rememberable players.

Maybe that's because Ben didn't single-handedly throw away the game.

forgot about Tony Eason; the only QB in NFL history to not complete at least 1 pass in a Superbowl game>>>>.

Had to put mr fumbleitis Morton in at number one. Craig was practically worthless for the Broncos in that game, against his former team, the Cowboys.

Of course, losing two super bowls for two different teams doesn't help, but considering he had no TDs and 4 picks in the second Super Bowl.

Hmm, the guy I picked threw 3 interceptions, 2 directly to the same guy, which both led to TDs.  No, he really wasn't even close.

For the record, Matt Hasselbeck and Mike Holmgren didn't help matters either...and neither did Josh Brown.  Last time I checked, they weren't the refs.

I'm not saying they were stellar...only that the officiating was bad enough that it could have made the difference. I believe it's safe to say that neither team really DESERVED to walk away with a trophy after that game. Easily the most miserable Super Bowl game I've ever witnessed.

I know there were questionable calls on both sides of the ball, the problem is people fail to realize 2 things when it came to the Seahawks scoring.

1. Josh Brown missed 2 field goals in a dome, and distance wasn't his problem.

2. Hasselbeck called audibles to Holmgren at the end of both halves.

The Seahawks were marching right down the field at the end of the first half, and I believe they could've scored a TD pretty easily if they wouldn't have wasted time with the audibles.  That would be 17 points, add up the 6 points for the 2 FGs Josh Brown kicks through the uprights if he had any sense of accuracy, and that's 23 for the Seahawks.  The officiating wasn't the greatest, but the Seahawks couldn't cap off a drive because of their own mistakes which weren't called as penalties, although Holmgren & Hasselbeck should've been penalized for stupidity with those audibles.  I believe that cost Seattle 7 points at the end of the first half.

How 'bout these doozies:

 

- Earl Morrall, SB 3.     6 outta 17 for 71 yards, 0 TD, 3 int, passer rating of 9.3

- Kerry Collins, SB 35.     15 outta 39 for 112, 0 TD, 4 int, passer rating of 7.1

- Fran Tarkenton, SB 9.    11 outta 26 for 102, 0 TD, 3 int, passer rating of 14.1

- John Elway, SB 24.     10 outta 26 for 108, 0 TD, 2 int, passer rating of 19.4

(and the worst for last, in terms of lowest QB rating ever in a SB)

- Craig Morton, SB 12.     4 outta 15 for 39, 0 TD, 4 int, passer rating of 0.    Yup....zero !

 

For the record, Grossman was 19 outta 28 for 165, 1 TD, 2 ints, rating of 68.3.      Could've been better, but certainly not the worst. 

 

Woodley SB 17, 4 outta 14 for 97, 1 TD, 1 int, rating of 50

Roethlesberger (spell check...) SB 40, was 9 outta 21 for 123, 0 TD, 2 int, rating of 22.6.

Dilfer SB 35, 12 outta 25 for 153, 0 TD, 1 int, rating of 50.9

Kilmer SB 7, was 14 outta 28 for 104, 0 TD, 3 int, rating 19.6

Elway (again) SB 22, 14 outta 38 for 257, 1 TD, 3 int, rating 36.8

Eason SB20, was 0 outta 6, obviously 0 yards, rating 39.6 (0 ints saved his @ss).     (In fact, Eason holds the   record for most passes in a SB without a completion)

 

The defense rests..............

I had to go w/ Collins.  Seriously, I think he got into a bad way w/ some worse people, and threw the game.  Twice it said he threw 4 ints, but I remember 5.  Of course, by the end of that night I was pretty well trashed.

I don't really think there is a competition here. Grossman takes it hands down. How he is still an NFL QB is beyond me.

+1 thumbs upI took this post to be the worst QB overall to start a Super Bowl... not which QB had the worst game in a Super Bowl. And, as much as I wanted to vote Woodley or Dilfer ... overall, GRossman ended up with my vote.

I too didn't look at this as the worst Super Bowl stats by a QB. I don't think that is the question. I simply answered based on (just like majikmanseven) the worst overall QB to start a Super Bowl.
