Regardless of how irrational it may seem, or the empirical evidence that proves there are more “busts” than “hits” from players drafted at that position, nothing brings on more hope for NFL teams – and their fans – than when the team selects a quarterback with a first round pick in the NFL Draft.

But as we all know, those players are – statistically speaking – less likely to change the trajectory of their franchise (like a John Elway or Dan Marino) than they are to completely make a mess for several years and force the team to make a way-too-early pick in the NFL Draft just a few years later.

Want proof? Check out this list of 32 quarterbacks selected in the first round of the NFL Draft that turned out to be so disastrous that they both tanked their own careers, and ravaged the immediate futures of their franchise in the process.

    Ryan Leaf should be No. 1 trust me. I’m a Chargers can. And JaMarked Up Russell should be a close 2nd. Everyone one else should be behind both of those losers.. Lol.

    Packers drafted Rich Campbell in 1981 with the 6th pick in the first round. He played 5 years in the league and here’s his stats. 3 td and 9 ints for 386 yards with a Qb rating of 38.8. He should be number one on this list.

    Vince Young must surely have a seat at this table?

    How did Heath Shuler not make this list! Arguably the greatest flop QB in Redskins history, if not the entire NFL.

      Look up rich Campbell of the packers. He’s the worse of all time.

    I would put JP Lossman in the top 10 worse #1 picks ever made!! I’m from Buffalo & week after week we’d had to watch him mess up. He was a total loss!!
