Why?
Because Rex Grossman beat him out for worst Super Bowl quarterback ever. I never thought Humphries would lose that honor. Neil O'Donnell gave him a run (and had a worse Super Bowl than Humphries). But after '96, I figured it was all Stan. And it was for a long time. But Rex Grossman--wow. That is a terrible quarterback. When Joey Harrington would be a significant improvement for your team, you know you have a bad quarterback. Grossman simply cannot be the starting QB there next year. He is dreadful.
I wonder who the worst Super Bowl QB was before Humphries. Steve Grogan? Craig Morton? David Woodley?
Also, for those who are questioning the Humphries choice, I think Trent Dilfer and Chris Chandler were significantly better quarterbacks. Todd Collins and Neil O'Donnell were slightly better. As for worst ever performance in the game, Craig Morton going 4-15 for 39 yards and 4 picks in Super Bowl XII must win.
Jeebus, did you have to mention Neil O'Donnell? I'd just about washed the stench of his perfomance from my memory.
ReplyDeleteI swear the Steelers would have beat the Cowboys if they had even an average QB that year.
ReplyDeleteYep. Best defense in the league that year. Brilliant place kicker. Great running back. One lousy quarterback. It is to weep.
