After years of sweat and perseverance, Joey Harrington has finally reached the top. Pro-Football-Reference.com has named him the worst quarterback in NFL history.Chase Stuart twists the knife:
...No QB has performed so far below the league average for so long as Joey Harrington. To be clear, Joey Harrington probably isn’t the worst quarterback of all time in an absolute sense. But in terms of being so far below average, but far enough above miserable to earn more playing time, Joey Harrington hurt his team more than any other QB in NFL history. If Harrington had been worse, he would have played less, and he wouldn’t have set back the teams he played on. To put it another way, if you had the choice of getting Joey Harrington for 2,538 attempts, or Roger Goodell for 9 attempts you would certainly choose Goodell. At least after he’s gone, your team has a chance.The Chick-fil-A tomahawk chopping cow should give Joey a 21-chop salute at the Braves' next home game.

Really? Worse than Ryan Leaf? I call an audible, but Joey definitely is on the short list. Thing is, the really bad QBs get shuttled out too quick to establish a "legacy" as a bad quarterback. Oh wait I forgot about Jim Zorn...
