NFL's Worst QB Situations Ranked | NFL News

About this episode

The NFL season is here, and the worst quarterback situations are in full view—teams scrambling to make do with shaky starters, injury-riddled rosters, and backups who barely inspire confidence. From Bryce Young’s inconsistency in Carolina to Kyler Murray’s hopeful change of scenery in Minnesota, this year’s bottom ten QB tiers reveal a league teetering on chaos. Cam Ward’s rookie struggles in Tennessee, Daniel Jones’ injury-riddled Colts, and Tyler Shough’s uncertain Saints all join Tua Tagovailoa’s QB battle in Atlanta. Miami’s Malik Willis, Arizona’s rebuilding Brissett/Minshew duo, and Geno Smith’s Jets—with rookie Cade Klubnik as his only backup—are barely holding it together. And at the very bottom? The Browns, forced to start Deshaun Watson despite his baggage, with Shedeur Sanders as their most promising backup—but overall, Cleveland’s QB room is the least stable in football heading into Week 1.
