A Look Back at 2008, Week 17

While most of the NFL community is concerned about the sudden decision by J.P. Losman to choose the UFL over possibly being the 7th arm in Oakland Raiders training camp, I thought it would be more interesting to look back on the dreadful performances of Week 17.

Clearly, a debate may rage on who had the worst performance of the weekend; however, Favre and Romo both had opportunities to make the post season during their horrid Week 17 outings.  In the next few weeks, I’ll preview some of the ongoing battles in training camps in cities near you as well as provides some look back at our favorite bad quarterbacks and bad quarterback moments.

While not listed above, Jake Delhomme clearly outperformed the abovementioned individuals with his memorable playoff outing against the what may be the Worst Defense ever to play in a Superbowl.
