We haven't drafted a good QB since Slinging Sammy Baugh. Seriously. Thiesman and Sonny were drafted elsewhere. Rippen and Williams were not good by any stretch of the imagination outside of one season (quarter) each in Washington (read: the team around them).

We have to be pretty close to the worst QB franchise in the NFL.

We have had QBs executed their duties with in the team construct to win 3 SBs. But in my opinion those were great teams not great QBs.

There is a pretty extensive list of teams that have never won a super bowl.
AFAIC that keeps us off of any worst team list that you perceive.

I played a little QB in school so I am biased towards the position but I will be the first to tell you that the QB position is not the end all, be all of a football team. Having Tom Brady on the Jaguars doesn't get them 14 wins and Trent Dilfer won the Superbowl with a good ravens team. It's a team game. It takes a strong 53 man roster to win games. Great QB's only matter if the team is average or above at every other position and average QB's perform well with the same average or above average teams. It's easy to give credit for a win or a loss to the QB but this is a team sport.

Actually Rypien did have a few good years here before the 91 season. People forget this but Monk, Clark and Sanders all went over 1,000 yards in 89 and Rypien was the qb for most of those throws. Having 3 wr's go over 1,000 is rare, even today. Very impressive stuff back in 89.

Williams was not drafted here. He was drafted by the Bucs in 77 or 78 I believe.

Some of the drafted guys I remember...Tom Flick, Jay Schreoder, Babe Laufenberg, Ryp, Stan Humphries, Cary Conklin, Heath, Gus, Rosenfels, Ramsey, JC, Brennan, Chase, RG3, Kirk.

Trent Green was really good but was drafted by someone else. Can't remember.

Out of all those scrubs, Schreoder was really the one who had serious physical skills. He had one of the strongest arms I've ever seen. He was in John Elway's league as far as big boy arms. He was mobile, really had the huge upside. Too bad he was basically Jeff George before Jeff George. But he still might hold the single season yardage record for the Skins back in 86.
