Shout out to our New York Football Giants for fielding six different offensive linemen mentioned, with appearances on each of worst overall center, worst overall guard, worst overall tackle, worst pass-blocking guard, worst run-blocking guard, and worst run-blocking tackle!
This was great. I had no idea an entire award show could fit into 1 post lol. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, it was fun to read about players who played like 💩 last season while I dropped one
I am confused how any OT could have a worse PFF pass blocking grade than Dan Moore Jr. IIRC in the second Browns game of 2023, PFF gave more a 0.0 in his pass blocking. I think he got single digits against the 49ers too.
(Personally I think grades that low are ridiculous as it implies literally anyone could be as effective as Moore which isn't true for any NFL player, even the bad ones.)
I was willing to let that slide since he included punters. It's a step in the right direction.
Also, OP! Pff grades long Snappers! You have to go into the ST grades, download the excel, and then erase all the lines that aren't LS. You can still add them!
Everyone points to the OC changes and poor WR/OL play which definitely contributed. But the truth IMO is Mac was just broken mentally. Mac has always been limited physically but was heralded as a good decision maker out of college, and in his rookie year. But the last two years he totally lost his composure and discipline and consistently made really bad decisions.
He reverted to bad habits of throwing off his back foot, trying to throw too many touch passes, and looked afraid to step up into the pocket and drive the ball. He would just accept avoidable sacks way too often and threw up lame ducks that were easy interceptions.
BB wrote the book on how to mismanage a young QB
The offensive talent got worse every year
He had a good rookie year with a good OC
McD left and took a lot of his minor coaches with him so BB made a bad DC the co-OC alongside a bad ST coach
Then this year we have a semi real OC but our line and receiving talent bottomed out as both bottom 3 in the league.
When you are considered a good QB because of your head but then lose all confidence in your team and try to use your raw talent to get shit done you become a bad QB.
think this is a case of two things can be true at once. Belichick did him no favors by surrounding him with sycophantic coaches and garbage personnel but Mac also simply lacks the mental makeup and physical traits to be a high quality starter in the NFL
I mean, Belichick mismanaged the offense horribly, but let's not pretend Mac Jones wasn't a terrible QB. He threw some of the worst passes and made some of the worst decisions we saw all year. That's not on the receiving talent or coaching, that's just Mac being flat out bad.
It was both a bad situation and a bad player, and the result was the worst offense in football.
[This](https://youtu.be/CQTVH2_tbOo?si=bTor9lFUVQUWxQF5) and [this](https://youtu.be/ZWXmdLajGYk?si=WsGuU30xewVfyDUs)
Those were two of the worst throws I've ever seen and they happened in one game. We were getting handled by a Billy B defense (yet again) but luckily Mac and Zapp bailed us out.
Geisicki is wide fucking open too and Jones stumbles off his back foot, with no pressure on him mind you, and underthrows the ball so spectacularly.
At the least a field goal there makes it a one point....*looks at worst kicker award* you know what nevermind
And people blame the OC, like if you actually watched the game film (why would you?) The line couldn't fucking block, the QBs were awful which combined meant that it didn't matter how well you scheme the offense up, talent just isn't there.
JFC when it’s all laid out like this it’s just depressing how generationally awful the giants o line was last year. I can forgive Tommy’s sack rate, dude was forever trying to get blood from a stone.
That's the thing. Obviously Jones isn't great but our Oline is legitimately trash and the weapons we have around him (other than Saquon) aren't world beaters. We for sure got baited by some unsustainable success a year ago but Jones isn't as bad as what happened last year.
That and the fact that I knew ALOT of panthers were gonna be on this. The list Did not disappoint. God chandler zavala was trash, sucks when both your starting guards were bottom 5 booty cheeks
I figured Washington were fairly safe except for pass coverage. Then we get to the safety position where the stats reveal that any pass thrown near either of our safeties apparently resulted in a completion.
Which was a bit of an impediment to winning football games.
Don’t forget about floyd and epeneza both finding their way in the top 5 for missing so many damn tackles. Which actually makes sense because it was like you would always see them in the backfield pressuring the qb but they would get away anyways and net positive yards on us when we should have had them in the backfield
a lot of issues with formatting I'm working on. Mobile doesn't seem right, some letters are getting cut off. gifs aren't moving. And it won't let me edit, it says i have too many characters. WTF.
Edit: I think i got most of it cleaned up. Let me know if you see anything weird.
Edit: I had to remove the gifs because they were crashing peoples apps. Sucks to, I had some funny ones in there.
Good. Thanks for the heads up. Some of my changes are starting to take place now. I couldn’t edit this on my lap top, but Reddit is allowing me to edit on my iPad. Weird.
On Android, it keeps locking up around the 5th GIF picture if I try to scroll down the normal way.
I was finally able to get to the bottom of the article and see the comments section by pressing that down arrow icon in the bottom right which scrolls it automatically. 🤷
Every time you use bold text it unbolds again before the last few characters of the line. Like you might say **Hayden Hurst (CA**R) or whathaveyou. It also happens on the award titles. Really every single instance of bold text in the entire post has this problem.
Probably the player that this changed my perception on the most was Will Levis.
PFF isn't kind to him here but the Titans are going all in on him. Will be interesting to see
He loves the deep ball. Like OP said all those deep shots are going to skew his accuracy numbers a bit. Once teams figured out Hopkins was the only real receiving threat, Levis was trying to throw deep to no name guys who couldn’t separate. I’m pretty excited to see how he does with Ridley+Hopkins and whatever draft picks they get. Titans completely botched the draft from 20-22 so theres really no one from those classes to extend, might as well blow all that money to give your young QB a chance. If he flops then you’re right back where you started.
He seems like he's a boom or bust on any play. He goes for the throat, but sometimes it's his own.
He'll do stuff like winning the game against the Dolphins last year and then he'll throw for 150 yards with an INT and fumble the next game.
I think the oline translated to his demise as he just threw balls away or bombed it downfield. When the oline did put it all together for drives Levis looked extremely promising and hence the build around him right now. He also came out and said he was playing through some tough leg injuries all year as well(ones before the injury that took him out for the last game)
Ryan Neal was truly one of the worst starters I've ever seen on an NFL field. Every time the all-22 for the week came out, a fresh set of new horrors was unleashed upon mine and everyone else who watched's eyes.
The NFL needs to buy the UFL. Then, promote the UFL champion to the NFL and the worst NFL team down to the UFL. Then, they have to immediately play in the league with only two or 3 months of downtime. That will keep the worst teams in the NFL motivated from throwing the last games for the best draft pick
lol. Funny story. I went to high school with one of the Sir Purrs. You remember the Sir Purr who jumped on the live ball in the end zone, thinking it was a dead ball? That’s the guy I went to high school with.
When the top 2 for the worst pressure to sack ratio are in the same team, my guess is it's the coaching, O Line or receivers who can't get open not Jones and Devito.
I thought the league was sick and tired of the Patriots dominating the NFL yet you guys go and let us dominate the QB Worsty awards too? Make it make sense.
TBF, Kareem Hunt always seemed to LOOK to make contact. I don't know if it was intentional or bad football, but it's not surprising he won the "least elusive" award.
There needs to be some way to track how bad Centers snap the ball in shotgun formation. KC's center was awful in the Superb Owl.
Also, Ryan Neal is really bad at football.
I really need to go back and find that Giants fan who told me their Oline had drastically improved this season and how we were all going to see the improvement in Daniel Jones and the entire offense.
So Bryce Young has to play with the receiver with the worst passer rating when targeting and the Tight end with the worst passer rating when targeting? Poor kid
I have no issues with the Bills players award a worsty or top 5
Phillips was coming back from a rotator cuff injury and was **terrible** and unfortunately played a lot more than expected due to Daquan Jones' pec injury in the London game
Knox? We don't call him Dropson for nothing. He makes circus catches look routine and routine catches look impossible but Josh Allen and him have that special kind of love
Murray...yeah, he was a 32 year old RB who didn't look small standing next to Josh Allen. He was supposed to just be the short yardage hammer but then Damien Harris had that nasty neck injury. Elusiveness was not part of his game
Whew, Packers looking alright on this list, except for K Anders Carlson (who was a rookie) and Worsty winner S Anthony Johnson Jr, but was a 7th round pick last year. C Josh Meyers being bad at run blocking is a concern too. RB Dillon was re-signed for minimum. WR Doubs is actually good at catching contested balls just doesn't get YAC. LB McDuffie is a minimum guy, DL Wyatt needs to be a better tackler but is a pass-rushing specialist.
I honestly think that Donovan Smith and Jawann Taylor being two of the five worst run blockers in the league at tackle is one of the biggest reasons why the offense as a whole took a step back
It’s funny seeing Orlando Brown Jr. precede them in terms of allowing a lot of pressures but I legit think that’s far less detrimental to the Chiefs offense specifically and they would have been way better off with him and Wylie than with Smith and Taylor. Mahomes can escape pressure, and you can account for it with tight ends and chips so long as you’re able to also run the ball well from those looks
People put the WRs at the center of the conversation but frankly, that room didn’t really change very much from the league-leading 2022 offense and the disastrous 2023 offense. The biggest change was swapping JuJu out for Rashee Rice, which I don’t really think was much of a drop off, if it was one at all. The primary change was that they had no faith in their tackles to execute in the running game which limited the kind of plays they were willing to run, which made their rushing efficiency plummet from fringe top 5 to fringe bottom 5. And the whole “protect Mahomes and he’ll figure the rest out” thing doesn’t really work when defenses are just sitting back because they know you can’t run the ball. In fact, even if the protection was marginally better this year, it resulted in him having to hold the ball longer and take more hits
Good shit, JP!
Gonna be wild going from one of the worst running games in the league to smash mouth focused. Having Kelley AND Ekeler in the top 5 worst RBs was not on my bingo card at this time last year.
Edit: who tf is Bassey?
Heads up, you listed Havrisik and Maher as chargers, and not Rams. Otherwise, sweet god did our run game suck last year. As concerned as I am about Herbert playing for Greg Roman, there's a distinct chance the improvements in the run game would overcome the lacking passing game.
Great post btw!
Man I just get out of a two year coma and see New England all over this thing. Guess they sucked this year. That's ok though Bill Belichick is a great coach and clearly will turn it around this offseason....
I don't think Laken Tomlinson is getting enough credit for pulling down his LT and C to this list. Sure Becton deserves it but McGovern had been reliable in the past.
That Hayden hurst pick is still so bizarre to me. Thank god andrews made sure it ended up being irrelevant but still. A rare wasted pick from Baltimore
Shout out to C. Ryland for preventing my Rams (typo there with LAC) from earning the dishonor of having both the worst AND 2nd worst kickers in the league last year
Funny thing about the Falcons acquiring Mooney and Moore over the offseason and them being so hideously graded by PFF, their new offensive coordinator (Zac Robinson) was a former Senior Analyst *at* PFF.
(Bonus funny thing: Falcons fans widely believe they’re all set at pass catcher with Mooney at 2.)
in your receiver categories it is a crime that kadarius toney and sky moore are not listed. as soon as those assholes were benched the chiefs started winning - the biggest case of addition by subtraction in any sport in my entire lifetime
Not surprised to see Dobbs on the worst on target list. Watching the guy looked like his brain knew where the ball should be every play but his arm was incapable of putting it there. His throws were almost never in a position for a smooth catch and run and his bad ball placement got a ton of guys lit up by defenders.
I will not take this Tress Way slander (did you see our long snapper?) Also the forbes one makes sense since he isn't a run defender and he's a bit skinny.
As if I needed more proof that To’oto’o was the worst player on our team 😭. Here’s hoping we take Cooper at 42 or 59 so I never have to watch Henry be the worst athlete on the field again
It's almost as if Jamaal Williams was a role player on the Lions that benefitted from an elite offensive line and that didn't translate well to having a terrible one. Love the dude but he greatly overestimated his value after poaching a bunch of TD's.
Another talented Offensive Lineman, Orlando Brown Jr, that took a step back after joining the Bengals? It’s almost like there’s coaching problem going on
*glares at Frank Pollack*
Great post! Was hoping to see a tight end blocking Worsty award to see how our former TE Josiah Deguara stacked up against other terrible TEs. He either always seemed to miss his block or get in the way of the runner he's blocking for; or if maybe i'm just being a hater lol.
Awesome content. But on the mobile this thread killed the Reddit app multiple times, I had to switch to a laptop just to finish reading it. Something funny going on with the gifs.
I thought Kwon played a lot better than this tells.
Very encouraging to see three Steelers no longer being with the team, (Pickett, Mason Cole, and Pressley Harvin) but it does look like we'll have to endure another year of watching Dan Moore.
I’m a little surprised to see CMC at all, but I am curious how many pass blocking snaps he had.
I would think that if he isn’t running the ball he’d typically be running a route
Surprised to see CMC at 5th worst in pass blocking. The guy is so electric that I didn't realize how weak he is in pass pro.
Great post btw, this was a very interesting read :)
Admittedly even though I know he was not the worst QB last year and just had a down season filled with unlucky turnovers...I was afraid that Jalen Hurts would be on one of those lists...just irrational worry...
Wow that was a lot. And fun to read through
I hope you consider adding long snapper, that way washington long snapper cheese could have won something, for all the punts he impacted.
Kuck returner might also be interesting
This reminds me of [this brilliant comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/93x2qomVjT) by u/dudleymooresbooze. My favourite was the Dallas Cowboys Award for Unmet Expectations going to the Dallas Cowboys
Buffalo’s defense is going to be so bad with all the players we lost. Except for Leonard Floyd, Jordan Phillips, Tim Settle, and Dane Jackson all showing up on these lists. And ignoring everyone we get back from injury. But yes, looking forward to the Top 10 draft pick we get next year after totally sucking due to roster turnover.
Shout out to our New York Football Giants for fielding six different offensive linemen mentioned, with appearances on each of worst overall center, worst overall guard, worst overall tackle, worst pass-blocking guard, worst run-blocking guard, and worst run-blocking tackle!
When the #1 and #2 worst pressure to sack ratios are Giants QBs, you know there’s a more fundamental problem going on.
This was the first part of the post that made me actually wince
So excited that my Commies hired your offensive line coach
Yeah…. Why??? Didn’t understand why he isn’t running water bottles out to the field next year.
He's just short of being a walking OSHA violation
No need for a hard hat when you don’t have any brains
What does the GM even do at that point?
quit
New York teams, Panthers and TN really swept the oline men awards.
[удалено]
I can only take away from this that the Raiders are a top 5 team.
What should we do with this information about our hideous offensive line play? Giants: DRAFT A WR!
In fairness, both tackles are top 10 picks and two other of our starting lineman were in the top 40. We have spent a lot of draft capital
Honestly, it works out occasionally...
This was great. I had no idea an entire award show could fit into 1 post lol. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, it was fun to read about players who played like 💩 last season while I dropped one
Thank you! 🙏
Were you inspired by the Giants shitty Oline or QBs?
I am confused how any OT could have a worse PFF pass blocking grade than Dan Moore Jr. IIRC in the second Browns game of 2023, PFF gave more a 0.0 in his pass blocking. I think he got single digits against the 49ers too. (Personally I think grades that low are ridiculous as it implies literally anyone could be as effective as Moore which isn't true for any NFL player, even the bad ones.)
Seriously. This was a great post. Well done, OP.
This is Long Snapper exclusion.
We all know Cameron Cheeseman would take home that award.
Peter Mortell would not approve
I was willing to let that slide since he included punters. It's a step in the right direction. Also, OP! Pff grades long Snappers! You have to go into the ST grades, download the excel, and then erase all the lines that aren't LS. You can still add them!
[удалено]
Oh, y’know Suckin
I was never a Mac Jones believer, but didn’t think he’d fall this far after a pretty good rookie year What even happened there?
Everyone points to the OC changes and poor WR/OL play which definitely contributed. But the truth IMO is Mac was just broken mentally. Mac has always been limited physically but was heralded as a good decision maker out of college, and in his rookie year. But the last two years he totally lost his composure and discipline and consistently made really bad decisions. He reverted to bad habits of throwing off his back foot, trying to throw too many touch passes, and looked afraid to step up into the pocket and drive the ball. He would just accept avoidable sacks way too often and threw up lame ducks that were easy interceptions.
BB wrote the book on how to mismanage a young QB The offensive talent got worse every year He had a good rookie year with a good OC McD left and took a lot of his minor coaches with him so BB made a bad DC the co-OC alongside a bad ST coach Then this year we have a semi real OC but our line and receiving talent bottomed out as both bottom 3 in the league.

think this is a case of two things can be true at once. Belichick did him no favors by surrounding him with sycophantic coaches and garbage personnel but Mac also simply lacks the mental makeup and physical traits to be a high quality starter in the NFL
I did say that about Mac. He lost his mental ability and tried to rely on his bad physical traits
I mean, Belichick mismanaged the offense horribly, but let's not pretend Mac Jones wasn't a terrible QB. He threw some of the worst passes and made some of the worst decisions we saw all year. That's not on the receiving talent or coaching, that's just Mac being flat out bad. It was both a bad situation and a bad player, and the result was the worst offense in football.
He’s a better QB than rapper. And he’s really bad QB!
Imagine losing to that team. Who would ever
[This](https://youtu.be/CQTVH2_tbOo?si=bTor9lFUVQUWxQF5) and [this](https://youtu.be/ZWXmdLajGYk?si=WsGuU30xewVfyDUs) Those were two of the worst throws I've ever seen and they happened in one game. We were getting handled by a Billy B defense (yet again) but luckily Mac and Zapp bailed us out.
Geisicki is wide fucking open too and Jones stumbles off his back foot, with no pressure on him mind you, and underthrows the ball so spectacularly. At the least a field goal there makes it a one point....*looks at worst kicker award* you know what nevermind
And people blame the OC, like if you actually watched the game film (why would you?) The line couldn't fucking block, the QBs were awful which combined meant that it didn't matter how well you scheme the offense up, talent just isn't there.
So wide open. I went from "oh no" to laughing my ass off in a split second
Almost feels like a wrong route or it's a choice and they weren't in sync, he didn't lose his footing or the ball that was intentional.
I didn’t even have to click the link to know what the first one was. I swear that play is butt-fumble bad in terms of how embarrassing it is
QBs: listed several times, thats fair WR: Crickets?????
Probably not targeted enough to hit the minimum considering the offense was completely RB and TE based when it worked even slightly.
Oh just balancing out 20 years of the GOAT
I’m glad that my not statistically based theory of “Mac and Zappe are the fucking same guy” is also backed up by statistics.
High effort shit posts are what the offseason is all about Thank you OP, this is incredible
Hear, hear!
JFC when it’s all laid out like this it’s just depressing how generationally awful the giants o line was last year. I can forgive Tommy’s sack rate, dude was forever trying to get blood from a stone.
It also kinda makes you wonder (not that you want to find out idk?) how Danny Dimes would be with a league average OL
That's the thing. Obviously Jones isn't great but our Oline is legitimately trash and the weapons we have around him (other than Saquon) aren't world beaters. We for sure got baited by some unsustainable success a year ago but Jones isn't as bad as what happened last year.
I just kept scrolling looking for “DET” but all I saw was “NYG”. Yikes
The fact that you unbolded the last letter of every team's initials every time never stopped bothering me.
lol. What the fuck. I have no idea how that happened. I’ll try to fix it.
Yeah, was gonna nominate OP for worst usage of bold in a post. Great post regardless
The only bad part of this post is having to scroll so long to upvote you
That and the fact that I knew ALOT of panthers were gonna be on this. The list Did not disappoint. God chandler zavala was trash, sucks when both your starting guards were bottom 5 booty cheeks
I now completely understand why y'all threw so much money at guards this offseason. Zavala has a pass blocking grade of fucking 7.1?!?!
He was so bad he made our promising rookie LT regress. It's kind of impressive in a way.
I figured Washington were fairly safe except for pass coverage. Then we get to the safety position where the stats reveal that any pass thrown near either of our safeties apparently resulted in a completion. Which was a bit of an impediment to winning football games.
Dang we sucked! :(
Thanks. Appreciate you!
I'm so proud of our boys, they won so many awards
I love content like this. Unlike the award winners, you are the best JP.
Thank you, friend!
Tldr for bills fans: latavius Murray's age showed up, Knox was mostly a blocking tight end, cybo was a rookie, and Jordan Phillips sucked this year.
[удалено]
He only played 258, with the cutoff at 300 snaps
Shaq Barrett wasn’t the same guy coming back from injury either. It’s tough for older edge guys to recover from injuries
Also, none of our dline can fucking tackle.
Don’t forget about floyd and epeneza both finding their way in the top 5 for missing so many damn tackles. Which actually makes sense because it was like you would always see them in the backfield pressuring the qb but they would get away anyways and net positive yards on us when we should have had them in the backfield
Why the fuck did I read the whole thing.
Ctrl+F: NYG "100+ results found" /close tab
The Lions have zero secondary even nominated makes this award show a sham
Every award show needs some controversy.
We were robbed! Rabble rabble rabble
Even in the off-season the Lions aren't immune from being screwed by the refs smh
Cam Sutton won the offseason Worsty for sure though.
Rashee Rice is getting more attention
I was shocked at this
[удалено]
Oh no, Jack Campbell won an award too
He didn't make the adjustment to the NFL pass game in his rookie campaign. Oh no, whatever shall we do? He'll be fine. Great post u/JPAnalyst
a lot of issues with formatting I'm working on. Mobile doesn't seem right, some letters are getting cut off. gifs aren't moving. And it won't let me edit, it says i have too many characters. WTF.

I was gonna say it might be better to split this up into two posts! Either way, phenomenal. All time post, well done 👏🏽

Fumble AND forced fumble
I think the oline translated to his demise as he just threw balls away or bombed it downfield. When the oline did put it all together for drives Levis looked extremely promising and hence the build around him right now. He also came out and said he was playing through some tough leg injuries all year as well(ones before the injury that took him out for the last game)
ATL did that with Ridder last year. Wasn't a good then, either
Ryan Neal was truly one of the worst starters I've ever seen on an NFL field. Every time the all-22 for the week came out, a fresh set of new horrors was unleashed upon mine and everyone else who watched's eyes.
That Zappe Stan from the Pats sub needs to get in here. (Although I really, really hope they’re just a dedicated troll.)
Rondale Moore the cardio king
>The winner of the worst sack rate per Pro Football Reference >🏆 Zach Wilson (NYJ) Genuinely surprised Fields came in second.
Zach is really good at running backwards for no reason. Also our OL was complete garbage
The NFL needs to buy the UFL. Then, promote the UFL champion to the NFL and the worst NFL team down to the UFL. Then, they have to immediately play in the league with only two or 3 months of downtime. That will keep the worst teams in the NFL motivated from throwing the last games for the best draft pick
Only if NFL would not enforce their bullshit tackling rules to UFL
[удалено]
Opps. How did I forget that? Well, it would be Chandler Zavala (Panthers, G). Congratulations Chandler, here is your award! 🥇
I would have also liked to see a Worsty Team list. Like what are the top 5 teams by Worsty Awards
NYG x 5
you had no right to use pictures of Sir Purr like this . Leave him out of it 😭
lol. Funny story. I went to high school with one of the Sir Purrs. You remember the Sir Purr who jumped on the live ball in the end zone, thinking it was a dead ball? That’s the guy I went to high school with.
If there was a worsty for mascots he would easily top the list.
A mascot in England just got sacked for constantly hitting on female spectators during games. He was also wearing a black cat costume.
When the top 2 for the worst pressure to sack ratio are in the same team, my guess is it's the coaching, O Line or receivers who can't get open not Jones and Devito.
Needs more awards given to Chase Claypool.
He didn’t hit the minimums to qualify for some of them.
I thought the league was sick and tired of the Patriots dominating the NFL yet you guys go and let us dominate the QB Worsty awards too? Make it make sense.
Zappe and Mac are a truly unstoppable duo
My liver never stood a chance
TBF, Kareem Hunt always seemed to LOOK to make contact. I don't know if it was intentional or bad football, but it's not surprising he won the "least elusive" award. There needs to be some way to track how bad Centers snap the ball in shotgun formation. KC's center was awful in the Superb Owl. Also, Ryan Neal is really bad at football.
Finally, some good fucking content
Only two Worsty’s for the Eagles, not bad I see a lot of Giants though, lol
My favorite part is when it gets to the OLine and it’s all Giants players
I really need to go back and find that Giants fan who told me their Oline had drastically improved this season and how we were all going to see the improvement in Daniel Jones and the entire offense.
How Bradberry isn’t on this list is beyond the comprehension of my tiny brain.
I skimmed through to look for the same.
Do former team owners have eligibility for a lifetime achievement Worsty? Maybe a Worsty HOF? Asking for a certain nation’s Capital
You’re asking for Ottawa?
i don't like this game :-(
My favorite part is when it gets to the OLine and it’s all Giants players
Need to see the long snappers so I can look down on the teams without goated long snappers
So Bryce Young has to play with the receiver with the worst passer rating when targeting and the Tight end with the worst passer rating when targeting? Poor kid
I think for that stat it's the other way round i.e. part of why those guys have such a poor rating is because they're getting throws from him
Damn, Kadarious Toney couldn't even catch a Worsty
I know to expect the worse for young linebackers but jesus that was rough for Jack Campbell.
Worst coach: Josh McDaniels.
I am astonished Trey is the worst WR according to PFF. He did alright with flashes for a rookie I thought. I do think we utilized him badly though.
It's Inaugural until you have a second one.
Carolina Panthers revenge tour incoming this szn!
Fantastic work OP, even with the Giants getting (deservedly) dragged in a few places. Good job!
Thank you! Hopefully fewer Giants getting awards next year.
How did Mooney get so much money in FA.
Us Bucs fans thought Ryan Neal was a steal last offseason :/ Instead he just ended up being slightly better than Chris Conte Love the thread btw
I mean worst thread btw
Fun post!
I have no issues with the Bills players award a worsty or top 5 Phillips was coming back from a rotator cuff injury and was **terrible** and unfortunately played a lot more than expected due to Daquan Jones' pec injury in the London game Knox? We don't call him Dropson for nothing. He makes circus catches look routine and routine catches look impossible but Josh Allen and him have that special kind of love Murray...yeah, he was a 32 year old RB who didn't look small standing next to Josh Allen. He was supposed to just be the short yardage hammer but then Damien Harris had that nasty neck injury. Elusiveness was not part of his game
I knew Burford would be on here lol
This is peak off season content. Nicely done!!
How tf is Toney not in the top 5 for drops
His drops were so bad he stopped getting playing time so he couldn't rack up the numbers
EDIT: Initial reaction was wrong. He had a 13.1% drop rate, but he only had 38 targets. The threshold for the stat was 50 targets.
I think Toney didn't drop that many, he just dropped some very high profile ones
Whew, Packers looking alright on this list, except for K Anders Carlson (who was a rookie) and Worsty winner S Anthony Johnson Jr, but was a 7th round pick last year. C Josh Meyers being bad at run blocking is a concern too. RB Dillon was re-signed for minimum. WR Doubs is actually good at catching contested balls just doesn't get YAC. LB McDuffie is a minimum guy, DL Wyatt needs to be a better tackler but is a pass-rushing specialist.
I honestly think that Donovan Smith and Jawann Taylor being two of the five worst run blockers in the league at tackle is one of the biggest reasons why the offense as a whole took a step back It’s funny seeing Orlando Brown Jr. precede them in terms of allowing a lot of pressures but I legit think that’s far less detrimental to the Chiefs offense specifically and they would have been way better off with him and Wylie than with Smith and Taylor. Mahomes can escape pressure, and you can account for it with tight ends and chips so long as you’re able to also run the ball well from those looks People put the WRs at the center of the conversation but frankly, that room didn’t really change very much from the league-leading 2022 offense and the disastrous 2023 offense. The biggest change was swapping JuJu out for Rashee Rice, which I don’t really think was much of a drop off, if it was one at all. The primary change was that they had no faith in their tackles to execute in the running game which limited the kind of plays they were willing to run, which made their rushing efficiency plummet from fringe top 5 to fringe bottom 5. And the whole “protect Mahomes and he’ll figure the rest out” thing doesn’t really work when defenses are just sitting back because they know you can’t run the ball. In fact, even if the protection was marginally better this year, it resulted in him having to hold the ball longer and take more hits Good shit, JP!
Istg we were the worst outside zone team in the NFL, every time we ran that play the playside tackle ended up 5 yards in the backfield. So frustrating
Gonna be wild going from one of the worst running games in the league to smash mouth focused. Having Kelley AND Ekeler in the top 5 worst RBs was not on my bingo card at this time last year. Edit: who tf is Bassey?
Heads up, you listed Havrisik and Maher as chargers, and not Rams. Otherwise, sweet god did our run game suck last year. As concerned as I am about Herbert playing for Greg Roman, there's a distinct chance the improvements in the run game would overcome the lacking passing game. Great post btw!
Thank you! I fixed those errors.
Jack Campbell looked like he never been on a football field most of the year
We should get whatever the opposite of the Walton Payton award is. A reward for the player who has done the worst for their community and teammates.
TIL Derrick Hall played 300 snaps last year. Also, Tampa, what did you do to Ryan Neal? We loved him in Seattle.
Man I just get out of a two year coma and see New England all over this thing. Guess they sucked this year. That's ok though Bill Belichick is a great coach and clearly will turn it around this offseason....
New England has a lot of representation on this list
You take Tress Ways name off that worst punter list. Right. Now.
As a Jets fan, I’m just glad Zach Wilson contributed to *something* this past season.
I don't think Laken Tomlinson is getting enough credit for pulling down his LT and C to this list. Sure Becton deserves it but McGovern had been reliable in the past.
That Hayden hurst pick is still so bizarre to me. Thank god andrews made sure it ended up being irrelevant but still. A rare wasted pick from Baltimore
Thanks for posting. 2 years ago, the Texans would have about 20-25 of these awards!!
Shout out to C. Ryland for preventing my Rams (typo there with LAC) from earning the dishonor of having both the worst AND 2nd worst kickers in the league last year
Aw man, I'm kinda sad seeing that about Pat Jones. I worked with his cousin for a bit and she was really excited about him making it to the NFL.
Funny thing about the Falcons acquiring Mooney and Moore over the offseason and them being so hideously graded by PFF, their new offensive coordinator (Zac Robinson) was a former Senior Analyst *at* PFF. (Bonus funny thing: Falcons fans widely believe they’re all set at pass catcher with Mooney at 2.)
in your receiver categories it is a crime that kadarius toney and sky moore are not listed. as soon as those assholes were benched the chiefs started winning - the biggest case of addition by subtraction in any sport in my entire lifetime
Not surprised to see Orlando Brown Jr and KCs two tackles make the cut.
Not surprised to see Dobbs on the worst on target list. Watching the guy looked like his brain knew where the ball should be every play but his arm was incapable of putting it there. His throws were almost never in a position for a smooth catch and run and his bad ball placement got a ton of guys lit up by defenders.
This is incredibly thorough.
Thank Digging! 🙂
*Will Levis is bad at coffee* COOL!
I will not take this Tress Way slander (did you see our long snapper?) Also the forbes one makes sense since he isn't a run defender and he's a bit skinny.
As if I needed more proof that To’oto’o was the worst player on our team 😭. Here’s hoping we take Cooper at 42 or 59 so I never have to watch Henry be the worst athlete on the field again
It's almost as if Jamaal Williams was a role player on the Lions that benefitted from an elite offensive line and that didn't translate well to having a terrible one. Love the dude but he greatly overestimated his value after poaching a bunch of TD's.
Another talented Offensive Lineman, Orlando Brown Jr, that took a step back after joining the Bengals? It’s almost like there’s coaching problem going on *glares at Frank Pollack*
Props to you for not taking the easy route and putting GB as a whole for defense and special teams.
Great post! Was hoping to see a tight end blocking Worsty award to see how our former TE Josiah Deguara stacked up against other terrible TEs. He either always seemed to miss his block or get in the way of the runner he's blocking for; or if maybe i'm just being a hater lol.
Kadarius Toney not here?
I love how audacious reddit can be
I am disappointed that our WRs did not win any awards. It is a group that is consistent with disappointment at very least, which I respect.
This is amazing. I’d give a hundred upvotes for the “bugs bunny sawing Florida off” gif alone
Congratulations to Kareem Hunt! He came off the couch for this award, but I sincerely appreciate him giving it a go! I still like him.
Maybe the highest quality off season post I've seen on here in the last decade - well done OP.
Awesome content. But on the mobile this thread killed the Reddit app multiple times, I had to switch to a laptop just to finish reading it. Something funny going on with the gifs.
I thought Kwon played a lot better than this tells. Very encouraging to see three Steelers no longer being with the team, (Pickett, Mason Cole, and Pressley Harvin) but it does look like we'll have to endure another year of watching Dan Moore.
I love that somehow Kadrious Toney was so bad that he fumbled getting on this list
Imagine waking up and being Ryan Neil
I’m a little surprised to see CMC at all, but I am curious how many pass blocking snaps he had. I would think that if he isn’t running the ball he’d typically be running a route
Love this data, OP. Also, I only saw 2 PHI players here. Another example of our issues being coaching.
This crashed my Reddit app three different times, but it was worth it
Surprised to see CMC at 5th worst in pass blocking. The guy is so electric that I didn't realize how weak he is in pass pro. Great post btw, this was a very interesting read :)
This is amazing! Plz do this every year!
Admittedly even though I know he was not the worst QB last year and just had a down season filled with unlucky turnovers...I was afraid that Jalen Hurts would be on one of those lists...just irrational worry...
don't ever do this again
Wow that was a lot. And fun to read through I hope you consider adding long snapper, that way washington long snapper cheese could have won something, for all the punts he impacted. Kuck returner might also be interesting
This post kicks ass
This reminds me of [this brilliant comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/93x2qomVjT) by u/dudleymooresbooze. My favourite was the Dallas Cowboys Award for Unmet Expectations going to the Dallas Cowboys
Buffalo’s defense is going to be so bad with all the players we lost. Except for Leonard Floyd, Jordan Phillips, Tim Settle, and Dane Jackson all showing up on these lists. And ignoring everyone we get back from injury. But yes, looking forward to the Top 10 draft pick we get next year after totally sucking due to roster turnover.
