If Obama were an NFL quarterback, which one would he be?

[gunslingerdick]

Five Thirty Eight did a little piece on this. It's got some decent rationale and some pretty funny comments. Here's my favorite:

benm: "I’d compare him to the ultimate flashy-but-team-killing QB: Jeff George."

Ouch.

Easy. Ryan Leaf.

Easy. Ryan Leaf.

Good suggestion. Because like Leaf, Obama is just an unlikable dick.

But he also shares some qualities with these quarterbacks:

JaMarcus Russell - lazy
Rick Mirer - from the Chicago area and highly regarded before having to perform
Akili Smith - great measurables but simply couldn't get the job done
Heath Shuler - somehow, stuck around a lot longer than most thought he could
Joey Harrington - terrible rating

Montana, baby. Always cool under pressure, always kicking the Republicans' -- I mean the other team's -- butt.

That qb for the redskins that ended his career head butting a wall after a td.

Gary Keithley- Once posted a total QB passer rating of "0" in consecutive games.
Obama has a total presidential competency rating of "0" in two consecutive terms.

Who ever is the worse put Veto Obama behind him.

I will settle this. That flake could not be a QB period. However he could start for ISIS.

But only for their JV team.
