Struggle's pick = statistically the biggest chokejob in NFL history

[Clipper Nation]

In terms of one play swinging a team’s chances of winning the Super Bowl, the second-down interception was probably the most important in the history of the NFL. Burke’s Advanced Football Analytics model suggested after the game that the Patriots’ chances of winning jumped from 12 percent before the interception to 99 percent afterward, for a swing of 87 percentage points. It’s difficult for one play in any context to shift things that dramatically.

The Mike Jones tackle of Kevin Dyson at the 1-yard line in Super Bowl XXXIV came to mind, but that was a 23-16 game; even if Dyson had gotten in, Tennessee’s chances of winning would have risen only to about 50 percent, since the two teams would have gone to overtime (or Tennessee would have attempted a two-pointer, which would also have put its chances of winning near 50 percent). The most meaningful play before this one was probably Scott Norwood’s missed 47-yard field goal in a 20-19 game at the end of Super Bowl XXV, but there’s no way he had an 87 percent chance of making the game-winning field goal to begin with, so even reducing Buffalo’s chances to zero wouldn’t match Wilson’s interception.

Fun fact: the Chargers' coach at the time (Sid Gillman) challenged the NFL champion Bears to what would have been the first Super Bowl. The Bears were too scared to play us... their loss.

Chargers: 1

holy you're right. Welp....

[BatManu20]

Somewhat agree. But, also have to give credit to Butler. That really was a great play he made on the ball tbh.

Hands down biggest choke of all time. Way to go Wilson in your first 3 years you managed to ride your team to a ring and then cost your team one as well.

[Avante]

Amazing!

[Avante]

I don't why Avante says Wilson had the best three years in NFL history.. that's a lie.

Well let's see...

Rookie td record
only second year QB to post two 100 passer rating seasons
highest comp % for a third year QB
most starts
most wins
most GWD since he came in the league
most playoff success
Superbowl win in second year
another Superbowl in his third season
only QB ever to throw for 300, rush for a 100 in a game


So who did it better?

Has already won more SB's in two seasons than...

Chargers
Browns
Jags
Lions
ans
Vikings
Bills
Panthers
Falcons
Eagles
Cards
Bengals

have in franchise history

He's won more SB's than HOF QB's......

Johnny U
Dan Marino
Sonny Jurgenson
Warren Moon
Jim Kelly
Fran Tarkenton
Dan Fouts

and current QB's...

Cam Newton
Tony Romo
Matt Ryan
Colin Kaerpernick
RGIII
Andrew Luck
Carson Palmer
Philip Rivers
Alex Smith
Andy Dalton
Matt Stafford

And....he's just 26 years old.

The best athlete playing QB today.

As we can see if I talk about him he's all anyone else will talk about, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
