There's another franchise that has the honor, though, because it's all self-inflicted and the team is often decent, with terrible quarterback play.

Leading Passer for the season:

2008 - Derek Anderson
2009 - Brady Quinn (first-round pick in 2007)
2010 - Colt McCoy (third-round pick in 2010)
2011 - McCoy (the only two-time contestant on this decade-long game show)
2012 - Brandon Weeden (first-round pick in 2012)
2013 - Jason Campbell
2014 - Brian Hoyer (Johnny "Football" Manziel was their first-round pick in 2014)
2015 - Josh McCown (one of the eleven teams that employed him over a long career)
2016 - Cody Kessler (third-round pick in 2016)
2017 - DeShone Kizer (second-round pick in 2017, this led to the second 0-16 season in NFL history)

Record over these ten seasons: 38-122. Kizer has the distinction of most career quarterback starts (15) in modern history without ever winning a game.

2018 - Baker Mayfield (first overall pick in 2018)

Hey, stability! A playoff appearance in his third year and what looked like a breakout. But he got hurt and management turned on him like he wrecked his shoulder and tried to play through it just to spite them. Which meant Jacoby Brissett and another guy who may or may not make an impact this year.

But Lions... one playoff victory in the last 65 seasons. And Cardinals... last championship was in 1947 - two franchise moves removed from today.

At least the Cardinals have had some good teams, and even made a Super Bowl appearance with Kurt Warner. It's definitely between Detroit and Cleveland for the long-suffering crown.
