Sunday's #14
Since skipped, I offer my nominee for the worst QB in Saints history

Karl Sweetan, 1968

78 attempts 27 completions for a reverse-Brees completion rate of 34.6%, but yes he did throw 1 TD pass!, unfortunately 9 INTs make for a 11.5% int rate, the guy even started 3 games. Of course none won but did tie 1

To top it off he wasn't only bad but a scumbag as well. He died in 2000 at age 57. The focus of his obituary was a scandal in which he was trying to sell his Rams playbook to the Saints in 1972.

#12 "The Quiet Storm", Marques Colston
In the 2006 NFL Draft the Saints selected Colston out of Hofstra in the 7th round and the 252nd overall pick. Originally it looked as if Colston wouldn't make the team b/c he couldn't catch a pass early on during OTA's. Eventually, he settled in quite nicely in showing great promise in pre-season games and helped lead to Coach Payton's decision to trade Donte' Stallworth to the Eagles. He finished his rookie season with 70 catches, 1,038 yards, and 8 touchdowns. His career totals to date are 449 catches, 6,240 yards, and 48 touchdowns. Not too shabby for a 7th round draft pick.
