NFL quarterbacks who have posted a passer rating of zero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the National Football League, the lowest official passer rating that a quarterback can achieve is 0.0, commonly called a Blutarsky, after John Belushi's character in National Lampoon's Animal House, who posted a 0.00 grade point average. An unknown number of Blutarskies have been thrown in NFL history, one of which occurred in the Super Bowl. This is a list-in-progress of those quarterbacks:
