The list of Arizona Cardinals<\/a> quarterbacks<\/a> who have taken snaps throughout franchise history isn't a particularly inspiring one even if the man sitting atop the pack put together a sterling career \u2014 albeit for multiple NFL<\/a> organizations. From there, the drop-off can only be classified as drastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, dating back to 1950, when Curly Lambeau coached the Chicago-based Cardinals, the squad has produced only 13 Pro Bowl seasons at the quarterback position, and those honors went to just eight different signal-callers. On average, that's about one nod every six campaigns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That does give Kyler Murray a chance to move up the rankings as his career progresses \u2014 assuming he remains with the Cardinals, which is far from guaranteed after a tumultuous period<\/a> followed his early success. It also means the franchise leaderboard is checkered with more misses than hits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the Total Yards Added (TYA) metric I developed for QB Math<\/a>, which evaluates quarterbacks' success relative to league average in four facets of the game \u2014 rushing, passing, sack avoidance, and fumble avoidance \u2014\u00a0we're highlighting each and every one of the 79 Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks with at least one qualified game for the organization since 1950. These rankings of career production will be updated continuously and are accurate heading into Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that this is about career production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing in more games usually means moving further away from the league-average score of zero, which is why Jake Plummer \u2014 objectively not the least-talented of the Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks \u2014 falls all the way to the bottom of the pack despite having a per-game output far superior to other low finishers such as John Skelton, Josh Rosen, and Ryan Lindley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
