No. 6: Dave Krieg – Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions

Regular Season Record: 98-77
Postseason Record: 3-6

Krieg was the guy who was going to put the Seahawks on the NFL map, and during the regular season, he did just that.

Finishing his career with 38,147 yards and 261 touchdowns, Krieg was the workingman’s quarterback. Tough, gritty and unconventional in many ways. In 12 seasons with the Seahawks, he compiled an unprecedented 70-49 record and let Seattle to the playoffs in four seasons.

But like all the others on this list, his postseason success was minimal, and he couldn’t get out of his own way in several playoff games. He had a 60 percent completion clip in the regular season that dipped to 51 percent in the playoffs, and found his playoff games with KC and Detroit to be even worse.
