Putridity Poll: J.T. O'Sullivan vs. Ryan Fitzpatrick in Battle of the Foul QBs


It isn't an easy ride to the life of cheerleaders, Gatorade showers and making it rain. Sometimes, you always seem to be sacked out on the turf, wondering where it all went wrong. FanHouse's Putridity Poll compares two figures that have become the bane of the NFL and lets you vote on which one is more putrid. Think of it as the polar opposite of a Power Poll.

Well, what do we have here? Bengals stand-in Ryan Fitzpatrick has averaged a pathetic 4.6 yards on 103 passes to rank dead last in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least 100 throws. John Thomas O'Sullivan is coming off a head-shakingly horrible game where he was sacked six times and fumbled four times.

While stats may be one of the keys to deciding to putridity, they aren't the only factors that will help guide you to the right choice. After the jump, you must weigh each side of the patented 'Tale of the Taint' before casting your vote.

Alright, it's time to make the call. Choose wisely, FanHouse readers. For every winner of this loathsome distinction could wind up swallowed whole by The Nothing, never to be seen again. (Or they just might get a pink slip, who knows?)
