BRYAN KNOWLES grew up watching Joe Montana and Steve Young ply their trade at quarterback, so he has somewhat overly-inflated expectations of how quarterbacks should perform. This has certainly done him no favors over the past decade or so of watching the San Francisco 49ers. A graduate of UC Davis and San Jose State University, he has opted to eschew all the useful advice those august institutions have supplied him with and become a sportswriter instead. He’s been published at Bleacher Report and Fansided, and currently lives in Chicago with a wife who for some reason puts up with him.

Our anti-dynasty rankings continue! We weigh in on the battle of terrible Houston teams, the worst owner in NFL history, the most fun team ever, and the 1968 version of Kendall Hinton.
Our anti-dynasty rankings continue! Come learn about the worst coach in Jets history (no, not that one), players shunning the NFL for other leagues, the St. Louis relocation blues, and the 1920s NFL Barry Horowitzes.
