In this video, Archie Manning is described as the “best of the worst” in contrast to the “best of the best.” He’s also called a “lovable loser”.
Who does this make you think of? I think the popular answer is Ryan Fitzpatrick but I would also consider Larry Fitzgerald to be one, an extremely popular player on a historically unsuccessful team.
OK, maybe I’m misinterpreting the question. I was taking it as “best player on bad teams”?
