Bryan Bulaga Jersey , Dan Marino and Joe Namath are tied for second with 28, and Drew Brees and Peyton Manning are tied for fourth with 27.It might seem surprising that great quarterbacks threw the most pick-sixes, but it shouldn’t be. Bad quarterbacks get benched long before they have a chance to throw two dozen pick-sixes. You have to be great to play long enough to get that record.

Everyone else in the Top 5 in attempts has thrown more than twice as many pick-sixes as Brady.Throwing a lot of pick-sixes doesn’t make a quarterback bad. But throwing few of them is undeniably good. The pick-six is the worst play a quarterback can make, and Rodgers and Brady have avoided them like no one else. Matt LaFleur has his guy.More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinPackers post-Super Bowl 2019 mock draft roundupGreen Bay Packers 2019 impending free agents primerAaron Rodgers' offseason to feature golf, not knee surgeryPhotos of the Week: 1/27/19 – 2/2/19Top Tweets: Wisconsin athletes survive 2019 polar vortexThe Green Bay Packers hired Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator, the team officially announced Wednesday morning.Hackett spent the majority of the last four seasons in Jacksonville, serving as quarterbacks coach (2015-16) and offensive coordinator (Week 9 of 2016 – Week 12 of 2018).
