Seattle Seahawks. Kelly Stouffer. 12. player. 36. . 1988-1992

Finally, we start getting some meat on our Seahawks quarterbacks bones! Not a lot mind you. Yet. But at least we get some guys winning a few games. Kelly Stouffer played all four of his NFL season with the Seahawks. He almost – almost – started more than half the game in a season in 1992. He didn’t, though, as he started 7.

Over his four years, Stouffer managed to find an open defensive back 19 times. Crazy good accuracy if you happen to play for the team Seattle was playing. Stouffer threw for 7 touchdowns so take that, Seahawk opponents!

But Stouffer’s last year in Seattle was 1992 when he took the Gelbaugh-like style and made it his own. He was sacked 26 times in 190 pass attempts. But a quarterback is rated on how many games they win and Stouffer managed two of them in 1992 after not winning any since 1988. And you thought you were having a productive day at work.

Stouffer finished his Seattle career 5-11 as a starter which is almost 16 games of one regular season. If that were the case, Stouffer would have finished said year with a 54.5 quarterback rating. Still, Stouffer ranks 12th all-time in Seattle history in passing yards with 2,333.
