This is what multi billionaire individuals do. It's the "I'm God, I'm indestructible" type of mentality which is typical of people this successful. When I saw that interview he gave on deflate gate and demanded an apology for Tom and Bill, I really got this impression. When Colts owner Jim Irsay had the DUI and drugs found in his car and all that, he was given a medium sized suspension 4 or 6 games I think. That will probably be the fate of Robert Kraft. We could probably add him to that "Biggest Douche" poll.

84. Steve Bartkowski (Atlanta Falcons 1975-1985, Los Angeles Rams 1986) 5th Place Falcons QB Career Record 59-67-0 (46.83%) 82nd out of 102 Record in Games with Good Defense 45-18-0 (71.43%) 75th out of 102 Record in Games with Bad Defense 14-49-0 (22.22%) 82nd out of 102 Percentage of Games with Good Defense 63/126 (50.00%) 64th (T) out of 102 (-20) Wins above Average Starter in a 16 Game Season (-0.413) The man, the myth, the legend. Steve Bartkowski was certainly 1 of these things for Falcons fans in the 70's and 80's. Another first overall pick, which is a common trend at this point, QB is the position most likely to be taken at that spot after all, he was drafted ahead of hall of famers like Randy White and Walter Payton. Expected to be the saviour of the franchise early on he was.... not to say the least. He suffered a knee injury in his second season (something of a common trend in his long career), and was benched in his third while the Gritz Blitz was doing its thing. It took until his 6th season in 1980 to finally throw for more touchdowns than interceptions, and he actually gave the Falcons a fair shot to win the NFC that year, but when it mattered the most, his defense let him down in his playoff attempt. The Falcons never really had another opportunity to make the postseason, (sneaking into the 16 team race in 1982 at 5-4 but being quickly dispatched by the Vikings), as Bartkowski wasted most of his defense's good years being hurt, or terrible, or out partying. He did get his career together in the second half, but by that time his defense had folded. He had very efficient seasons in his last two years in Atlanta, but went 3-13 in those seasons, ended up being released, and finished his career with the Rams as part of a QB battery with the rookie Jim Everett and the bridge QB Steve Dils (Yes, that's his name). His defenses were exactly average for his career, but as you can see by this list, he skews below average for long term starters overall. What that means is that typically QB's who have long careers have strong defenses to thank for that. Although that doesn't necessarily mean there is a correlation, but it's something to consider at least. If Bartowski had found his groove earlier in his career, perhaps he would have been a threat for the top 50 on this list, but his skills took a long time to polish and that puts him strictly in the average / below average category he finds himself in now.
