Captain Checkdown: The quarterbacks who most and least rely on checkdown passes

Checkdown comparisons are apples and oranges. I'd rather have the checkdown than an interception. Of course it becomes obvious when a QB becomes a chicken. Happy feet, erratic throws etc. When Reggie left they asked Payton what woud he miss the most and Payton said, the 30 yards on a check down pass. Way too many POSITIVES about a check down to be negative about them, but I do acknowledge some QBs get frightened too soon and use them to the detriment of the Long game and NFL defenses catch on quick.
