Comparing OP's list with the Whitley figures, Whitley has four of those listed as above average, and some more not rated at all, presumably because they've not ridden enough.

In my view, the most important attributes of a jockey are pace judgement, tactics, balance and timing in a finish. It is the horse that needs the strength although a lazy horse does need a strong jockey.

Swad needs to watch Hollie winning on Glen Shiel in the Group 1 at Ascot last October, if there was a stronger ride on the Flat last year I must have missed it.

I'm not saying these are the "worst" , if only because the ratings may say otherwise, and it's a subjective list, but let's just say they don't exactly fill me with confidence! In no particular order:
Tony Hamilton Tom Eaves Liam Keniry Josephine Gordon Tom Queally James Sullivan Shane Kelly

Tiger has a point, I reckon everyone has jockeys/trainers who as a rule, either beat them when laid or are beaten when backed. It doesnt follow that they are necessarily bad. But it's conspicuous how some names keep coming up. But once again, how can anybody look at Luke Morris and say his style is not at the very least unbalancing horses? Surely that's objective.

probably take issue with 1 name there who I have as a par rider that I would trust on steering jobs but the 7 other doesn't matter what they're riding immediate line through for me

steerforth, I agree, but Sir Mark Prescott seems to disagree, Morris has a 30% strike rate for him on his 3 year olds in Handicaps, strangely though, if you layed every other one he ever rides for Sir Mark you would be very happy.

Kelly, Mulrennan both very good jockeys but sadly only when they want to be, if it was on pure ability these 2 would of made the top10 list.
Morris cant be on the worst 10 list just purely due to his good John Wayne impression close home, windmill whipping motion, yeeeeha
