If there is one thing the prequels were trying to make clear it's that the prequel era Jedis were arrogant assholes. They had become so prideful that they were blind to any criticisms or problems within the Order, they believed they had all the answers. This is in addition to their cold and detached demeanor which they wore like a badge of honor. Still, there are degrees to how bad the prequel era Jedis were from Obi-Wan who while still bought into the Order nonsense still questioned the decisions of the council and retained a certain level of close attachment to his friends and loved ones.
Yet, to me the complete opposite end of the spectrum, and I believe the worst Jedi in the Order, was Mace Windu. No one else embodies all the problems of the prequel Jedi like Mace Windu. This dude made cold and detached an art form. If you told him his best friend died (which is funny because he'd first have to have a friend) he'd give you the same reaction as if you'd told him someone at the last piece of cake. He was openly mistrustful, even of his fellow Jedi such as Anakin. He never seemed to give two shits about the lives of the Clones and treated them like fodder. And his last act is an attempt to break the Jedi Code to unilaterally execute an unarmed Palpatine without a trial based on his assessment of the political situation.
While others on the Council like Yoda or Plo-Koon began to see what was wrong with the Order, Mace Windu never questioned anything about the Order and bought full stop into Jedi righteousness. I think the lowest moment is when he
Is there a Jedi worse than him in terms of overall attitude and ideals of the Jedi Order? And I mean specifically Jedi, if they turned to the Dark Side then they don't count.
"The true legacy of the Jedi is failure, hypocrisy and hubris," all of that is seen in this dude.

tries to bullshit some excuse after accusing Ahsoka of being a traitor and then that all turning out to be false. Dude is all like, "oh no, this was all just part of your trial. You see, it's all part of the plan." Even for Ahsoka that's too much of a reach and she tells them to buzz off.
