SI.com: First-Round QB Picks Who Were Busts

Goofy list. Mostly QBs, drafted by crap-o teams. I guess this guy had to write something so that he got a paycheck next week... :nana:

 

 

Reminds me of Prisco's run-down of the '07 draft today. He called #2 pick RB Kenny Irons a bust. Dumb choice by CIN, for sure - they had a very useful Rudi Johnson, and hopes for another dumb pick - the oft-injured #1 pick RB Chris Perry.

 

Irons made a cut and tore up his knee ten minutes into his 1st preseason game and never was on the field again. They kept him for a year, then gave him an injury settlement.

 

Shades of Ki-Jana Carter, years ago. They bypassed Tony Boselli for Carter. Too bad about Carter. He ended up playing a bit...without the recurrent injuries, he would have been a big noise. Ran hard, great blocker, receiver, and had that special nose for getting into the EZ.

i find it interesting that Bill Walsh called Rick Mirer the "second coming of Joe Montana" wasn't Walsh the one who endorsed Edwards? i could be mistaken. Mirer is number eight of the fifteen first round busts in the article.

He will be in jail within 5 years.

Why would you say that? He has never been involved in off the field issues. What are you making that judgement on? Sounds like you are stereotyping him based on his race. If your racist take your racist crap somewhere else.

 

Most ignorant comment I have seen this week.

No way does David Carr belong that early in the list. He at least had an NFL career.

Russell made his name by being huge, throwing the ball a mile and looking good against ND's JV defense in the Sugar Bowl. He was a very good college QB, but he was barely "college accurate" let alone "NFL accurate."

 

He never really had much of a chance in Oakland, but why anyone had high expectations for this guy is beyond me...

What in the world is this based on? Or you just throwing sterotypes out there? Because Russell has never been in trouble. He was a terrible #1 pick but don't jsut going throwing crap around.

 

What he said. :nana:

 

 

We cant even draft busts right to get any credit. :wallbash:

Al Davis drafts elite athletes he hopes will turn into football players. Successful teams draft football players.
