bufffan031 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just wondering who everyone thinks is the bigger bust. It's hard to say. I would say because Russell was a number one overall pick and the raiders could have taken anyone and passed on Calvin Johnson that he was the bigger bust. The Chargers were gonna take whoever the Colts didn't take and Leaf was labeled as a can't miss prospect so u can't really blame them at the time. What does everyone think? Just thought it would be a fun question to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spillnation Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Jamarcus without a doubt. The Raiders are still recovering. He was supposed to be the next big thing and was already a man made of myths before he touched the field. I can remember hearing stories about him throwing 80 yards down the field taking a knee. I'm still surprised no-one was desperate enough to give him another shot. Chasing intangibles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Grid Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Jamarcus. 1- because he went number 1, as opposed to being the fallback option after manning went one. 2- because Leaf was recognized at the time he was drafted as a boom - bust prospect. Jamarcus was sold as pretty much a sure thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Russell--but he was more predictable as a bust. Flash in the pan at LSU. One decent season. But he turned out to be another crappy SEC QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I wish a team would take another shot on JaMarcus. I remember reading during the off season that he's been working out and is in decent shape. He also hasn't been sippin on sizzurp. It would be a great story of redemption. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2013-06-08/jamarcus-russell-chicago-bears-workout-not-likely-to-sign-raiders-2007-bust-2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
