Lori Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Carter and Emtman both had injury problems. WTF? So did Patulski -- he blew out his knee the year after Buffalo traded him. Injuries apparently weren't taken into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 So did Patulski -- he blew out his knee the year after Buffalo traded him. Injuries apparently weren't taken into account. It may be splitting hairs, but I think of Patulski as a bust before he got traded. Carter, on the other hand, blew out his knees twice before ever really even getting under way. He didn't do much for the Bengals either way, but I'm not sure "bust" is the right term. Horrible luck or snake bit franchise seems more apt. Carter actually did play later on, rusty bolts in his knees and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I think the biggest #1 bust of all time is Chris Mortensen, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Bo Jackson, as for picking him No. 1, or for not being able to sign him? The two are different, as Bo was not a bust. In my opinion if you draft a player & he NEVER plays for you that is a BUST of a pick. The Bucs didn't even get a 6th or 7th rounder for him.

The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yeah, but at least the Cousineau trade brought Buffalo the pick they used on Jim Kelly... However the Bills didnt even pick Kelly with their first pick. The drafted Hunter 12 overall then Kelly fourteenth overall, then he turned around and traded Hunter for Ferragamo.

The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Carter and Emtman both had injury problems. WTF? Etman was actually pretty good when healthy, didnt the colts draft Quentin Coryatt in the first round as well that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they drafted Tony Hunter with their own pick, then used Cleveland's #1 on Kelly. Thanks, Mr. Modell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Walt Patulski now does speeches for groups. A couple of days ago one of my co-workers stopped my my desk & told me he had attended a speech by a former Bill-Walt Patulski. I told him that Patulski is more successful in the business world than he was as a Bill.Here's a link to Walt Patulski's Touchdown To Success website: http://www.waltpatulski.com/ He could play in college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
