Carr is a fantastic example of how easily a talented quarterback can be destroyed in the NFL find no fault of his own. The enormous star talent quarterbacks in NFL history we're much more dependent on the coaching and team building personnel around them then their pure talent. It's really amazing how little talent has to do with success of the quarterback position, and how much of it is the aforementioned coaching and situation as well as a player's mental fortitude and leadership ability
It wasn't just who the Bengals passed on to draft Akili Smith. The Saints offered them their entire 1999 draft plus two future first rounders so they could move up and draft Ricky Williams. The Bengals turned it down because they legitimately thought Akili Smith was a generational talent.
Especially when you think about who the Packers could have gotten. Barry or Dion Sanders, their choice! Or, of course, the unblockable Derrick Thomas also might have enjoyed a HOF career in green and yellow! That is a HARD pill to swallow.
Is that why Houston had their team total sacks allowed cut in half the year Carr left with the same o-line while Carr doubled the sack rate of 47 year old Vinny Testaverde on the 07 Panthers? Carr was responsible for his own sacks because he didn't put in the time needed to play QB in the NFL. He even told Derek to put in more time for game prep than he did when Derek was drafted.
@@joeraguso5376 You are full of it, David was one of the hardest working dedicated young QB's in the NFL with twice the talent of his younger brother he was also a mobile QB. Stop the BS you look the fool.
@@peterblood1486 Is that why David told Derek not to take his career for granted like he did when Derek was drafted? But good on you for defending the player that asked to do all his film study at home instead of in the team facility so he could just not do it.
Curtis Enis is hands down the biggest bust for the Bears. 5th overall pick, he was considered one of the best 3 players in the draft. Held out for a bigger contract, then played 9 games his rookie year and tore his ACL. By his 3rd year, he was in Cleveland as a FB and out of the league the next.
At least he had a knee injury (plus them constantly changing the playing weight they wanted him at also didn’t help). David Terrell just wanted the starting lineup just handed to him. Didn’t wanna work for shit.
There is no way you didn’t choose Tony Mandarich for Green Bay’s biggest bust. He was called “The Greastest Offensive Lineman Prospect of All Time” and was the number two pick.
Jacksonville has quite the draft busts history with wide receivers, along with Soward they have Matt Jones and Justin Blackmon, two players with monstrous talent who quickly ran off the tracks
@@souldeep808 in the bozs defense, he was a supplemental pick. Those picks r always gutsy. U can’t miss ur main draft. U miss that, ur behind the 8 ball. Boz, they could’ve just said no during the supplemental draft, but they thought he was worth the risk. I would’ve said Aaron curry, cause he was a 4th overall lb, n he failed miserably. But that’s just my pick
Steelers passed on Dan Marino for Gabriel Rivera in 83. Gabe only played 6 games before paralyzing himself while driving drunk. He only had 2 sacks. While Dan Marino had a hall of fame career. Id say he’s more of a bust than Devin Bush.
Miami did draft a QB in the Ted Ginn draft. John Beck was taken at #40 by Miami. Here is a list of all the other QBs taken after Ginn: Brady Quinn, Kevin Kolb, John Beck, Trent Edwards, Drew Stanton, Isaiah Stanback, Jeff Rowe, Troy Smith, Tyler Thigpen, Jordan Palmer. As you can see......it was slim pickins on the Qb front in "07
I'll have to disagree with Jake Locker being the Titans biggest draft bust. Sure, he didn't live up to expectations. however, he did last longer and did contribute more to the Titans organization than my selection as Tennessee's biggest draft bust. In my opinion, the biggest draft bust in Titan's history (quite possibly, the biggest draft bust in NFL history) goes to Right Tackle Isaiah Wilson out of Georgia. Drafted by the Titans 30th overall in 2020. Along with in inability of obeying COVID restrictions by sneaking out of training camp to attend a party at a nearby university. Isaiah only played 4 snaps in the NFL for the Titans before being traded off to the Miami Dolphins (who released him days later) for a late 7th round pick.
For the Colts, I think that Art Schlichter (1982 first-round pick) was a way bigger bust than George. Art gambled his way out of the NFL in a few years.
For the Browns it shouldn't be a player, it should be picking at 22 in the draft. That's right. I'm saying it. Every pick at #22 for the Browns has been a bust.
Hold on. Didn’t the Browns draft Johnny Manziel? Only Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell are even close to the same level of bust. And Josh Rosen was by far a worse bust than Matt Lienhart. I’ll end with Tony Mandarich/Eddie Lacey with the Packers and Joey Harrington with the Lions. Maybe the list should’ve been “Top 5 Biggest Draft Busts for Each NFL Team.”
I feel like Leinart had way higher expectations than Rosen, maybe it was just me but I knew that dude was going to suck before they even picked him. Obviously outliers like Leaf/Russell are some of the biggest busts ever in history, certain teams just dont draft that bad. Joey Harrington had a much better career than Andre Ware, but its close on that one.
Recent Patriots fans (bandwagon hoppers) forget how dreadful their are drafts of the late 80s early 90s were. Kenneth Sims #1 overall was just one example, as they also took Irving fryer with the #1 pick, who became a star from Miami in Philadelphia but underperformed in New England and was a cancer in the locker room. Other first-round busts ncluded wide receiver Hart Lee Dykes (more of an incredible disappointment then straight up bust) running back Reggie Dupard and guard Eugene Chung, all the while failing to capitalize on they're losing records. It wasn't until a 3 stretch where they drafted Drew Bledsoe (#1 overall) Willie McGinnist, Ty Law, Curtis Martin, Chris Slade and Troy Brown that the organization finally achieved relevance.
Josh rosen definitely a bigger bust 10th overall 5 star number 1 prospect coming out of highschool. Some scouts had him as the best qb of the draft and was traded after his rookie year atleast leinert played most of his rookie deal out
Charles Rogers was pretty bad too 1st season: Injured early on 2nd season: injured early on 3rd season: missed several games due to positve drug test leading to suspension Training camp for 4th season: Doesn't show up because he's (in his words) good enough so he doesn't need training camp. He was then let go
Technically Bo Jackson was the biggest draft bust for the Buccs. He was drafted number one overall and never signed with the team opting to reenter the draft the following season.
Atlanta - andre bruce Arizona - josh rosen Detroit take your pick 1. Mike Williams 2. Charles rogders 3. Joey Harrington 4. Eric ebron 5. Jeff okudah All worse then andre ware
Andre Ware failed on a playoff team with Barry Sanders. Nobody else you said is close to him. Leinart over Rosen easily too. Leinart was a better prospect and failed on a team Kurt Warner took to a Super Bowl. Bruce has an argument for sure though.
I'm going to argue otherwise. When I think 'bust', the picture of that, to me, is someone who failed to perform despite having the opportunities to. While some might disagree, I wouldn't call someone a bust who suffered serious injuries that derailed their chance to be what they were hoped to be. Like, I wouldn't call RG3 a bust - his career was wrecked by an injury that clearly severely diminished his ability to play his game. Likewise, I would classify Underwood in the same vein. While his wasn't an injury per se, it was a health condition that precluded his ability to perform at the level he potentially could have. We'll never actually know if Underwood could have been good if he had been treated for his mental health issues rather than having them ignored and overlooked. (I know he played briefly for the Cowboys but he still wasn't getting proper treatment and his episodes caused him to drop back out.) It falls under the category of 'what might have been' to me. Conversely, Troy Williamson had the chances. He had the opportunities to prove himself worth it, and he failed, badly. That makes him a bona-fide bust in my eyes, and definitely one of the biggest in Vikings history.
@DoctorNovakaine i would argue that they made fully aware of his situation, to the point where they were warned by Nick Saban not to draft him. At which point he was with the team for all of a single day. Exactly one practice. This is not like Lewis Cine, where his leg went full Alex Smith, or the other 2005 draft first rounder Erasmus James, whose careers were derailed by injuries before they could get started, this is about on par with the Bucs drafting Bo Jackson. Yeah, Williamson was abysmal, but at least he saw the field and contributed. To me, he is on par with guys like Michael Bennett, Laquan Treadwell, Darrin Nelson, DJ Dozier, and Derrick Alexander.
@@dustingreene6923 I would argue otherwise. Reportedly, Saban said that Underwood did not have the 'mental acuity'. That is a FAR cry from 'psychologically unstable,' and does not accurately represent what was actually wrong with Underwood. And if Saban had actually made efforts to get Underwood the help he needed back then, maybe things would also have been different. And yes, I do put this on par with Lewis Cine. Mental health is health just as much as physical health, and if this had been treated properly, maybe he wouldn't have faltered at the first practice. I don't equate it to Bo Jackson, because Bo Jackson outright told Tampa he wouldn't play for them before he was drafted - Underwood never said any such thing. I know I didn't talk about this before, but now's a good a time as any: I also think draft order matters. Underwood was the 29th pick, and while you still have expectations for a first-round pick, with low picks you tend to be past the most 'sure' prospects, and expectations aren't necessarily as high. Williamson was 7th. When you're picking seventh, you expect that there are players within the top two of their prospect class still available (except QB potentially). When the expectations are that much higher, the failures sting that much harder. Williamson's failure hits on the same level as someone like Charles Rogers or Mike Williams, harder than the level of Treadwell or Jalen Reagor (both of whom are bona-fide busts in their own right). That's my case. I'll say, I fully understand that you might not be convinced. That's fine. This is a subject subject to subjectiveness, and reasonable people can disagree on what matters more. This would be my position. It's not saying Underwood was a great pick by any means, but mostly that I put failure by performance as higher up than failure by circumstance when it comes to the measure. There will surely be assessors who weight them differently.
@DoctorNovakaine I will say that your opinion is fair, and your case has been stated well - but I'd still put DJ Dozier and Darrin Nelson as worse draft picks when you consider how they directly lead to the Walker trade, and they could have just as easily been Marcus Allen or Amobi Okoye, under the assumption that we're omitting Underwood. Williamson is bad, no doubt, but I think his failure is overhyped in regards to other more impactful draft blunders - especially when considering the Red McCombs of it all.
Issue with both Underwood and Troy Williamson was it was a reach. Than a bust. Neither should have been drafted that round or at all. Denny Green didn’t understand draft value. Underwood is a UFA. Williamson was a front office attempt to appease loss of Moss. Cannot fabricate such a move. Common theme here is it occurred during the abysmal Red Macomb’s era.
The Texans o-line gave up half as many sacks the year Carr left than the year before. Meanwhile, Carr doubled the sack rate of a 47 year old Vinny Testaverde on the 07 Panthers. Carr was a lazy bum that got called out by his teammates for his lack of preparation. Those sacks were on him.
Jamarcus Russell became an overnight millionaire who didn't care. Ryan Leaf had major personality and substance abuse problems he seems to have overcome.
Matt Leinart was a great player in college, but he struggled in the pros and could never get back to the player he once was. I don’t why people wanna talk about Rae Carruth and he will forever be a convict felon, so that’s his own fault for ruined his career. Mitch Trubisky was alright in college, but he was never good enough to be a productive quarterback. Akili Smith also was good in college, but he totally sucked in the league and struggled with studying the playbook. Kadarius Toney was a huge joke in the league and he’s a free agent. R. Jay Soward was barely in the league when he played for the Jaguars. Ryan Leaf was definitely a major disappointment as a draft bust for clashing with players and coaches. Lawrence Phillips was a huge disappointment by his behavior problems and lack of maturity. Kyle Boller was never a great player to begin with, so he didn’t have a long career in the league. Former NFL player Mike Williams was a former offensive lineman who never adapted as a player who struggled with injuries and inconsistency. Is there anybody that I missed?
You picked McGuire over Brian Bozworth? WTF! You obviously don't know about the hype around that dude! He was easily the Seahawks biggest, most hyped out bust and 1 of the biggest the NFL has ever seen!!
Tebow has a career winning record. When he played he won. He took over a team with a losing record and got them to the playoffs. I ain’t saying he was great or belonged in a probowl but he wasn’t nearly as bad as you say
They call these quarterbacks draft busts but I think it’s more about going in and having someone who can teach an NFL system and giving them a good base to start with. It seems whenever the coach is a bit weak and there isn’t a good veteran for that first year of teaching.
Players are at fault for not putting in the work more often than coaches are at fault. David Carr for example was called out publicly by his teammates for the lack of work he put in, and the Texans immediately improved when he left. He even told Derek to take the NFL seriously and not to take it for granted like he did.
I can't believe I'm the first Jet fan to point out Blair Thomas was not the worst pick that distinction goes to OLB/DE superstar pass rusher Vern Gholston from Ohio State. Vern was drafted to sack the QB and he ended his career tied with me with zero career sacks.
Trey Lance was easily the Niners biggest bust when taken into account just how much they gave up to get him. After that I'd say AJ Jenkins who was traded after his rookie season.
My takes: Bears ~ Trubisky was a bad pick but he was far from the worst by the Bears who've had some real doozies. Gabe Carimi, Kevin White, Curtis Enis were all worse. And if you want to go with a 1st round QB Cade McNown was a thousand times worst than Mitch. Packers ~ I don't care how bad Harrell was he was not nearly as big a bust as Tony Mandarich, especially when you look at that draft and see the next 3 players all are Hall of Famers - meanwhile Tony started 31 total games for GB before they cut him. Jags ~ I get picking Soward due to his limited play but Blackmon was selected 5th overall at the same position and only played 7 more games. Bigger bust IMO. Titans ~ Isaiah Wilson played 2 total snaps for Tennessee and was out of the league. He is far and away the biggest draft bust for that franchise.
The Indy Colts were the first team I watched play football and since everyone in Dallas loved the Cowboys I wanted to be different and became a Colts fan. It was some difficult times until Peyton Manning came along and I still remember their miracle year in 1994 when they almost made the super bowl.
I've been a fan of Da Bears for more than 60 years and they have ALWAYS had issues at QB in that time. Bob Avellini, Vince Evans, Bobby Douglass, Mike Tomczak, Cade McNown, Mitch Trubisky, Justin Fields, and on and on. Hardly any names worth remembering. Cheers....
You could say for every bad QB the Bears drafted, they drafted great running backs (except for ennis) and middle linebackers. Don't forget to add Harbaugh to your list. When it comes to QBs, I did like Evans, McMahon, Kramer, Cutler and i do love Caleb now. I also did like Fields when the Bears Had Montgomery/Herbert running the ball with him.
Cade McNown or Curtis Enis not Mitchell Trubisky are the clear biggest busts for the bears. Trey Lance Not Rasuan Woods is the clear biggest bust for the 49ers. Steve Emtman or Trev Alberts were the biggest busts for the Colts not Jeff George. Ted Ginn isnt a bust at all lol
Trubisky??? He won a Division Title and made a Pro Bowl!!! Also salvaged a playoff berth two years later. Underwhelming? Yes. But worst ever franchise bust???? Hardly. You must be ten years old.
"lesser QB's like Erik Kramer"??? Kramer was Detroit's best QB between Bobby Layne and Matthew Stafford. It was criminal that Detroit let him walk, (Yes, including Greg Landry) But thank you for not putting Joey Harrington here. Yeah, Harrington was a bust, but he wasn't the Lions biggest bust. Tony Mandarich was the Packers biggest bust. Not only did he flame out but he was drafted 1 spot before Barry Sanders. Of the top 5 people selected in that draft, Mandarich is the only one not the the HOF. For the Patriots, I can understand Sims, but I think a fair amount of long time Pats fans would point to Jim Plunkett. Yeah, he won 2 SB with the Raiders, but he was really bad with the Pats. Considering the draft capital spent to get him, I'm surprised you didn't pick Ricky Williams for the Saints
One team into the video and I've already got issues lol. Josh Rosen and Matt Leinart were both selected 10th overall by AZ. Both failed as NFL QBs. Here is a tiebreaker that you might consider: The next QB selected after Leinart was Jay Cutler. The next QB selected after Rosen was Lamar Jackson. Let's also account for AZ busts that were picked higher than 10th: Andre Wadsworth (3rd overall in 1998), Levi Brown (5th in 2007), Jonathan Cooper (7th in 2013), Kelly Stouffer (6th in 1987), and more. Leinart was definitely a bust, but he was taken with the 10th pick, and is hardly the worst bust in franchise history.
And all it took for the rams to get Phillips was trading away a future hall of famer and one of the best running backs of all time. Steeler nation thanks the rams for jerome bettis.
not to claim Trubisky wasn't a good pick but claiming the Bears error was choosing him over Deshawn Watson is definitively wrong.... that's what you call a bullet dodged.
dude cade mcnown was waaaay worse than trubisky, David Terrell sux, White was a bigger bust than all of them he only played like 9 games for the bears if that.
As a Ravens fan you could give me a lobotomy and I'd still have memories of those dumpster fire years. By the end of his time in Bmore i had basically stopped watching football altogether.
Blair Thomas was perhaps not given as much of a chance as he should have been (no injuries obviously Forced the team's hand) he did have a 4.2 yds/att for his career. The comparison to emmitt Smith is interesting. Smith was a fantastic running back and obviously far greater than Blair Thomas, but the offensive line Smith played with for most of his career was one of the best ever as was his coaching and supporting cast. So making an equal comparison between Smith versus and many great backs is unequal from the start . RBs like Walter Payton, Gayle Sayers, Barry Sanders, Jamaal Charles, Rickey Bell, Steven Jackson, Joe Mixon, Warrick Dunn, Earl Campbell and others produce less supported offensive line and from other offensive players. Running back is more of a group position than most other NFL units, their success so dependent upon Guards Tackles and Centers, and Smith benefited from this as much as any running back in the league much like late 90s Denver RBs, or early aughts Ravens. But simply viewing footage of a RBs greatest runs seems more of a talent indicator then their base stats. Seeing Sanders, Sayers or Payton, or even Charles, Campbell or even Mike Alstott vs Emmitt is a visually compelling argument in favor of the latter players greatness. So while Thomas ended up as a bust, and not in the same league as Smith, it's important to remember that running backs as much as any other position were dependent upon the situation they were drafted into
Didn't have time to finish your book. bBlair Thomas is not the worst Jets pick for all the reasons you listed above because Vern Gholston the pass rusher from Ohio State takes the top spot.
Smith made his o-line better. That o-line had no pro bowlers or all pros for Smith's first rushing title, that line got Emmitt's backups a full yard per carry less than Emmitt throughout the dynasty years, and Emmitt put up 7 straight 1000 yard seasons starting at the age of 28 after that line dissolved.
Troy Aikman only passed for 20 TDS once, let me repeat, once, his entire career. In 1992 he had 23. That’s it. Emmett was the ENTIRE offense for that team. And that o line, as good as it was, all became stars AFTER Emmett showed out. Won’t say that o line didn’t become one of the great ones, but that was mostly because they had the most consistent downhill runner in history.
Underwood is a bigger draft bust for the Vikings. His own college coaches told them not to draft him. He lasted a couple of hours in the first day of training camp.
There should training sessions for those who have entered the draft. Everything from scrimmage play with actual NFL players to looking at a mock or no longer in use playbook. The combine doesn’t show lack of being able to read defenses or being able to deal with immediate changes. The cost could be shared between owners and the NFL. For the amount of money that owners put into players, the cost of training sessions would be a good investment.
Never thought about how vets pray on young rookies and how in college they never have to worry about this since the vets are 4 year seniors who mostly arent NFL caliber. In the NFL you got 12 year pros eating this youngsters for breakfast.
I love everyone arguing over the Bears pick because of how bad they are at drafting high picks. 😂😂😂 I mean, give it time and you may be able to add Caleb Williams to that esteemed list.
The biggest draft bust for the NY Giants was Rocky Thompson. He was supposed to be a great return man, but he only had one good game. His first kick return he took to the house for his one and only TD, later in the game he had a 70+ return, and after that, nothing. He wound up getting replaced by a back-up RB. A total bust.
Troy Williamson for the Vikings? He's not even the Vikings' worst draft bust at RECEIVER...Laquan Treadwell owns that title. And their worst draft bust is absolutely 1999 first rounder Dimitrius Underwood...he lasted a total of 12 days with the team.
Tony Mandarich was the worst draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 1989. They could have had Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, Derrick Thomas but they chose Mandarich over all of them.
Yeah, I just feel like people had much higher expecations for Leinart. I could be alone in that. I just assumed we agreed Rosen was going to be bad before he even played.
No way. Leinart played on a much better team and still got benched early into his second season. Rosen would've played just as long as Leinart if Kyler Murray didn't decide to enter the NFL draft
I make a strong argument that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers worst draft pick, by far, was Bo Jackson. Jackson announcing that he went under no circumstances sign with the buccaneers should have been a clue, but instead culverhouse burnt the first overall pick on Bo, not realizing the strength of character residing within Bo Jackson. For the few that don't know culverhouse had invited Bo Jackson to the facility, telling him that the visit would not trigger NCAA sanctions that would make him ineligible for his upcoming Auburn baseball season. Bo (along with the rest of the world) surmised that Culverhouse lied in a grimey attempt to force Bo to give up baseball in favor of the NFL. Jackson was so angered by this that he refused to ever sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , and in my opinion rather politely told them prior to the draft that he would not sign with them, that they would be wasting a pick) But Hugh, in keeping with the character of most scumbag millionaires and billionaires believe that the millions offered to Jackson to sign in Tampa Bay would overcome his anger and moral stance. Hilariously, it did not. To me this has to be one of the worst number one draft picks of all time, and certainly the most embarrassing. Even worse than Tampa's drafting of Kicker Roberto Aguayo in the second round. Adding to the lunacy of drafting a kicker in round 2, Aguayo ended up as a complet flameout at the NFL level.

In David Carr's defense, that offensive line was HISTORICALLY HORRENDOUS.
He wasn't really a 'bust' he just got the snot beat out of him and wasn't really great enough to be a starter.
It was a damn miracle he never got a concussion or injured.

I'll have to disagree with Jake Locker being the Titans biggest draft bust. Sure, he didn't live up to expectations. however, he did last longer and did contribute more to the Titans organization than my selection as Tennessee's biggest draft bust. In my opinion, the biggest draft bust in Titan's history (quite possibly, the biggest draft bust in NFL history) goes to Right Tackle Isaiah Wilson out of Georgia. Drafted by the Titans 30th overall in 2020. Along with in inability of obeying COVID restrictions by sneaking out of training camp to attend a party at a nearby university. Isaiah only played 4 snaps in the NFL for the Titans before being traded off to the Miami Dolphins (who released him days later) for a late 7th round pick.

For the Colts, I think that Art Schlichter (1982 first-round pick) was a way bigger bust than George. Art gambled his way out of the NFL in a few years.
For the Browns it shouldn't be a player, it should be picking at 22 in the draft. That's right. I'm saying it. Every pick at #22 for the Browns has been a bust.
Hold on. Didn’t the Browns draft Johnny Manziel? Only Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell are even close to the same level of bust. And Josh Rosen was by far a worse bust than Matt Lienhart. I’ll end with Tony Mandarich/Eddie Lacey with the Packers and Joey Harrington with the Lions. Maybe the list should’ve been “Top 5 Biggest Draft Busts for Each NFL Team.”
I feel like Leinart had way higher expectations than Rosen, maybe it was just me but I knew that dude was going to suck before they even picked him. Obviously outliers like Leaf/Russell are some of the biggest busts ever in history, certain teams just dont draft that bad. Joey Harrington had a much better career than Andre Ware, but its close on that one.
Leinart was worse than Rosen
Andray Bruce was the worst Falcons draft pick.
1st round DB who has zero picks.... at least Bruce got 1 sack
Recent Patriots fans (bandwagon hoppers) forget how dreadful their are drafts of the late 80s early 90s were. Kenneth Sims #1 overall was just one example, as they also took Irving fryer with the #1 pick, who became a star from Miami in Philadelphia but underperformed in New England and was a cancer in the locker room. Other first-round busts ncluded wide receiver Hart Lee Dykes (more of an incredible disappointment then straight up bust) running back Reggie Dupard and guard Eugene Chung, all the while failing to capitalize on they're losing records. It wasn't until a 3 stretch where they drafted Drew Bledsoe (#1 overall) Willie McGinnist, Ty Law, Curtis Martin, Chris Slade and Troy Brown that the organization finally achieved relevance.
Josh Rosen was worse 😂
I disagree LOL
Matt Leinart is the bigger bust because of the hype surrounding him, Everyone thought he was going to be the next poster child of The NFL.
Josh rosen definitely a bigger bust 10th overall 5 star number 1 prospect coming out of highschool. Some scouts had him as the best qb of the draft and was traded after his rookie year atleast leinert played most of his rookie deal out
I think JaMarcus Russell is the biggest ever.
Rosen is #1 for Cardinals... plus they gave up a 1st, 3rd, and 5th to get him, only to cut him before the end of his rookie contract
Kevin White and Curtis Enid were far worse than Mitch. The Bears were a winning team with him
Atlanta's biggest bust was Aundray Bruce. Jamaal Anderson is also the Falcon's 2nd biggest bust
Atlanta is one of those franchises that just cant seem to draft incredibly well
Andre Ware making this list over Joey Harrington (who was taken 2nd overall) is wild.
Charles Rogers was pretty bad too
1st season: Injured early on
2nd season: injured early on
3rd season: missed several games due to positve drug test leading to suspension
Training camp for 4th season: Doesn't show up because he's (in his words) good enough so he doesn't need training camp. He was then let go
Harrington played on vastly inferior teams to Ware.
Im a little surprised you didnt pick zach wilson as the biggest bust for the jets tbh.
Technically Bo Jackson was the biggest draft bust for the Buccs. He was drafted number one overall and never signed with the team opting to reenter the draft the following season.
thats technically true LOL
Atlanta - andre bruce
Arizona - josh rosen
Detroit take your pick
1. Mike Williams
2. Charles rogders
3. Joey Harrington
4. Eric ebron
5. Jeff okudah
All worse then andre ware
Detroits worst was Reggie Rogers from Washington. Got in a drunk driving accident. A total bust
Andre Ware failed on a playoff team with Barry Sanders. Nobody else you said is close to him. Leinart over Rosen easily too. Leinart was a better prospect and failed on a team Kurt Warner took to a Super Bowl. Bruce has an argument for sure though.
For the Bears try Cade McNown or Kevin White.
Troy Williamson isn't even on the level of Dimitrius Underwood. Not even close.
I'm going to argue otherwise. When I think 'bust', the picture of that, to me, is someone who failed to perform despite having the opportunities to. While some might disagree, I wouldn't call someone a bust who suffered serious injuries that derailed their chance to be what they were hoped to be. Like, I wouldn't call RG3 a bust - his career was wrecked by an injury that clearly severely diminished his ability to play his game.
Likewise, I would classify Underwood in the same vein. While his wasn't an injury per se, it was a health condition that precluded his ability to perform at the level he potentially could have. We'll never actually know if Underwood could have been good if he had been treated for his mental health issues rather than having them ignored and overlooked. (I know he played briefly for the Cowboys but he still wasn't getting proper treatment and his episodes caused him to drop back out.) It falls under the category of 'what might have been' to me.
Conversely, Troy Williamson had the chances. He had the opportunities to prove himself worth it, and he failed, badly. That makes him a bona-fide bust in my eyes, and definitely one of the biggest in Vikings history.
@DoctorNovakaine i would argue that they made fully aware of his situation, to the point where they were warned by Nick Saban not to draft him. At which point he was with the team for all of a single day. Exactly one practice. This is not like Lewis Cine, where his leg went full Alex Smith, or the other 2005 draft first rounder Erasmus James, whose careers were derailed by injuries before they could get started, this is about on par with the Bucs drafting Bo Jackson.
Yeah, Williamson was abysmal, but at least he saw the field and contributed. To me, he is on par with guys like Michael Bennett, Laquan Treadwell, Darrin Nelson, DJ Dozier, and Derrick Alexander.
@@dustingreene6923 I would argue otherwise. Reportedly, Saban said that Underwood did not have the 'mental acuity'. That is a FAR cry from 'psychologically unstable,' and does not accurately represent what was actually wrong with Underwood. And if Saban had actually made efforts to get Underwood the help he needed back then, maybe things would also have been different.
And yes, I do put this on par with Lewis Cine. Mental health is health just as much as physical health, and if this had been treated properly, maybe he wouldn't have faltered at the first practice. I don't equate it to Bo Jackson, because Bo Jackson outright told Tampa he wouldn't play for them before he was drafted - Underwood never said any such thing.
I know I didn't talk about this before, but now's a good a time as any: I also think draft order matters. Underwood was the 29th pick, and while you still have expectations for a first-round pick, with low picks you tend to be past the most 'sure' prospects, and expectations aren't necessarily as high. Williamson was 7th. When you're picking seventh, you expect that there are players within the top two of their prospect class still available (except QB potentially). When the expectations are that much higher, the failures sting that much harder. Williamson's failure hits on the same level as someone like Charles Rogers or Mike Williams, harder than the level of Treadwell or Jalen Reagor (both of whom are bona-fide busts in their own right).
That's my case. I'll say, I fully understand that you might not be convinced. That's fine. This is a subject subject to subjectiveness, and reasonable people can disagree on what matters more. This would be my position. It's not saying Underwood was a great pick by any means, but mostly that I put failure by performance as higher up than failure by circumstance when it comes to the measure. There will surely be assessors who weight them differently.
@DoctorNovakaine I will say that your opinion is fair, and your case has been stated well - but I'd still put DJ Dozier and Darrin Nelson as worse draft picks when you consider how they directly lead to the Walker trade, and they could have just as easily been Marcus Allen or Amobi Okoye, under the assumption that we're omitting Underwood.
Williamson is bad, no doubt, but I think his failure is overhyped in regards to other more impactful draft blunders - especially when considering the Red McCombs of it all.
Issue with both Underwood and Troy Williamson was it was a reach. Than a bust. Neither should have been drafted that round or at all.
Denny Green didn’t understand draft value. Underwood is a UFA.
Williamson was a front office attempt to appease loss of Moss. Cannot fabricate such a move.
Common theme here is it occurred during the abysmal Red Macomb’s era.
David carr was not a bust he was on a bad team with a horrible offense of line. It was a new franchise also
The Texans o-line gave up half as many sacks the year Carr left than the year before. Meanwhile, Carr doubled the sack rate of a 47 year old Vinny Testaverde on the 07 Panthers.
Carr was a lazy bum that got called out by his teammates for his lack of preparation. Those sacks were on him.
Tony Mandrich was the biggest draft bust for Green Bay.
Jamarcus Russell became an overnight millionaire who didn't care. Ryan Leaf had major personality and substance abuse problems he seems to have overcome.
Plus their legal issues. Leaf couldn't STOP getting arrested
Kevin White was worse than Trubisky.
Cade McNown was worse than both of them .
Mike Williams from USC is the Lions biggest bust. DeMarcus Ware was drafted a pick a later.
I'd say Andre Ware was the Lions' biggest bust. Mike Williams showed brief flashes (admittedly very brief) of ability. Ware was just bad.
Reggie Rodgers was
Ware failed on a playoff team with Barry Sanders. And he was horrible. Williams isn't close to Ware
It’s so frustrating that creators make sports content, yet don’t know how to pronounce household names
And he also said Troy Williamson struggled with root running 🤦🏻
Matt Leinart was a great player in college, but he struggled in the pros and could never get back to the player he once was. I don’t why people wanna talk about Rae Carruth and he will forever be a convict felon, so that’s his own fault for ruined his career. Mitch Trubisky was alright in college, but he was never good enough to be a productive quarterback. Akili Smith also was good in college, but he totally sucked in the league and struggled with studying the playbook. Kadarius Toney was a huge joke in the league and he’s a free agent. R. Jay Soward was barely in the league when he played for the Jaguars. Ryan Leaf was definitely a major disappointment as a draft bust for clashing with players and coaches. Lawrence Phillips was a huge disappointment by his behavior problems and lack of maturity. Kyle Boller was never a great player to begin with, so he didn’t have a long career in the league. Former NFL player Mike Williams was a former offensive lineman who never adapted as a player who struggled with injuries and inconsistency. Is there anybody that I missed?
You got a lot of people on the list.
Make your own video, sheesh
I didn’t wanna name all of them because it would’ve been too many to name.
Short bus takes is crazy bro
You would know, you rode it your whole childhood. Go back to roblox kid
@FootballLoreOfficial looking at old videos to come up with an argument, actual former short bus rider behavior
Pull Up Teej.
This video would be just as long if it was only covering the browns.
Morris Claiborne had a couple of damn good seasons with the cowboys tho
Danny Noonan was by far & away the worst 1st rd pick Dallas ever had IMO
I wonder what player the Chargers will have at number one bust lol 😂😂
Sammy davis jr
Kevin White was selected 5th overall by the Bears, but not much happened after that other than injuries
Just couldn’t stay healthy …..it’s a shame .
You picked McGuire over Brian Bozworth? WTF! You obviously don't know about the hype around that dude! He was easily the Seahawks biggest, most hyped out bust and 1 of the biggest the NFL has ever seen!!
thanks for the view
I still remember Bo Jackson running the Boz over , sending him into B movies and commercials.
I gotts say, i dont like Trubisky but he did make the 2018 Pro Bowl as an alternate. Curtis Ennis and Cade Mcnown were bigger busts for the Bears.
I'll never get over that tape clip of Warren Sapp roasting Akili Smith's Wanderlich score😂
Tim Tebow is not only the Broncos worst 1st round pick, but top five worst 1st round pick ever
at least he won a playoff game
Tebow has a career winning record. When he played he won. He took over a team with a losing record and got them to the playoffs. I ain’t saying he was great or belonged in a probowl but he wasn’t nearly as bad as you say
Come on his loss of playing time was political..He is better than over half of current QBs playing..
.
McGr\wire doesn't hold a candle to Mirer in terms of draft busts.
Trub wasn’t a bust ! The bears suck as an organization, they’re QB Killers
they and the Jets might actually be cursed at quarterback
Sometimes players will be considered a bigger bust because of what position in the draft they were taken and what it cost the team too move up.
@@arkie622 tits latter after the game
Are the Steelers also, because they tried to start him after being traded from Chicago?
@@arkie622 I love tittysnot good enough in the NFL dont blame it on the bears
They call these quarterbacks draft busts but I think it’s more about going in and having someone who can teach an NFL system and giving them a good base to start with. It seems whenever the coach is a bit weak and there isn’t a good veteran for that first year of teaching.
then why do some Quarterbacks actually play to their level even without a good coach? You want them to get participation trophies?
Players are at fault for not putting in the work more often than coaches are at fault. David Carr for example was called out publicly by his teammates for the lack of work he put in, and the Texans immediately improved when he left. He even told Derek to take the NFL seriously and not to take it for granted like he did.
I can't believe I'm the first Jet fan to point out Blair Thomas was not the worst pick that distinction goes to OLB/DE superstar pass rusher Vern Gholston from Ohio State. Vern was drafted to sack the QB and he ended his career tied with me with zero career sacks.
He was a thorn in Michigans side
John Ross and KiJana Carter never got going with the Bengals either
Mike Williams must’ve been horrible he’s on here twice 😂
Trey Lance was easily the Niners biggest bust when taken into account just how much they gave up to get him. After that I'd say AJ Jenkins who was traded after his rookie season.
Atlanta worst bust was Aundray Bruce, who they picked #1 overall but wasn’t a good 4th rounder.
My takes:
Bears ~ Trubisky was a bad pick but he was far from the worst by the Bears who've had some real doozies. Gabe Carimi, Kevin White, Curtis Enis were all worse. And if you want to go with a 1st round QB Cade McNown was a thousand times worst than Mitch.
Packers ~ I don't care how bad Harrell was he was not nearly as big a bust as Tony Mandarich, especially when you look at that draft and see the next 3 players all are Hall of Famers - meanwhile Tony started 31 total games for GB before they cut him.
Jags ~ I get picking Soward due to his limited play but Blackmon was selected 5th overall at the same position and only played 7 more games. Bigger bust IMO.
Titans ~ Isaiah Wilson played 2 total snaps for Tennessee and was out of the league. He is far and away the biggest draft bust for that franchise.
The Indy Colts were the first team I watched play football and since everyone in Dallas loved the Cowboys I wanted to be different and became a Colts fan. It was some difficult times until Peyton Manning came along and I still remember their miracle year in 1994 when they almost made the super bowl.
95-96 season
I've been a fan of Da Bears for more than 60 years and they have ALWAYS had issues at QB in that time. Bob Avellini, Vince Evans, Bobby Douglass, Mike Tomczak, Cade McNown, Mitch Trubisky, Justin Fields, and on and on. Hardly any names worth remembering. Cheers....
McMahon was pretty good.
You could say for every bad QB the Bears drafted, they drafted great running backs (except for ennis) and middle linebackers. Don't forget to add Harbaugh to your list.
When it comes to QBs, I did like Evans, McMahon, Kramer, Cutler and i do love Caleb now. I also did like Fields when the Bears Had Montgomery/Herbert running the ball with him.
That Justin Gilbert pick still kills me. Loved dude in college hated he went to the browns
8:45 Akili Smith and David Klingler 😂😂😂
I honestly don't want to call Carr a bust. That Houston line was the worst we'd ever seen
Joey Harrington not being #1 for Detroit is nasty work
Ted Ginn had good stints with the Saints and Panthers tho
Cade McNown or Curtis Enis not Mitchell Trubisky are the clear biggest busts for the bears. Trey Lance Not Rasuan Woods is the clear biggest bust for the 49ers. Steve Emtman or Trev Alberts were the biggest busts for the Colts not Jeff George. Ted Ginn isnt a bust at all lol
Trubisky??? He won a Division Title and made a Pro Bowl!!! Also salvaged a playoff berth two years later. Underwhelming? Yes. But worst ever franchise bust???? Hardly. You must be ten years old.
Trevor you yap a lot but don't really say anything
The Chargers may a big mistake on getting Ryan Leaf.
"lesser QB's like Erik Kramer"??? Kramer was Detroit's best QB between Bobby Layne and Matthew Stafford. It was criminal that Detroit let him walk, (Yes, including Greg Landry) But thank you for not putting Joey Harrington here. Yeah, Harrington was a bust, but he wasn't the Lions biggest bust. Tony Mandarich was the Packers biggest bust. Not only did he flame out but he was drafted 1 spot before Barry Sanders. Of the top 5 people selected in that draft, Mandarich is the only one not the the HOF. For the Patriots, I can understand Sims, but I think a fair amount of long time Pats fans would point to Jim Plunkett. Yeah, he won 2 SB with the Raiders, but he was really bad with the Pats. Considering the draft capital spent to get him, I'm surprised you didn't pick Ricky Williams for the Saints
fair
One team into the video and I've already got issues lol. Josh Rosen and Matt Leinart were both selected 10th overall by AZ. Both failed as NFL QBs. Here is a tiebreaker that you might consider: The next QB selected after Leinart was Jay Cutler. The next QB selected after Rosen was Lamar Jackson. Let's also account for AZ busts that were picked higher than 10th: Andre Wadsworth (3rd overall in 1998), Levi Brown (5th in 2007), Jonathan Cooper (7th in 2013), Kelly Stouffer (6th in 1987), and more. Leinart was definitely a bust, but he was taken with the 10th pick, and is hardly the worst bust in franchise history.
The Rams biggest got to be Sam Bradford
I feel like Mitchell trubisky was put in a shitty situation and actually didn’t do half bad.
I guess art schlichter was too far back for you??
nah just wasn't #1 for me. Definitely up there for them
And all it took for the rams to get Phillips was trading away a future hall of famer and one of the best running backs of all time. Steeler nation thanks the rams for jerome bettis.
Rae Carruth is the most disgusting person in NFL history.
no. that would be Roger Goodell.
@yootoobe1790 You must not know who Rae Carruth is. Goodell is a lowlife but, to my knowledge, he didn't murder anybody.
@@PunkSlapper123 i do know who Rae Carruth is. and what he did. i stand by what i said.
One can't really argue against Andre Ware as Detroit's worst draft bust. But Chuck Long certainly gets dishonorable mention.
Ted Ginn was NOT our biggest draft bust....Dion Jordan was!
I agree with that. The video says that Ginn only had 3 return tds during his time in Miami. Only!?! 3 return tds is really good!!
Dion was worse because they reached for him when he could have been drafted much later.
Ginn was overdrafted but he sure cashed a lot of NFL checks, unlike many others on this list.
not to claim Trubisky wasn't a good pick but claiming the Bears error was choosing him over Deshawn Watson is definitively wrong.... that's what you call a bullet dodged.
dude cade mcnown was waaaay worse than trubisky, David Terrell sux, White was a bigger bust than all of them he only played like 9 games for the bears if that.
wow, I forgot all about Kyle Boller
we all did
As a Ravens fan you could give me a lobotomy and I'd still have memories of those dumpster fire years. By the end of his time in Bmore i had basically stopped watching football altogether.
Blair Thomas was perhaps not given as much of a chance as he should have been (no injuries obviously Forced the team's hand) he did have a 4.2 yds/att for his career.
The comparison to emmitt Smith is interesting. Smith was a fantastic running back and obviously far greater than Blair Thomas, but the offensive line Smith played with for most of his career was one of the best ever as was his coaching and supporting cast. So making an equal comparison between Smith versus and many great backs is unequal from the start . RBs like Walter Payton, Gayle Sayers, Barry Sanders, Jamaal Charles, Rickey Bell, Steven Jackson, Joe Mixon, Warrick Dunn, Earl Campbell and others produce less supported offensive line and from other offensive players. Running back is more of a group position than most other NFL units, their success so dependent upon Guards Tackles and Centers, and Smith benefited from this as much as any running back in the league much like late 90s Denver RBs, or early aughts Ravens. But simply viewing footage of a RBs greatest runs seems more of a talent indicator then their base stats. Seeing Sanders, Sayers or Payton, or even Charles, Campbell or even Mike Alstott vs Emmitt is a visually compelling argument in favor of the latter players greatness.
So while Thomas ended up as a bust, and not in the same league as Smith, it's important to remember that running backs as much as any other position were dependent upon the situation they were drafted into
Didn't have time to finish your book. bBlair Thomas is not the worst Jets pick for all the reasons you listed above because Vern Gholston the pass rusher from Ohio State takes the top spot.
Smith made his o-line better. That o-line had no pro bowlers or all pros for Smith's first rushing title, that line got Emmitt's backups a full yard per carry less than Emmitt throughout the dynasty years, and Emmitt put up 7 straight 1000 yard seasons starting at the age of 28 after that line dissolved.
Troy Aikman only passed for 20 TDS once, let me repeat, once, his entire career. In 1992 he had 23. That’s it. Emmett was the ENTIRE offense for that team. And that o line, as good as it was, all became stars AFTER Emmett showed out. Won’t say that o line didn’t become one of the great ones, but that was mostly because they had the most consistent downhill runner in history.
Although he went on to win a Super Bowl with Oakland, you have to include Jim Plunkett as one of New England's worst draft picks.
Andre Wadsworth for the Cardinals.
Lions busts-Charles Rogers(2) Mike Williams(10). Jeff Okudah(3). Ernie Sims(9). Joey Harrington (3). Reggie Rogers (7). Chuck Long (12).
It’s unfair to David Carr. He was stuck in an impossible situation. You cannot draft a rookie to an expansion team.
Others that could/should be on the list half way thru the video:
Tony Mandarich - Packers
Kellen Winslow Jr - Browns
Underwood is a bigger draft bust for the Vikings. His own college coaches told them not to draft him. He lasted a couple of hours in the first day of training camp.
Ginn had a great career outside of Miami (there's shocker). Even late in his career, he was very effective.
Trubisky was not Chicago's biggest bust, ennis, Devin white to name a few
There should training sessions for those who have entered the draft. Everything from scrimmage play with actual NFL players to looking at a mock or no longer in use playbook. The combine doesn’t show lack of being able to read defenses or being able to deal with immediate changes. The cost could be shared between owners and the NFL.
For the amount of money that owners put into players, the cost of training sessions would be a good investment.
Never thought about how vets pray on young rookies and how in college they never have to worry about this since the vets are 4 year seniors who mostly arent NFL caliber. In the NFL you got 12 year pros eating this youngsters for breakfast.
I love everyone arguing over the Bears pick because of how bad they are at drafting high picks. 😂😂😂
I mean, give it time and you may be able to add Caleb Williams to that esteemed list.
no way the bears get the right head coach and caleb will take this bears team to the super bowl.
The biggest draft bust for the NY Giants was Rocky Thompson. He was supposed to be a great return man, but he only had one good game. His first kick return he took to the house for his one and only TD, later in the game he had a 70+ return, and after that, nothing. He wound up getting replaced by a back-up RB. A total bust.
Troy Williamson for the Vikings? He's not even the Vikings' worst draft bust at RECEIVER...Laquan Treadwell owns that title. And their worst draft bust is absolutely 1999 first rounder Dimitrius Underwood...he lasted a total of 12 days with the team.
Tony Mandarich was the worst draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 1989. They could have had Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, Derrick Thomas but they chose Mandarich over all of them.
A separate video should be done with the Cleveland Brown's draft busts against the league. I bet Cleveland wins.
Matt Leinart over Josh Rosen is CRAZZZZZYYY!
did anyone actually think Rosen would be good? I figured he was a dud before he was drafted. I had hope for Leinart
@FootballLoreOfficial and Leinart played a lot longer in the league than Rosen.
Yeah, I just feel like people had much higher expecations for Leinart. I could be alone in that. I just assumed we agreed Rosen was going to be bad before he even played.
@@FootballLoreOfficial I can see that but at the end of the day no USC QB this Millennium has accomplished anything, maybe besides Carson Palmer.
No way. Leinart played on a much better team and still got benched early into his second season. Rosen would've played just as long as Leinart if Kyler Murray didn't decide to enter the NFL draft
Calling Trubisky the Bears’ biggest bust is both ignorant & laughable. Apparently you’ve never heard of Kevin White.
Injury bug sidelined Kevin for pretty much his whole career, so I wouldn't call him a bust
I make a strong argument that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers worst draft pick, by far, was Bo Jackson. Jackson announcing that he went under no circumstances sign with the buccaneers should have been a clue, but instead culverhouse burnt the first overall pick on Bo, not realizing the strength of character residing within Bo Jackson. For the few that don't know culverhouse had invited Bo Jackson to the facility, telling him that the visit would not trigger NCAA sanctions that would make him ineligible for his upcoming Auburn baseball season. Bo (along with the rest of the world) surmised that Culverhouse lied in a grimey attempt to force Bo to give up baseball in favor of the NFL. Jackson was so angered by this that he refused to ever sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , and in my opinion rather politely told them prior to the draft that he would not sign with them, that they would be wasting a pick) But Hugh, in keeping with the character of most scumbag millionaires and billionaires believe that the millions offered to Jackson to sign in Tampa Bay would overcome his anger and moral stance. Hilariously, it did not. To me this has to be one of the worst number one draft picks of all time, and certainly the most embarrassing. Even worse than Tampa's drafting of Kicker Roberto Aguayo in the second round. Adding to the lunacy of drafting a kicker in round 2, Aguayo ended up as a complet flameout at the NFL level.
Rae Carruth was a bad person, not the worst pick by them
