TPS Jim Plunkett did not have a good team around him. The Patriots did not provide him with the personnel to thrive. No offensive line is the prime example.
My takeaways from this: 1. Art Schlichter's last name is pronounced "Shleester", not "Shlickter". 2. Earl Morrall's last name is pronounced "Moral", not "Morale". 3. I don't consider Tim Couch and David Carr to be "busts". They were drafted first overall to expansion teams, and they just had no chance on most of their dropbacks.
I disagree with about half of this list. Jake Lockler for Tennessee is a start. Johnny Manziel for Cleveland. Heath Schuler for Washington. Tommy Maddox in Denver. Seneca Wallace in Seattle. I can keep going.
Agreed, but it was going to be Carr, especially for a team by team analysis. That said, Carr had nothing even close to a working O-line and had almost no time to let anything develop. Once the team got better, the beating he took during his earlier years created problematic habits. Basically, his failure is more on the team as a whole than Carr individually.
I'd say Couch was a bigger bust ONLY because he was a bust pre CBA, where 1st round picks got CRAZY paid. Other than that, Couch did outperform all the other qb draft picks
@@fnbpodcast8678 Tommy Maddox/Brian Griese Paxton Lynch to name a few broncos, Jay was awesome in Denver. It's when he went to Chicago it went downhill
Look at that O-Line be bad for Carr. Looks at David’s young brother Derek. Look at him get injured. It seems you don’t want Carr as your last name for QBs.
I agree with you fully. Carr doesn’t deserve the criticism he’s getting being on that trash team. But based on the list they made, he’s the only top drafted qb (too early to judge Watson) in the Texans’ history
Amen... Heath Shuler was absolutely terrible and made it like 3 years in the league. Barely even played for us. He was supposed to bring the franchise back to glory.
Anthony Bee I disagree. The Redskins traded a whole lot to move up to the second overall pick for RG3. To get the short window of great play that they did makes this a bust.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.
@@solitaryman7485: Walsh played for Jimmy Johnson in college, but he still couldn't beat out Aikman on the Cowboys. He eventually made his way to the Bears and led the to them playoffs once. Walsh was no worse than a journeyman, not a bust.
No, I'm sorry Ryan leaf and akili Smith beat out jemarcus Russell. Smith threw 5 touchdowns in 22 games! Lead threw the most interceptions than anybody in the same time frame.
Russell wasnt the biggest bust since he had legit talent but we had a bad OL and he didnt care about football. I would say the biggest bust couldnt play well even if the rest of the team was really good. He still is a bust but I still believe with a better OL and wrs and if he cared enough to stay in shape and be great he would of been good. Look up Eddie Lacy he cost himself millions of dollars because he stopped caring about football and staying in shape. Both of them had a lot of talent and just didnt care that much.
Tim Couch was not the biggest QB bust for the Browns; Johnny Manziel was. The 1999 Browns were an expansion team, and Couch was thrown to the wolves with no offensive line no premier receivers.
Couch was an expansion team starter, of course he's not going to deliver like a regular pro QB, especially if the expansion team is run as badly as the Browns were
TDs and INTs can be a really biased stat though.Some players literally throw ints because the OL sucks or the OC is stupid. When Mitch was on the Bears I remember he threw a perfect td pass and the wr dropped it in the endzone.It was a really easy pass to catch.
@@lawrencewalraven5137 problem was he was almost never healthy. Luck got hurt because the colts refused to do anything with their line for his entire tenure. Rg3 got hurt because his style of play is highly risky and the coaches allowed him to play despite being already injured
Your memory is a little off. The Browns went 4-12 during Frye's lone full season as starting QB (2006). When the Browns went 10-6 in 2007, Frye started the opening week against the Steelers, faltered and was replaced by Derek Anderson. Frye was then traded to the Seahawks before the Browns week 2 game against the Seahawks. Anderson started the rest of the 2007 season, so he, not Frye, is, therefore, the GOAT. Right idea, wrong QB. But then there have been so many in Cleveland since 1999 it's certainly understandable they could be confused as they all tend to look and sound alike after awhile.
C'mon man... David Carr was on an expansion team with lineman playing on roller skates and pop warner talent at the skill position. He ran for his life on every play. And Dallas? Don Meredithin the 3rd? Dude Steve Walsh! 1989 1st round pick in the supplemental round. Jay Cutler over Tommy Maddox or Tebow? Tim Couch over Johnny Manziel? VY for the Titans? A two time pro bowler and ROY? Jake Locker over him and MAYBE Mariota over both soon... Do you even football bro?
I agree with you. David Carr never had a chance to develop with the worst offensive line in football. It's such a shame his career was over before it started.
@@eduardohuerta5460 yes sir, you literally hit every nail on the head every Houston and TBH all Texans know... Things werent the same cor the Texans when the Jags amd Panthers formed.... They and the "New Browns" got outright gain that was withheld for a statistical advantage . so there....
You are the mook dude. Goes without saying Steve Walsh was a bust, just not for Dallas because the Cowboys got back the draft pick they invested in him and more when he was traded just after one single year. That was my point. Steve Walsh did his damage in New Orleans! Got it? If you want to make a counterpoint about a QB who busted for the Cowboys think of someone else. Like Quincy Carter, for instance.
How could Couch be a bigger bust than Manziel?? At least Couch played (and even won a few) games for the Browns. Manziel played very little and flat out sucked.
When the Chiefs drafted Pete Beathard they still had Len Dawson in his prime and fresh off an AFL championship victory. They had no real intention of making Pete a starter. The REAL all-time Chiefs QB bust was Todd Blackledge. Taken with the 7th overall pick in 1983(the greatest qb draft ever) he was cut after 5 years. He had only 5,000 career passing yards and 29tds vs 38ints.
Don Meredith was NOT a bust. He was the QB that helped get the Cowboys from a a bad expansion team to a contender. He made 3 pro bowls! Quincy Carter is the Cowboys' QB bust.
Once again, you're being unfair to Tim Couch (and David Carr). No rookie quarterback could hope to succeed on an expansion franchise with no supporting cast. And surely Johnny Manziel was the Browns' biggest bust?
@ Aarnav Kolli - I don't accept that reasoning. It's true that a higher pick comes with a higher expectation, but a player's draft position is only one consideration among many. Sure, if Manziel had been a fourth-round speculative pick, then I wouldn't rate him so highly as a bust (er - you know what I mean). But a first-rounder is expected to produce whether he's taken first or thirty-second. Manziel had a better supporting cast than Couch. Couch put the effort in where Manziel partied. And Couch did lead the Browns to the play-offs in 2002. Manziel is by far the bigger bust.
lomax343 so what doesn't matter. 1st overall pick was david carr. Yes may be different Sport but look at My Las Vegas Golden Knights. Expansion team 1st year in league and were 3rd best team in league and just swept the kings in 1st round of playoffs now off to san jose for round 2!! Thats bs reason in my opinion
Couch was used in a QB Drill VHS I saw in high school. In one drill, he would drop back and throw fades into a trash can 30 yards away. The guy had great skill coming out of college.
Don Meredith a bust? No way! He was a rookie with the expansion Cowboys in their first season, and he grew with them as the management methodically built them into a top contender. He was All-Pro his final three seasons.
RGIII wasn’t a bust- Mike Shanahan was the bust. Who else continues to let a running qb with a bad knee play until he gets destroyed? Coaches to some degree have to protect players from themselves (like concussion protocol). Mike Shanahan ruined RGIII
Gio was a 3rd round pick.People in the 3rd round and lower are not expected to be good.The 49ers didnt need Gio or Tom Brady since Jeff Garcia was already on the team and would make many pro bowls in the future and cost the team no draft pick at all.
@@Shahmar you shouldn't be blamed for your team's failure. He showed alot of improvement but the line never improved, you see how getting hit 4 times a game would mentally fuck you up especially knowing you were gonna get hit from your blindside.
You guys have no clue. I'll give 1 example of your ignorance. You named Don Meredith as the Cowboy QB bust over former Georgia QB Quincy Carter who was drafted higher and never had anything close to Meredith's success.
"You guys have no clue." Agreed, but I figured that out a long time ago. These guys are ignorant and lazy when it comes to their research. Justin is the worst, as his video about critiquing professional sports mascots just shows his and the group's incompetence and laziness when it comes to research. That's why I will not subscribe to their channel. Every so often, they do produce an interesting video that might interest me like this one.
Don Meredith was a 1st rounder, Carter was a 2nd. But still, Don Meredith made 3 Pro Bowls and took the cowboys to the playoff. Pretty stupid to put the bust label on the guy.
Robert Estep, I'd include Drew Henson and Chad Hutchinson in your argument too. Even though I don't think the Cowboys drafted either of them. But I remember us giving up some picks or something like that for these two former baseball players, they were horrible compared to Meredith, hell compared to anyone.
@AVERY HUEBEL and now Tebow plays baseball...I think. He had a couple of crazy victories, which were arguable flukes, and don't forget that the team in question had some talent and was well coached...the Teboe never did anything else...so yeah bust...
Nah. I watched every Vikings game in 2016 (generally considered Bradford's best season) and he was not impressive. He had a high completion percentage and a good TD-INT ratio because he dumped everything off to pad his stats
Gregory Haynes That's not what I'm talking about though. It would be 3rd and 16 and he'd have a rceiver downfield with 3 steps on the DB, but he'd still check it down to the running back every time. He ranked 30th in yards per completion that year
As a Rams fan, I’m actually a little insulted by this. You chose Sam Bradford over Tony Banks? I literally watched games where Banks would fumble the snap on multiple occasions. It gets worse too. 14-29 record 36 TDs 42 INTs Not to mention the guy had a major attitude like Leaf did. Sorry Mike, but Tony Banks is the biggest QB draft bust for the Rams. 🤷🏻♂️
@@STEVEHEROLD Banks was a journeyman from the worst quarterback draft for at least twenty years. One reason why I think that there should be a list of worst quarterback drafts ever is that such things as the 0-26 Buccaneers, the massive hype over Leaf, the 2-30 Lions and 6-42 Rams, and the 1-31 Browns followed upon terrible quarterback drafts and could potentially be related to them. If those teams had had available better quarterback classes - like if the Texans had began with the remarkably good 2004 and 2005 quarterback drafts or the Buccaneers with the 1971 or 1973 classes - they would have fared better at inception.
FallenKams look at how long ago that I wrote that. It was before Baker had really shown anything on field, even now, he’s been good for part of one season. Kapernick led the 49ers to a super bowl before busting.
Did you not listen to what he said? Most of these guys are DRAFT busts, not overall busts. They were busts for the teams that drafted them, not for the teams the ended up having success with.
Smith & Wesson so how much success outside of McNair has fisher had with QBs.?! He’s an awful offensive mind and should have never been anything other than a D-coordinator
@@brandone869 North horrible, he was mediocre. A literal .500 win percentage. He may actually be worse than terrible, he gives you hope that you can get over the hump while history shows he has been good enough to not be fired.
So Jake Locker was less of a bust than Vince Young? How? I don't care how much hype there is around him, he was a 2 time pro bowler and led them to the playoffs like you said. Jake Locker did literally nothing. I don't understand that one.
People just forget Locker was picked so high and quit on football after leaving Tennessee. If Vince Young had more structure without Jeff Fisher running things then maybe he would still be in the league.
Jake Locker is the Titans biggest bust. He played just 4 years, and was made of glass!!! He couldn’t stay healthy, was wildly inaccurate, and did far less than VY. At least Young made two pro bowls and won ROY. Jake Locker should’ve been on this list. Do more research next time bro.
I know these are only draft busts but seeing Mcnown, Cutler and Randy Orton all get mentioned, you could do an entire video on how bad my bears qbs have been. Weve been a step up from the old brown for years but out defense always bails us out and somehow we finish at least 8-8 every season.
Pretty sure it was a Dan Snyder/RGIII call to play RGIII until he broke. Shanahan wanted nothing to do with RGIII and that trade, thats why he drafted Cousins in the 6th round of the same draft.
Shanahan made the dumbest decision to start an injured RG III against the Legion of Boom. Im a hawks fan and I could not believe they started him. I actually felt sorry for RG III. Hell even after he took that big hit, Shanahan had the chance to pull him, but no. . . . and we all watch that knee buckle and his career die that day.
What about Tebow? Yeah he won 1 playoff game (thanks to Thomas) but the guy had no business being in the NFL. Cutler was at least a decent QB and Lynch looked like a QB at times but Tebow was a glorified running back, and a shitty one at that.
Vince Young was the 3rd overall pick and was the biggest bust for the Titans. Locker is #2 lol. At least the Titans didn't draft Paxton Lynch and Brock Osweiler. My Broncos love drafting trash. Locker and Young did a lot better than those guys
@@jessedeleon4123 Foster wasn't even in the league until like 5 years after Carr was already out of Houston and Andre Johnson got drafted the year after Carr.
I use the same defense for Tim Couch. I think if he had any sort of a line he might have been OK. I don't think he would be worthy of where he was picked but he also wouldn't be a bust.
Tim Couch before Jonny Manziel? I know Couch was number 1 overall but come on, 64TD-67INT isn't that bad. There is some production there at least. Plus out of all the Cleveland QB's I would think Couch was one of the subpar ones, not awful.
Cleveland has drafted like shit since they re-entered the league in 1999. Aside from Joe Thomas and Joe Haden, most everyone the Browns have drafted has been horrid. One would think that having 2 first round picks every year and 3 picks in the top 50 picks that they would have built a contender by now.
You're exactly right and that completely falls on the GM and owner. I root for Cleveland each year because I try to root for the underdog and I feel bad for the true fan base. It's sad. They are likely going to overthink their picks this year and end up taking guys who will be bust too.
Meredith wasn't bad at all. 3 time pro bowler, led his team to the NFL championship game twice, it's not his fault he was drafted by an expansion team.
This list is awful. How do you even call Dandy Don a bust when Quincey Carter was drafted earlier and couldn’t stay sober. Tim Couch was the best QB the Browns have had since Bernie Kosar. He just had no o-line and got injured. Definitely no bust.
brandon smith and do your homework. To be called “bust” you have to have high expectations entering the league. Tebow didn’t have that so technically anything he did bad wasn’t a shock.
@@6foot8aquarius Tebow was a 2 time national champ and won player of the year. So yeah, I'm pretty sure he had high expectations. The guy was a glorified running back and couldn't throw for shit. Cutler could at least play the quarterback position. And the only reason they won that playoff game was because of Demarius Thomas. Yeah, I did my homework.
brandon smith NOBODY gave Tebow a chance in hell in the league. The Broncos coach at the time Josh McDaniel was remmed for drafting Tebow in the first round when he was projected to be a 3rd or 4th rounder. Just because you got stats in college doesn’t mean your transition to the league will be seamless. Besides Cam Newton & Carson Palmer are the ONLY decent Pro Bowl Heisman QB’s to play in the NFL. Name me 3 more?
Pete Beathard was not a bust. He was drafted by KC to be Len Dawson's backup. When Dawson didn't get injured in his first 3 seasons he was traded for Ernie "Big Cat" Ladd, a hall of famer. In the 1983 Draft Todd Blackledge was drafted by the Chiefs 7th overall the 2nd quarterback taken after only John Elway. He played 46 games and threw for 29 tds and 38 interceptions. He was chosen before quarterbacks like Jim Kelly and Dan Marino. For him not to be listed but a guy who was drafted to be a backup is, is a total disgrace.
A rookie of the year (Robert Griffin III) can't be a draft bust when injuries & suspect coaching derailed his career. Have you ever heard of Heath Shuler the no. 5 pick of the 95 draft who eventually was replaced by a 7th rd pick (Gus Ferrotte) from the same draft who went on to have a 10 plus year career. Also, you butchered some of those quarterbacks names, Schlicter, Morrall, Bethard.
It was sad when Robert Griffin lll was made to play despite having a knee injury. What kind of coach would play a young QB with a knee injury, Not even Lombardi would do that.
Don Meredith took the Cowboys to the NFL Title game two years in a row only to lose to Green Bay. One of his toughest losses was in th Ice Bowl.. Try again...
How was Johnny Football not worse than Tim Couch? Couch managed 5 years. He still works for them. Carr set consecutive times-sacked years. They literally were bringing in tackles during game week that were to START that week. They were woeful! Do you really count guys as a bust that were more than good enough to be successful elsewhere? No Heath Shuler for the Redskins!?! 3rd overall, 1st QB, 1994, did nothing. You have to put Geno Smith and his short tenure as worse than Todd. What about Browning Nagle? Andre Ware, 1st round, 1990 Dan McGwire, 1st round, 1991 (did nothing) Todd Marinovitch, 1st round, 1991 (you were right with Russell, just worth noting) Dave Brown, Giants spent a 1st rounder in the supplemental draft for this goof ball, 1992 Jim Druckenmiller, 1st round, 1997 J P Losman, 1st round, 2004 Josh Freeman, 1st round, 2009, couldn't stay away from the night life. Jake Locker, 1st round, 2011, injury and never really caught on to the NFL game. Certainly worse than Gabbert.
absolutely. We will never know how good Couch would have been since he was flat on his back on practucally every snap. No QB would survive the first two years of the "new Browns". Weeden was legit bad. Manziel was not good. But Couch had a chance with the right team.
King Baldwin IV If you look at alot of those QBs that were said to be bust probably would be starts today. Because now coaches are having to answer for some of the players flaws and nonsucess. I think Bill BELLICHECK has alot to do with that drafted a 6 rounder and making him a house hold name . Where as before coaches would force an offense a player and if he didn't grasp your offense he was a bust
like he said, the cowboys don't really have a true bust of a QB draftee, but DON is in their ring of honor for a reason.....don shouldn't be on this list
I would vote for Gary Hogeboom as the worst QB bust for the Cowboys. Dandy Don got them to within an inch of the first two Superbowls and was one of the main reasons they became a perennial winner in the 1960s.
I'd disagree on a few teams. I'd take Leinart over Jake Plummer, any day. Plummer suuuucked. 9 tds to 24 ints in his first year starting. Couch wasn't even close to as bad as Brandon Weeden. Weeden is possibly the worst QB drafted this decade, though Blaine Gabbert and Jimmy Clausen are close. EDIT: I did forget Nathan Peterman but I feel like this point still stands Jake Locker is much worse than Vince Young was, in fact Vince showed some serious promise on occasion and even won the 2005 OROY award. RG3 was OUTSTANDING as a rookie. Jason Campbell and Heath Shuler (definitely Shuler) were never even close to as exciting or productive as RG3. And btw, he did make the playoffs. Lastly, Paxton Lynch stinks. He's easily the worst QB Denver ever drafted, but barring him, Osweiller and Siemian were both much worse than Cutler as well.
Be honest - Tim Couch could have had John Elway's arm, Peyton Manning's poise, Barry Sanders' running ability, Leon Lett's strength, and Vince Lombardi's knowledge and strategy and he'd have finished in the last place with Cleveland. Couch taking the 1999 Cleveland Browns to a 2-14 season would be like taking the Steelers or the Seahawks to a 14-2 season.
Jimmy Clausen helped me win $500 when he was drafted. About 4 years before he was drafted on my break from work I bought a magazine about high school sports. It had Clausen on the cover as the number 1 high school football player in their senior year. I made a 4 year bet with a friend that Clausen would play in the NFL. He did, he sucked, but he still played.
Horrible list.... need to do more research. Bradford, while he's not great, he isn't a bust. Uncontrollable circumstances but seems to have turned it around. Also Meredith? Couch?
Dan Honney Yeah it’s probably a little unfair to consider him a bust, but he’s never been a good quarterback, even when healthy. There’s a reason he’s never led a team to the playoffs and there’s a reason he was benched so quickly in arizona.
Meredith was a tough QB who lead the Cowboys to 2 NFL Championships. You might wanna start with Quincy Carter dummy. Another RUclips Subject matter expert.
For the Dallas Cowboys, Quincy Carter should be the biggest QB bust. They drafted him in the 2nd round in 2001, where he played not great for part of 2001, 2002 and did get the Cowboys to 10-6 and a wild card playoff lose in 2003. Then he was released.
More credibility with correct pronunciation of Pete Beathard, Earl Morrall, Rick Mirer, Art Schlichter. Has this guy ever actually watched a football game?
He was their only 1st round quarterback pick other then Flacco and Jackson, to call him a bust is a bit crazy he never really had a chance to prove himself.
@@twelveounceartist Are You Talking About Kyle Boller? Because He Never Won A SuperBowl. And You Are Right About One Thing. We Only Had Jonathan Ogden At The Time Boller Started. Our Line Wasn't Shit Other Then Ogden. Can't Blame Boller For Not Having Time to Throw. But You Can Blame Him For Constantly Fumbling The Goddamn Snap.
I'm a Redskins fan and was shocked this child picked Dandy Don Meredith, knew this guy didn't know the NFL beyond the 2000 season. Our biggest bust was Heath Shuler.

1. Art Schlichter's last name is pronounced "Shleester", not "Shlickter".
2. Earl Morrall's last name is pronounced "Moral", not "Morale".
3. I don't consider Tim Couch and David Carr to be "busts". They were drafted first overall to expansion teams, and they just had no chance on most of their dropbacks.
TPS seriously? Green Bay’s bust isn’t Tony Manderich? We could have had Deion or Barry Sanders. But nope.
I disagree with about half of this list. Jake Lockler for Tennessee is a start. Johnny Manziel for Cleveland. Heath Schuler for Washington. Tommy Maddox in Denver. Seneca Wallace in Seattle. I can keep going.
Carr gets way too much hate. The guy had ZERO O-Line during his entire tenure.
Agreed, but it was going to be Carr, especially for a team by team analysis. That said, Carr had nothing even close to a working O-line and had almost no time to let anything develop. Once the team got better, the beating he took during his earlier years created problematic habits. Basically, his failure is more on the team as a whole than Carr individually.
There are quite a few QBs on here that shouldn’t be on this list.
Sam Bradford -> Tony Banks
Trent Dilfer -> Vinny Testaverde
Tim Couch -> Brady Quinn
Carr stayed on the run
It doesn’t matter if you have an o line mainly, johnny manziel had some of the best o line and he was absolutely trash
Well, to be fair, the Texans havent drafted too many high level Qb, prospects. Watson isnt exactly a bust, so Carr is going to be it
Tim Couch led the browns to the playoffs. Manziel is a much bigger bust than Couch
Johnny Manziel was the biggest bust ever! He was overrated in the draft!
Snellyea01 what did manziel actually do anyways.. run the ball in for a td and get overhyped
Snellyea01 I agree. There were a couple of these that were kind of dumb. Whoever made this list may need to study a little harder in the future lol
I'd say Couch was a bigger bust ONLY because he was a bust pre CBA, where 1st round picks got CRAZY paid. Other than that, Couch did outperform all the other qb draft picks

@@sportsfanatic2480 Yes he did. He was on the 2002 Cleveland Brown team when they were beat by the Steelers in the Wild Card.

That's true
thank u we said that already
The Browns fucked him over, Brady would be playing like Rattay with that team.
Yeah he was behind an expansion O-line ... Poor guy just got destroyed back there. He got sacked 56 times in 1999. FIFTY SIX
he also had a lot of comebacks.
In all fairness to David Carr, no QB could have succeeded behind that horrible O-Line that Houston put in front of him.
farakhhanif one quarterback saved their franchise and his name is matt scuab
Renal Faulkner Jr No Schaub didn’t come close to saving them.
Renal Faulkner Jr Arian foster brought him to the playoffs twice
Look at that O-Line be bad for Carr. Looks at David’s young brother Derek. Look at him get injured.
It seems you don’t want Carr as your last name for QBs.
I agree with you fully. Carr doesn’t deserve the criticism he’s getting being on that trash team. But based on the list they made, he’s the only top drafted qb (too early to judge Watson) in the Texans’ history
To be fair, David Carr had arguably the worst line in history.
and maybe couch kubuiak had few good qbs that he ruined wins superbowl with peyton next year quits should tell you something
I don't think it's even arguable. It was the worst line ever.
Jets offensive line: hold my beer
Tim couch also had nothing to work with
Carr trashhhhhhh
RG3 is all time bust for Redskins??? I disagree.... That title belongs to Heath Shuler
we had another bust ...wasn't a QB...but we drafted a OL that I don't even think made the team in the early 90's
I have to agree with you on Heath Shuler
Amen... Heath Shuler was absolutely terrible and made it like 3 years in the league. Barely even played for us. He was supposed to bring the franchise back to glory.
Anthony Bee I disagree. The Redskins traded a whole lot to move up to the second overall pick for RG3. To get the short window of great play that they did makes this a bust.
When you get replaced by a sixth round pick.... Who also got cut? Yeah, definitely Shuler
Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.
DC C don't forget Al took the bears to the Superbowl.
And don't forget that as good as Bundy was at Polk High, he was a total bust in the CFL for the Rough Riders

It was never David Carr’s fault as a bust, it was the own Texans fault for not giving him protection.

The Goat very true
Agreed. I would say Tom Savage was a bigger bust than Carr
Agreed
juanrosales2014 True but Schaub was hyped up even more than Savage
Me: Gee I think Ryan Leaf is the biggest QB bust!
Jamarcus Russell: Hold my purple drank and watch this.
And yet he is still fat
No, I'm sorry Ryan leaf and akili Smith beat out jemarcus Russell. Smith threw 5 touchdowns in 22 games! Lead threw the most interceptions than anybody in the same time frame.
Russell wasnt the biggest bust since he had legit talent but we had a bad OL and he didnt care about football.
I would say the biggest bust couldnt play well even if the rest of the team was really good.
He still is a bust but I still believe with a better OL and wrs and if he cared enough to stay in shape and be great he would of been good.
Look up Eddie Lacy he cost himself millions of dollars because he stopped caring about football and staying in shape.
Both of them had a lot of talent and just didnt care that much.
Tim Couch was not the biggest QB bust for the Browns; Johnny Manziel was. The 1999 Browns were an expansion team, and Couch was thrown to the wolves with no offensive line no premier receivers.
Couch was an expansion team starter, of course he's not going to deliver like a regular pro QB, especially if the expansion team is run as badly as the Browns were
A lot of this list is not well thought out.
Washington’s was Heath Shuler. 4 seasons in Washington 15 TD’s 33 INT’s
RGIII 3 seasons in Washington. 43 TD’s 26 INT’s.
TDs and INTs can be a really biased stat though.Some players literally throw ints because the OL sucks or the OC is stupid.
When Mitch was on the Bears I remember he threw a perfect td pass and the wr dropped it in the endzone.It was a really easy pass to catch.
Healthy RG3 was too good to call him a bust
@@lawrencewalraven5137 problem was he was almost never healthy. Luck got hurt because the colts refused to do anything with their line for his entire tenure. Rg3 got hurt because his style of play is highly risky and the coaches allowed him to play despite being already injured
Couch got Cleveland to the playoffs. He should be in the Hall of Fame for that deed. Your list is invalid.
LOL! Good point. Actually the list for biggest QB bust for Cleveland should really read, "All of them."
firebird65
o o I guess that makes Charlie Frye the GOAT for taking them to 10-6 record
Your memory is a little off. The Browns went 4-12 during Frye's lone full season as starting QB (2006). When the Browns went 10-6 in 2007, Frye started the opening week against the Steelers, faltered and was replaced by Derek Anderson. Frye was then traded to the Seahawks before the Browns week 2 game against the Seahawks. Anderson started the rest of the 2007 season, so he, not Frye, is, therefore, the GOAT. Right idea, wrong QB. But then there have been so many in Cleveland since 1999 it's certainly understandable they could be confused as they all tend to look and sound alike after awhile.
That was actually kelly Holcomb
C'mon man... David Carr was on an expansion team with lineman playing on roller skates and pop warner talent at the skill position. He ran for his life on every play.
And Dallas? Don Meredithin the 3rd? Dude Steve Walsh! 1989 1st round pick in the supplemental round.
Jay Cutler over Tommy Maddox or Tebow?
Tim Couch over Johnny Manziel?
VY for the Titans? A two time pro bowler and ROY? Jake Locker over him and MAYBE Mariota over both soon...
Do you even football bro?
Not really a bust for Dallas considering they received first, second and third round draft picks when he was traded to NO.
@@israteeg752 Jesus dude he is a bust as a highly drafted NFL player. Good god man. Thats what the point of my argument is you mook!
I agree with you. David Carr never had a chance to develop with the worst offensive line in football. It's such a shame his career was over before it started.
@@eduardohuerta5460 yes sir, you literally hit every nail on the head every Houston and TBH all Texans know...
Things werent the same cor the Texans when the Jags amd Panthers formed.... They and the "New Browns" got outright gain that was withheld for a statistical advantage . so there....
You are the mook dude. Goes without saying Steve Walsh was a bust, just not for Dallas because the Cowboys got back the draft pick they invested in him and more when he was traded just after one single year. That was my point. Steve Walsh did his damage in New Orleans! Got it? If you want to make a counterpoint about a QB who busted for the Cowboys think of someone else. Like Quincy Carter, for instance.
How could Couch be a bigger bust than Manziel??
At least Couch played (and even won a few) games for the Browns.
Manziel played very little and flat out sucked.
Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden are bigger busts than Couch.
Mike Phipps was a bigger bust.
He was probably the best q.v. ever drafted duh
Lmao the guy who made this video is probably one of those johnny manziel fans that think hes coming back 😂😂😂
He was the FIRST overall pick, not in the 20s
When the Chiefs drafted Pete Beathard they still had Len Dawson in his prime and fresh off an AFL championship victory. They had no real intention of making Pete a starter. The REAL all-time Chiefs QB bust was Todd Blackledge. Taken with the 7th overall pick in 1983(the greatest qb draft ever) he was cut after 5 years. He had only 5,000 career passing yards and 29tds vs 38ints.
Don Meredith was NOT a bust. He was the QB that helped get the Cowboys from a a bad expansion team to a contender. He made 3 pro bowls! Quincy Carter is the Cowboys' QB bust.
Raleigh Sanford I didn’t get that one either
Carter was drafted in the 2nd round though.
Exactly. This guy did ZERO research
Agreed!
Stephen H and Dandy Don was drafted in the third. What’s your point?
Once again, you're being unfair to Tim Couch (and David Carr). No rookie quarterback could hope to succeed on an expansion franchise with no supporting cast. And surely Johnny Manziel was the Browns' biggest bust?
lomax343 no Johnny was 22nd but Tim was 1st overall
@ Aarnav Kolli - I don't accept that reasoning. It's true that a higher pick comes with a higher expectation, but a player's draft position is only one consideration among many. Sure, if Manziel had been a fourth-round speculative pick, then I wouldn't rate him so highly as a bust (er - you know what I mean). But a first-rounder is expected to produce whether he's taken first or thirty-second.
Manziel had a better supporting cast than Couch. Couch put the effort in where Manziel partied. And Couch did lead the Browns to the play-offs in 2002. Manziel is by far the bigger bust.
lomax343 I agree but in Carr's case, who else could they have picked for the Texans on the list?
@ Longnecked Giraffes - You have a point. Perhaps the Texans should've been filed under Pending.
lomax343 so what doesn't matter. 1st overall pick was david carr. Yes may be different Sport but look at My Las Vegas Golden Knights. Expansion team 1st year in league and were 3rd best team in league and just swept the kings in 1st round of playoffs now off to san jose for round 2!! Thats bs reason in my opinion
David Carr also played with the worst offensive line in NFL history!!
Zachary Bell facts , he was the most sacked QB ever
Ya
He might have been good with a OL..no way his brother is better than him.
Yeah man I agree, that wasn't fair.
Agreed, I think he would've done better somewhere else, I at least thought deserved another chance
It seems like Tim couch was the best of the shitty browns QBs he should of said johnny manziel
Couch was used in a QB Drill VHS I saw in high school. In one drill, he would drop back and throw fades into a trash can 30 yards away. The guy had great skill coming out of college.
Don Meredith a bust? No way! He was a rookie with the expansion Cowboys in their first season, and he grew with them as the management methodically built them into a top contender. He was All-Pro his final three seasons.
This list is a joke
KB Hornblower dandy Don Meredith!
Agreed for Dallas I would have put Quincy carter instead .
Especially when Chad Hutchison exists.
Quincy Carter called and would like a word with this list.
By your criteria, I expected you to choose Steve Young as Tampa Bay's bust.
To be clear, what I meant is that, IMO, you place far too much emphasis on career success AFTER the QB left the team that drafted him.
SteVE GANja How about Jameis Winston? I thought Dilfer was more reliable than Winston
Josh Freeman
Steve Bryant you are correct. I’m upset that Plunkett on this list.
You spelled "Vinnie Testaverde" wrong
RGIII wasn’t a bust- Mike Shanahan was the bust. Who else continues to let a running qb with a bad knee play until he gets destroyed? Coaches to some degree have to protect players from themselves (like concussion protocol). Mike Shanahan ruined RGIII
robalabama Dan Snyder is the cause of that dilemma. Shanahan wanted to take him out but....
RG3 needs to learn how to slide. The NFL isn't Baylor or the Big 12 where they play no defense.
Exactly
ruclips.net/video/MinffEsqk2c/видео.html
Shanahan explains the situation here.
Bill O'Brien may end up doing the same thing to DeShaun Watson.
49ers.... Giovanni Carmazzi same draft class as Tom Brady
Omg I barely remember this guy but yeah lol. Wow!
Steve Spurrier
Gio was a 3rd round pick.People in the 3rd round and lower are not expected to be good.The 49ers didnt need Gio or Tom Brady since Jeff Garcia was already on the team and would make many pro bowls in the future and cost the team no draft pick at all.
David Carr was never that bad. can't get sacked 50 times a season
He was sacked over 70 times his rookie season 4 1/2 every game.
Arturo Montenora,
Ouchie!
Deshaun Watson has to deal with it. Stuck around and chose to let the past get the best of him. That's still on him.
Not great not a bust.
@@Shahmar you shouldn't be blamed for your team's failure. He showed alot of improvement but the line never improved, you see how getting hit 4 times a game would mentally fuck you up especially knowing you were gonna get hit from your blindside.
You guys have no clue. I'll give 1 example of your ignorance. You named Don Meredith as the Cowboy QB bust over former Georgia QB Quincy Carter who was drafted higher and never had anything close to Meredith's success.
Totally agree
"You guys have no clue."
Agreed, but I figured that out a long time ago. These guys are ignorant and lazy when it comes to their research. Justin is the worst, as his video about critiquing professional sports mascots just shows his and the group's incompetence and laziness when it comes to research. That's why I will not subscribe to their channel. Every so often, they do produce an interesting video that might interest me like this one.
Don Meredith was a 1st rounder, Carter was a 2nd. But still, Don Meredith
made 3 Pro Bowls and took the cowboys to the playoff. Pretty stupid to put the bust label on the guy.
Robert Estep, I'd include Drew Henson and Chad Hutchinson in your argument too. Even though I don't think the Cowboys drafted either of them. But I remember us giving up some picks or something like that for these two former baseball players, they were horrible compared to Meredith, hell compared to anyone.
Hogeboom?
At least Tim couch started. Manziel just didn’t show up to practice
The goat doesn’t need practice... just give him a lil “pick me up” before the game Sunday.... 👃 ❄️
Broncos: Tommy Maddox. Pats: Tony Eason. Jets: Geno Smith. 49ers: Jim Druckenmiller. Titans: Jake Locker.
Both Tebow and Lynch were huge Bronco draft busts
Eason at least had a few playoff runs. Maddox had a surprise comeback with the Steelers in 2002.
@AVERY HUEBEL and now Tebow plays baseball...I think. He had a couple of crazy victories, which were arguable flukes, and don't forget that the team in question had some talent and was well coached...the Teboe never did anything else...so yeah bust...
49ers was Giovanni Carmazzi he was #2 pick overall
@@MacMyKitty LOL no
The worst quarterback in Broncos history Is Paxton Lynch
I kind of think it was Trevor Semian.
TheAlloutGamer 2001 um do u even watch football???
For Denver, a 4 way tie, between Tebow, Siemian, Lynch, and Keenum.
Brian Kistner no, fuckin Lynch is the worst.
Brian Kistner Osweiler???
If Tim Couch had a better team and didn’t get sacked 60 plus times a year he could of been healthy and we might be talking about Tim differently
Johnny Manziel and Brady Quinn were bigger draft busts than Tim Couch.
agree
David Reynolds agreed
Sixshot257 - Brandon Weeden is too.
Sam Bradford to me shouldn't be on here. He is good but he isn't great but definitely not a bust.
Kenneth Devillier Guess just for what was expected of him, also, very injury-prone.
Oh trust me ik. It seems so promising but falls flat every good year he gets.
Russell Wilson should be the goat when it comes to the end of his career, hall of fame included, because he is Mr X Factor
Nah. I watched every Vikings game in 2016 (generally considered Bradford's best season) and he was not impressive. He had a high completion percentage and a good TD-INT ratio because he dumped everything off to pad his stats
Gregory Haynes That's not what I'm talking about though. It would be 3rd and 16 and he'd have a rceiver downfield with 3 steps on the DB, but he'd still check it down to the running back every time. He ranked 30th in yards per completion that year
As a Rams fan, I’m actually a little insulted by this. You chose Sam Bradford over Tony Banks? I literally watched games where Banks would fumble the snap on multiple occasions. It gets worse too.
14-29 record
36 TDs
42 INTs
Not to mention the guy had a major attitude like Leaf did. Sorry Mike, but Tony Banks is the biggest QB draft bust for the Rams. 🤷🏻♂️
yeh i was expecting it to be Banks
As a Vikings fan I can confirm Sam Bradford was far from a “bust”.
@@STEVEHEROLD Banks was a journeyman from the worst quarterback draft for at least twenty years.
One reason why I think that there should be a list of worst quarterback drafts ever is that such things as the 0-26 Buccaneers, the massive hype over Leaf, the 2-30 Lions and 6-42 Rams, and the 1-31 Browns followed upon terrible quarterback drafts and could potentially be related to them. If those teams had had available better quarterback classes - like if the Texans had began with the remarkably good 2004 and 2005 quarterback drafts or the Buccaneers with the 1971 or 1973 classes - they would have fared better at inception.
Tim Couch is the best QB the Browns have had since reforming. Have you heard of Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden, or Johnny Manziel?
Nick Schulte Baker mayfield
FallenKams look at how long ago that I wrote that. It was before Baker had really shown anything on field, even now, he’s been good for part of one season. Kapernick led the 49ers to a super bowl before busting.
@@nickschulte3915 True. But I've got a feeling Mayfield is the real deal. Browns are on the upward trend
Slab Bulkhead I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s not a lack of faith in Baker, it’s a lack of faith in the Browns.
Agreed!
Your Rick Mirer footage from the draft was of Drew Bledsoe.
Vince Young a bust after two pro bowls playoff births and cover of madden. This list is a joke
@Random Person wouldnt call him a bust...But sure as hell wasnt Elite
Anthony Clayton. I agree he wasn't a bust. His biggest problem was he had a coach that didn't want him.
You think two pro bowls is an impressive resume??
@@careyunknown3449 To be fair there was elite QBs in AFC for his time in Tennesse...Brady,Manning,Rivers was always A shoe in
Did you not listen to what he said? Most of these guys are DRAFT busts, not overall busts. They were busts for the teams that drafted them, not for the teams the ended up having success with.
It wasnt Vince Young’s fault that Jeff Fisher killed his career
I saw .....but in the end he did kill his career . He saved his job during that time .
Smith & Wesson so how much success outside of McNair has fisher had with QBs.?! He’s an awful offensive mind and should have never been anything other than a D-coordinator
Fisher was horrible
@@brandone869 North horrible, he was mediocre. A literal .500 win percentage. He may actually be worse than terrible, he gives you hope that you can get over the hump while history shows he has been good enough to not be fired.
So true...Jeff Fisher almost killed Jared Goff career also
A 2 time pro bowler a draft bust? Hey brah, can you introduce me to your drug dealer?
Thank you bro
He gotta be on some shit
So Jake Locker was less of a bust than Vince Young? How? I don't care how much hype there is around him, he was a 2 time pro bowler and led them to the playoffs like you said. Jake Locker did literally nothing. I don't understand that one.
Cfish0031 my sentiments exactly!! VY won Rookie of the Year and made the cover of Madden..Jake Locker was dookie smh
People just forget Locker was picked so high and quit on football after leaving Tennessee. If Vince Young had more structure without Jeff Fisher running things then maybe he would still be in the league.
Killer Samson78 the dude couldn’t make the Saskatchewan Roughriders last year, who at the time, were the worst team in the cfl.
But at least he is still relevant and butchered Harold Landry's name at the draft lol
Cfish0031 ii
Johnny Manzel was a bust
MSpin _05 cause he couldn’t stop partying
Most sold jersey of all time? I’d say that is good enough 😂
You could’ve chose Manziel or Weeden but you chose Couch. Trash list
Or you coyld just name the browns as a whole.
Jack Johnson Tim Couch was the only QB before baker to bring them to the playoffs.
Jay cutler and sam bradford dont belong on this list. They both are average nfl qb, not busts.
Not to mention Cutler at the time was improving under Mike Shanahan and did have a productive season in in his final year with the Broncos.
With the money that they made in the league, especially cutler in Chicago, yeah they’re bust
Bradford never had a team that could protect him
Cutler does but Bradford really a starting QB on the cardinals he did good for himself but cutler I totally get ya on that one
Jamari Riddick Chicago never gave him the right enough weapons, shitty terrible O-line too.
Jake Locker is the Titans biggest bust. He played just 4 years, and was made of glass!!! He couldn’t stay healthy, was wildly inaccurate, and did far less than VY. At least Young made two pro bowls and won ROY. Jake Locker should’ve been on this list. Do more research next time bro.
REGALITY4LIFE Agreed
This guy doesn't know Richard about busts. What a simp!!
Johnny Manziel way more of a bust than Couch
No
L.O.P. Sports & Philosophy Agreed
@@JoiRandom yes
I can see drafting Couch high...not Manziel...his type of play rarely translates into NFL success...
Couch wasn't as bad. Never had an O Line
I know these are only draft busts but seeing Mcnown, Cutler and Randy Orton all get mentioned, you could do an entire video on how bad my bears qbs have been. Weve been a step up from the old brown for years but out defense always bails us out and somehow we finish at least 8-8 every season.
Jake Locker is worse than Vince Young.
Amen I'd take Young any day over Locker
Shane Edwards at least we got two decent years and a madden cover from Vince Young.
@@JohnConstantly bad coaching and a temper cost Young he would've been pretty dam good with discipline
Exactly.. at least Young made two pro bowls
Pro Bowls are a Fan Vote... Doesn't mean shit anymore lmaooo
Jay Cutler 12 seasons played in the NFL. 35k+ yards. 200+ TDs.
A bunch of franchise records. = A bust? Really?
They trippin
Ikr
Dumbass, he only played 3 seasoms for the team who drafted him and didn't go to the playoffs either of the seasons.
That's a bust.
Most of that was with the bears not broncos, i take your point though, he certainly is not our worst qb bust, paxton lynch is, terrible
Broken Wave It wasn’t because of poor play. He and new had coach Josh McDaniels butted heads and that’s why he was traded.
I will never forgive Mike Shanahan for playing RGIII
I'm not a redskins fan, but I will definitely agree on that, Shanahan ruined him.
Pretty sure it was a Dan Snyder/RGIII call to play RGIII until he broke. Shanahan wanted nothing to do with RGIII and that trade, thats why he drafted Cousins in the 6th round of the same draft.
4th Round, but yeah he definitely preferred Cousins.
Shanahan made the dumbest decision to start an injured RG III against the Legion of Boom. Im a hawks fan and I could not believe they started him. I actually felt sorry for RG III. Hell even after he took that big hit, Shanahan had the chance to pull him, but no. . . . and we all watch that knee buckle and his career die that day.
I’ll Neva forgive him for takin Jake Plummer out to put in Jay Cutler
should’ve picked Kevin Kolb as the Eagles draft bust.
The Cards traded for him. He sucked in Arizona too
Woah woah woah. Vince young not Jake locker. Vince got the rookie of the year award and 2 pro bowls. And Jake Locker was out of the NFL after 3 years.
Dead Red right i was thinking the same thing
Dead Red i said the exact same thing lol
The Lions all time bust was Andre Ware Heisman winner first round bust
He was really terrible........just terrible.
Just saw this comment, I posted same thing lol
Let’s not forget chuck long , add him to the list too
* hard being a lions fan
Bad when we gotta defend Joey
The biggest busts are the guys you think are gonna be great players. The Lions thought Andre Ware was destined for greatness..........
If I see Ryan tannheil on this list
I’m going to pour milk before the cereal
LMAO
11:37 The draft picture you used for Rick Mirer was actually Drew Bledsoe. He's even holding a Patriots jersey. Tighten up.
Bruh Chill
Before Jamarcus Russell, there was Todd Marinovich for the Raiders.
Great point and Todd was bust. He was groomed all his life to be a QB.
As a broncos fan I think Paxton lynch was a bigger bust than cutler was !!!!
This some bs
I'm with you there, I would of rather had Brad Lee Van Pelt then Paxton ;)
@@josepadilla469 Just checked. He was cut, so...yeah.
Him and Tommy Maddox were worse than Cutler
What about Tebow? Yeah he won 1 playoff game (thanks to Thomas) but the guy had no business being in the NFL. Cutler was at least a decent QB and Lynch looked like a QB at times but Tebow was a glorified running back, and a shitty one at that.
Vince Young!!??
No try Jake Locker
You're on the money there, I think he picked young because Vince carried a lot of drama
100% agree jake was one that had the potential going into the draft that never showed up. VY had a few good years before falling off.
Yeah.
vince young had more hype around his name so they probably put him in because there were more expectations
Vince Young was the 3rd overall pick and was the biggest bust for the Titans. Locker is #2 lol.
At least the Titans didn't draft Paxton Lynch and Brock Osweiler. My Broncos love drafting trash. Locker and Young did a lot better than those guys
In David Carrs defense he was sacked 72, and 76 times in his first 2 seasons
Those offensive lines were awful and he had no RB or WR till Arian Foster and Andre Johnson
@@jessedeleon4123 Foster wasn't even in the league until like 5 years after Carr was already out of Houston and Andre Johnson got drafted the year after Carr.
I use the same defense for Tim Couch. I think if he had any sort of a line he might have been OK. I don't think he would be worthy of where he was picked but he also wouldn't be a bust.
It didn't stop Deshon Watson!
@@dontdoittoyoself6786 David Carr is not the athletic FREAK Deshaun Watson is. Most pocket style QB's would have struggled in HTown for those years.
Nice analysis. Too many people think NFL history begins in 2000. You looked farther back.
What about Heath Schuler for the Redskins? At least Griffin accomplished some stuff before those injuries.
Rg3 good but it's the injury
RG3 at least showed he could've been good under different circumstances. Schuler at #3 was a bust from day one.
Tim Couch before Jonny Manziel? I know Couch was number 1 overall but come on, 64TD-67INT isn't that bad. There is some production there at least. Plus out of all the Cleveland QB's I would think Couch was one of the subpar ones, not awful.
Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden are bigger QB draft bust than Tim Couch.
I would definitely agree! There is just so many options with Cleveland.
Cleveland has drafted like shit since they re-entered the league in 1999. Aside from Joe Thomas and Joe Haden, most everyone the Browns have drafted has been horrid. One would think that having 2 first round picks every year and 3 picks in the top 50 picks that they would have built a contender by now.
You're exactly right and that completely falls on the GM and owner. I root for Cleveland each year because I try to root for the underdog and I feel bad for the true fan base. It's sad. They are likely going to overthink their picks this year and end up taking guys who will be bust too.
he never heard of manziel either
Heath Shuler was the biggest QB bust in Washington.
And replaced by Gus Frerotte
This video and this style is what I like as a favorite, I like to look back in history and see what each team did.
Quincy Carter was way worse than Don Meredith
LASTOLYMPIAN yea I was waiting for it to either be Quincy or at least “honorable mention” Chad Hutchinson or Drew Henson
Meredith wasn't bad at all. 3 time pro bowler, led his team to the NFL championship game twice, it's not his fault he was drafted by an expansion team.
B Mashburn, Hutchinson and Henson weren’t drafted.
LASTOLYMPIAN, that’s a good suggestion.
Correct. Henson was a huge bust even while at Michigan. Having a cannon for an arm doesn't automatically = good qb.
So you ain't gonna talk about Heath Shuler for the Redskins?
I don't think this guy did his homework.
I don’t think they gave up as much to get him tho
This guy is clown shoes
the skins are the problem
Colt Mcoy
This list is awful. How do you even call Dandy Don a bust when Quincey Carter was drafted earlier and couldn’t stay sober. Tim Couch was the best QB the Browns have had since Bernie Kosar. He just had no o-line and got injured. Definitely no bust.
Naa mayfield was better than couch
WTF? Jay Cutler was a worse #1 over Tim Tebow? Do your homework people.
brandon smith Tim Tebow won them a playoff game
Tebow won a playoff against the defending champs Bro.
Cutler could’ve went to the Super Bowl by beating Green Bay if he didn’t act like a bitch.
brandon smith and do your homework.
To be called “bust” you have to have high expectations entering the league. Tebow didn’t have that so technically anything he did bad wasn’t a shock.
@@6foot8aquarius Tebow was a 2 time national champ and won player of the year. So yeah, I'm pretty sure he had high expectations. The guy was a glorified running back and couldn't throw for shit. Cutler could at least play the quarterback position. And the only reason they won that playoff game was because of Demarius Thomas. Yeah, I did my homework.
brandon smith NOBODY gave Tebow a chance in hell in the league. The Broncos coach at the time Josh McDaniel was remmed for drafting Tebow in the first round when he was projected to be a 3rd or 4th rounder. Just because you got stats in college doesn’t mean your transition to the league will be seamless.
Besides Cam Newton & Carson Palmer are the ONLY decent Pro Bowl Heisman QB’s to play in the NFL. Name me 3 more?
Vince wasn't a bust. He won ROY, two pro bowls and achieved the playoffs. His career was ruined by an injury and terrible coaching.
He didn’t always help himself let’s not pretend he was always civil with the front office
Jake Locker was a bigger draft bust for the Titans than VY...
Pete Beathard was not a bust. He was drafted by KC to be Len Dawson's backup. When Dawson didn't get injured in his first 3 seasons he was traded for Ernie "Big Cat" Ladd, a hall of famer. In the 1983 Draft Todd Blackledge was drafted by the Chiefs 7th overall the 2nd quarterback taken after only John Elway. He played 46 games and threw for 29 tds and 38 interceptions. He was chosen before quarterbacks like Jim Kelly and Dan Marino. For him not to be listed but a guy who was drafted to be a backup is, is a total disgrace.
And mispronouncing his name. Brutal
Not to mention we never drafted a first round QB after that until Mahomes.
JaMarcus showing up to training camp obese was just hilarious
A rookie of the year (Robert Griffin III) can't be a draft bust when injuries & suspect coaching derailed his career. Have you ever heard of Heath Shuler the no. 5 pick of the 95 draft who eventually was replaced by a 7th rd pick (Gus Ferrotte) from the same draft who went on to have a 10 plus year career. Also, you butchered some of those quarterbacks names, Schlicter, Morrall, Bethard.
these lazy ass youtubers dont do any homework.
As a 40 - odd years Washington fan, I couldn't agree with you and the other comment more. Shuler was awful.
It was sad when Robert Griffin lll was made to play despite having a knee injury. What kind of coach would play a young QB with a knee injury, Not even Lombardi would do that.
Uh, I think JP Losman and even Trent Edwards were worst QBs for Buffalo than EJ Manuel ever was.
lxmalcolm exactly
lxmalcolm Trent was a freaking third 3rd pick so what do u expect. As for LOSSman, his name says it all
vince young SERIOUSLY 2 time probowler with MY TITANS and he is the worst we going to ignore Jake Locker no pro bowls sorry and a disappointment
Both were busts but Vince young was more of one because they expected more
Gamer Extraodernair both were Top 10 first round Picks bro they expected just as much both were scene as a project VY wasn’t a bust compared to Locker
@@dmoneyyoungtex92 VY was thought to be much more talented and a lot of people thought has a higher ceiling.
Vince young had a great record as a starter as well. I thought Jake locker would for sure be the titans biggest QB bust
Yes locker sucked lol
Why do I keep watching theses videos!!?? I disagree with 97.3% of everything they say but I'm somewhat addicted.
Don Meredith took the Cowboys to the NFL Title game two years in a row only to lose to Green Bay. One of his toughest losses was in th Ice Bowl.. Try again...
Can you say Steve Pelluer?
That should tell you how great the QB's were in Dallas history..
It took him 7 years to get there. Compared to others on this list, he was one of the best, but compared to other Cowboy picks, no.
This isnt comparing all picks though. Its only comparing quarterbacks who went in the first couple rounds..
Apparently these clowns forgot about Quincy Carter. The biggest Trainwreck that Dallas ever had
redskins Heath Shuler was worse than RGIII
This list is a bust....Did not come close to my expectations!!!!!!
Both RG3's in my lifetime (Rex Grossman and Griffin) had bad luck with injuries. It's odd they ended up playing together.
How was Johnny Football not worse than Tim Couch? Couch managed 5 years. He still works for them.
Carr set consecutive times-sacked years. They literally were bringing in tackles during game week that were to START that week. They were woeful!
Do you really count guys as a bust that were more than good enough to be successful elsewhere?
No Heath Shuler for the Redskins!?! 3rd overall, 1st QB, 1994, did nothing.
You have to put Geno Smith and his short tenure as worse than Todd. What about Browning Nagle?
Andre Ware, 1st round, 1990
Dan McGwire, 1st round, 1991 (did nothing)
Todd Marinovitch, 1st round, 1991 (you were right with Russell, just worth noting)
Dave Brown, Giants spent a 1st rounder in the supplemental draft for this goof ball, 1992
Jim Druckenmiller, 1st round, 1997
J P Losman, 1st round, 2004
Josh Freeman, 1st round, 2009, couldn't stay away from the night life.
Jake Locker, 1st round, 2011, injury and never really caught on to the NFL game. Certainly worse than Gabbert.
Couch had a TERRIBLE supporting cast (coaches included). Still managed decent stats.
Sean Eskridge, very true and excellent point.
absolutely. We will never know how good Couch would have been since he was flat on his back on practucally every snap. No QB would survive the first two years of the "new Browns". Weeden was legit bad. Manziel was not good. But Couch had a chance with the right team.
King Baldwin IV If you look at alot of those QBs that were said to be bust probably would be starts today. Because now coaches are having to answer for some of the players flaws and nonsucess. I think Bill BELLICHECK has alot to do with that drafted a 6 rounder and making him a house hold name . Where as before coaches would force an offense a player and if he didn't grasp your offense he was a bust
King Baldwin IV you forgot dan McGuires claim to fame his brother mark lol
Hello Tommy Maddox for the Broncos!! Andre Ware for the Lions!!How old was the person that made this list?
I'm going to have to defend Tommy Maddox. He did win the Super Bowl in 2005 as the Steelers' starting quarterback. So he did redeem himself.
Quincy Carter would like a word with you about that Don Maradith pick for the Cowboys.
DJG's Random Ish I agree
yeah the other 17.
What was Steve Walsh supposed to be? Chopped liver?
Two words to dispute your Lions pick: Andre Ware.
I thought the same thing
Bro calling don meridith a bust is the most ignorant shit I’ve ever heard
MAVS 4113 I agree totally, before my time but I know he wasn't a bust, surely they are aware of Steve Pueller & Quincy Carter.
Don Meredith >>> Quincy Carter
Statement is ridiculous beyond belief. Maybe this guy's youth explains the crazy choice.
like he said, the cowboys don't really have a true bust of a QB draftee, but DON is in their ring of honor for a reason.....don shouldn't be on this list
I would vote for Gary Hogeboom as the worst QB bust for the Cowboys. Dandy Don got them to within an inch of the first two Superbowls and was one of the main reasons they became a perennial winner in the 1960s.
I'd disagree on a few teams.
I'd take Leinart over Jake Plummer, any day. Plummer suuuucked. 9 tds to 24 ints in his first year starting.
Couch wasn't even close to as bad as Brandon Weeden. Weeden is possibly the worst QB drafted this decade, though Blaine Gabbert and Jimmy Clausen are close. EDIT: I did forget Nathan Peterman but I feel like this point still stands
Jake Locker is much worse than Vince Young was, in fact Vince showed some serious promise on occasion and even won the 2005 OROY award.
RG3 was OUTSTANDING as a rookie. Jason Campbell and Heath Shuler (definitely Shuler) were never even close to as exciting or productive as RG3. And btw, he did make the playoffs.
Lastly, Paxton Lynch stinks. He's easily the worst QB Denver ever drafted, but barring him, Osweiller and Siemian were both much worse than Cutler as well.
Forgot about Brandon Weeden, lol.
Titans should’ve been Jake Locker
matthew janis what I put
Nah Vince was the right choice here. Locker didn't get half the hype that he got.
I was saying the same thing
matthew janis It's a shame he got injured so much, he wasn't bad the few times he was healthy.
matthew janis agreed
Be honest - Tim Couch could have had John Elway's arm, Peyton Manning's poise, Barry Sanders' running ability, Leon Lett's strength, and Vince Lombardi's knowledge and strategy and he'd have finished in the last place with Cleveland. Couch taking the 1999 Cleveland Browns to a 2-14 season would be like taking the Steelers or the Seahawks to a 14-2 season.
Vince young.As we all know Jeff Fisher doesn't know how to coach QB we thought Goff was going to be a bust.Vince young shouldn't be on list.
I disagree with your take on the Browns... statistically speaking, Couch was among the better qbs. Manziel was decidedly worse
Manziel was an unmitigated disaster as quarterback. Plus his life outside the NFL was in complete disarray.
Couch at least had heart and pride. He just played for the wrong team and wrong coach.
Heath Shuler Washington Redskins
That's what i said above to the kid who made this video.
Shuler is the biggest bust of all time! Yeah I think he is even worse than Leaf & Russell!
Jimmy Clausen helped me win $500 when he was drafted. About 4 years before he was drafted on my break from work I bought a magazine about high school sports. It had Clausen on the cover as the number 1 high school football player in their senior year.
I made a 4 year bet with a friend that Clausen would play in the NFL. He did, he sucked, but he still played.
top 10 worst questions asked by reporters to athletes.
Horrible list.... need to do more research. Bradford, while he's not great, he isn't a bust. Uncontrollable circumstances but seems to have turned it around. Also Meredith? Couch?
Dan Honney
Yeah it’s probably a little unfair to consider him a bust, but he’s never been a good quarterback, even when healthy.
There’s a reason he’s never led a team to the playoffs and there’s a reason he was benched so quickly in arizona.
Wow, Don Meredith was far from a bust. Drafted to an expansion team and eventually got them to championship games.
especially after Quincy Carter......, Dandy Don was the man!
Meredith was a tough QB who lead the Cowboys to 2 NFL Championships. You might wanna start with Quincy Carter dummy. Another RUclips Subject matter expert.
Dude has Jim plunkett on here to ehat a joke
dandy don
@@antonewilson4310 Two NFL championship games plus a divisional title in 1968.
For the Dallas Cowboys, Quincy Carter should be the biggest QB bust. They drafted him in the 2nd round in 2001, where he played not great for part of 2001, 2002 and did get the Cowboys to 10-6 and a wild card playoff lose in 2003. Then he was released.
More credibility with correct pronunciation of Pete Beathard, Earl Morrall, Rick Mirer, Art Schlichter. Has this guy ever actually watched a football game?
Sean M Yea he obviously doesn’t know the correct pronunciation of those players.
I thought the same thing. He displays such an ignorance of the game when he screws up such simple things.
You can’t win a Super Bowl and be a bust. This list is factually incorrect
But could you bust and then win a super bowl or two?
He was their only 1st round quarterback pick other then Flacco and Jackson, to call him a bust is a bit crazy he never really had a chance to prove himself.
Yes you can
@@WarDaddy66 Yes, that basically sums up Joe Namath's career
@@twelveounceartist Are You Talking About Kyle Boller? Because He Never Won A SuperBowl. And You Are Right About One Thing. We Only Had Jonathan Ogden At The Time Boller Started. Our Line Wasn't Shit Other Then Ogden. Can't Blame Boller For Not Having Time to Throw. But You Can Blame Him For Constantly Fumbling The Goddamn Snap.
"Dandy" Don Meredith doesnt belong on this list.
youre right. quincy carter does. and steve walsh. and drew henson.
Quincey Carter does
I'm a Redskins fan and was shocked this child picked Dandy Don Meredith, knew this guy didn't know the NFL beyond the 2000 season. Our biggest bust was Heath Shuler.
For Dallas Cowboys I would say Steve Pelluer. He was 8-19 as a starter for the Cowboys.
Dandy Don was also playing for an expansion team when expansion teams were bad for a long time.
