Yes, RGIII is a bust, but with an asterisk. The outcome is the same, but he falls into a slightly different category. Plenty of other players came back from the same injury and were successful; Adrian Peterson and Rob Gronkowski are good examples.
Gronk and AP played in way better run organizations than RGIII. RGIII could have thrived if he found a starting spot in a team like the Niners, Ravens, Steelers or Eagles. Not his fault.
yeah no RGIII isnt a bust, dont care about that asterisk you wanna put there. Bro was literally forced to completely change his game and never played the same because of it. also you chose some very interesting examples. AP was already a freak and did something extremely rare back then hell its still rare. hell kevin whites the same both had brutal injuries and to put them as busts is Bullshit. you know that, we know that, you need to do better man. theyre were 100% bigger busts in the 2010's than those 2. in 2013 both luke joeckel and dion jordan were taken back to back with joeckel going 2nd overall and jordan going 3rd. Jordan played 63 games in 6 seasons with not very good stats, joeckel played for years last playing in 2017 for seattle.
RgIII was not a bust he was killing it before injury a bust is matt leinart, Jamarcus Russell, Jake locker etc. Redskins picked correct player but didn’t use him correctly and rushed him back in to soon after the injury. RGIII would’ve had a great career if never injured. Adrian Peterson and Rob took time off to heal. Adrian did win mvp the next season but he had the off season to heal ! RGIII was thrown into a playoff game injured.
@@MikeRusso10 well let's see, he won rookie of the year, led his team to the playoffs, pro-bowl, and finished 2nd in MVP to Tom Brady. Tell me again how he's a bust? Payton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Joe Montana, never won rookie of the year. You're an idiot. A bust could not accomplish anything near winning rookie of the year, that solidifies you in the record books forever. Ryan leaf, Jamarcus Russell, Manziel are busts. They never led their team to the playoffs, didn't win rookie of the year, hell, they weren't even an applicable, or even won the starting job, that's a bust. Your IQ is showing homie, and it's very low. This is a shit take, plain and simple.
Funny thing about Trubiski, Andy Reid actually wanted to draft him if he had still been available at the 10th pick. Mahomes wasn’t his first choice. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
@@someguynamedelijah Probably would have. I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried to get him as a backup qb at some point. He couldn't be worse than Carson Wentz.
@@someguynamedelijahI think the opposite is also true. If Mahomes was drafted by the bears, Mahomes would’ve been a historical bust instead of trubisky
We have horrible luck taking Michigan D-Lineman. Mazi Smith has the worst PFL rankings weekly…Hasn’t even registered ONE STAT all year. He needs to go, Rickie Berwick has a better chance at making a tackle.
RG3 was never a bust, that injury he had ruined the rest of what would have been an amazing career. The Bears drafted Mitch Trubisky WAAAAAAYYYYY to high seriously the #2 overall pick after one good season in college?? That speaks more volume to the Bears being an inept organization.
So the fact that the Bears reached for Mitch is what makes you think he's a bust. I agree they shouldn't have reached for him, but they didn't know that at the time and he was by all accounts, the best quarterback on the board. In hindsight, we obviously know that's not true.
He was also drafted without having much college experience given to a head coach that had no coaching experience and made to play in his fourth game without having an actual starter in front of them. Mahomes on the other hand, got a coach that had 20 years head coaching experience and sat behind a true professional for an entire year. You can't tell me that doesn't have an effect after watching Jordan love.
In a 5 year period the Browns took not one, not two but THREE QBs with major red flags: Brandon Weeden, Johnny Manziel and DeShone Kizer Weeden: 28 years old with no upside Manziel: Immature frat boy Kizer: So unpolished even his coach (who was vilified for saying it) said he wasn’t ready. They then get it (somewhat) right with Baker Mayfield who wins them their first playoff game in 25+ years, then proceed to thank him by jettisoning him for the NFL’s version of Bill Cosby and gave him $230 guaranteed. You can’t make this shit up.
I will still never forget the day the Bears passed up Patrick Mahomes to draft, Mitchell Trubisky, even for as bad as JaMarcus Russell, and as every other quarterback bus that there is this one hurts so much more than you realize because we literally drafted an average quarterback over one of the greatest quarterbacks in the league who can throw 70 yard bombs and won Three Super Bowls in the process and now he just serves as a back up QB worst draft ever
@DaveysWonderfulWorld This is kind of always a mistake IMO. Mahomes sat for a year learning behind a playoff calibre QB, among a playoff team, with a hall of fame coach. When he started it was an optimal circumstance. Most guys drafted top 3 by contrast are required to be day 1 starters on scrub teams. You can't really compare the two on that basis. Mahomes was considered a project and nobody reasonably projected him as a top 3 pick.
RG3 wasn’t a bust-his potential was undeniable. The team failed him by pushing him to play through injuries, ultimately damaging his body. Then, when Jay Gruden took over, it felt like his career was mismanaged and derailed entirely. It’s hard to label someone a bust when circumstances beyond their control played such a huge role in their downfall.
@@Evenflow-us1py I think you have to look at a guy’s whole career to decide if he’s a bust. Just because some poorly ran teams pick a guy and don’t know what to do with him and he struggles doesn’t always mean he’s a “bust”. Look at Steve Young. He gets drafted by Tampa Bay, had two awful seasons, then finds his way out to SF and blows it way up and ends up being a two time MVP and Super Bowl winner and MVP in ‘94 throwing a record 6 TD passes. He was also a Hesimen Trophy runner up and is in both the Collage and Pro Football Halls of Fame…now you’re not going to sit there and tell us he’s a bust are you??
Mitch trubisky had a 29-22 record with the Bears. 2 playoff appearances in 4 years. A pro bowl. And had decent stats. The sorry Bears just gave up on him to quick bc Nagy is a horrible coach. Im a bears fan.
Did you watch the video? They called it “bad luck” because it wasn’t that RG3 was a bad player, things just didn’t work out. The Redskins traded multiple picks away to get RG3. They said his rookie season was “special”.
As a Steelers fan, Pickett was a huge bust. While the offense was basically a high school offense, it woulda been at least somewhat better of Pickett could be at least 1/4 way consistent.
Justin fields never really had help no productive , valuable clutch receivers, no line , no run game he may do sum with the Steelers he just gotta get it in the end zone
Paxton Lynch, Jake Locker, Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert and EJ Manuel were all significantly worst than Mitch Trubisky and RGIII. Jake Locker was perhaps the most talented of those but the most egregious draft mistake as the guy had barely any interest in playing football. Justin Blackmon was a huge shame. Guy could have been huge.
@@skywalker2759 Saying Jake Locker was more talented than Lynch, Ponder, Gabbert and Manuel means I don't like black QBs? Huh? The only QB among them that's black is Manuel. Who was agreed by almost everyone to have been an enormous stretch for the first round even at the time. Locker was considered a slam dunk number 1 pick before his senior year. He fell hard, just wasn't that interested in football and retired early to become a pastor. The guy had the same frame and upside as Josh Allen, very similar prospects.
Oh man when u mention lynch I kept thinking HOW the Broncos be in qb hell ever since Peyton Manning retired like him and Drew Lock And potentially Bo Nix 🤔
Kevin white and rg3 aren't busts. A player not being able to bounce back from injuries doesn't make them a bust. A bust is a dude with high expectations and come to find out he can't play. White, and rg3 don't fall into these categories. They are players that their bodies simply couldn't recover. Big difference.
Bryce isn’t a bust he just plays for the panthers it’s kind of like Justin in Chicago once he left and actually got a oline and some decent WR’s he’s balling
RG3 was NOT a bust! Bust is very subjective based on various factors (e.g. before/after rookie payscale; draft class depth; red flags; level of reach; whether its team needs or potential; and of course position). There are so many other QBs that I would put before RG3 before labeling him a bust with or without an asterisk.
There have been so many QBs who had pretty awesome college careers which led to them getting picked my garbage NFL teams who at the time didnt have the offensive lines to support their QB, causing them to be a "bust". Its still happening today too. Yes, there are genuine draft busts. But there are also terrible teams that draft good players, and fail them. The latter isn't spoken about enough.
I don’t recall Trubisky being seen as a “savior,” if anything he was seen as an experiment with potential excellent upside. He was 4-8 his rookie year (for a 5-11 team, their 4th straight year of 10+ losses.) Then the Bears were 11-3, 8-7 and 6-3 with Trubisky starting. They gave up on him, for whatever stupid reasons. They were 2-5 the rest of his last Chicago year, then went 6-11, 3-14 and 7-10. They’re 4-2 now under 1st overall pick Caleb Williams, but haven’t played anyone besides Houston w/ a winning record or that has good metrics. Trubisky was no superstar, but handled correctly he could’ve done for Chicago what Flacco did in Baltimore.
I would put Sammy Watkins. Certainly the two first round draft picks BUF spent on him never panned out for BUF, but I’d argue he never showed he was an elite WR in his time in the league.
It's amazing Trey Lance doesn't get more recognition for being a bust. At least players like Russell, Manziel, and others got to see the field. Lance has been so bad that we've barely seen him play.
Always find it strange that Trubisky is considered a 'bust' when in his 4 seasons at Chicago, he racked up over 10,000 passing yards and over 70 Tds. Just because he didn't have the success of either Mahomes or Watson doesn't make him a 'bust'. A good but not elite QB. Like most of them, really.
Rg3 had maybe the best rookie season of any qb to this day,he was no Bust,injury just destroyed him while others qb on this list were bad from a day ONE.
Justin Blackmon wasn't a bust becuz of his athletic ability.. It was his off the field issues.. Bro, really could've lived up to the hype.. In his 1st season, He had 70+ catches for 850+ yards & 5TDs while playing with a bad QB... In his 2nd year.. He had 415 yards with 1 TD in 4 games...
being able to complete passes at all and winning 2 nfl games with zero effort or film while also having an addiction is one of the most impressive things to do like yall know how hard professional football is the fact he even won a game at is crazyy
Just like Tua is doing to Tua **. You seriously want to blame mike Mcdaniels and the dolphins org for a QB refusing to ever slide? They wouldn't start him again unless the doctors AND Tua himself consent to it. Cheap excuse to act like its solely on the dolphins org. Especially in comparison to the shit show that was Dan Snyder. Bad take imo, the only similarity i see would be if Tua does end up retiring this year, i would NOT consider him a bust in the same way i do not think RG3 was a bust. besides that its apples to oranges.
RG3 had a couple good games until Sean Witherspoon cleaned his clock… But I definitely think he was a big time bust considering all the hype surrounding him..
there are three major reasons for why a player ends up a "bust" in the pros 1. off the field issues (trouble with the law/mental health) 2. ability (talent doesn't translate/gel with the team that drafted him) 3. health (injuries)
Trent maybe a bust in some people’s eyes but not mine. I’m from Pensacola , Fl where Trent is from and he had alot outside of football on his plate. That trade to the colts was really a bad move also, that oline couldn’t block for him or Andrew luck
The only real bright point for Mitch Trubisky was how he was able to shred the Matt Patricia Detroit Lions. Dude had a nearly 70% completion, 12/1 TD/INT, averaged over 270 per game, and had a passer rating of 124.4. The Bears won all four. Felt like it kept his career alive there for a bit. So yeah, his highlight was beating on a legendary atrocious defense for 3 years.
Mitch was a bust but honestly is still well respected in chicago. It wasn’t his fault pace overdrafted him and mahomes was in the same draft. From the get go Mitch was a talented but still very raw prospect that needed to be developed. His lack of success was never due to anything in his control. He worked his ass off, was a great teammate, and all around good guy. It’s just insanely difficult to be a good NFL QB and it doesn’t always work out
I guess Isiah Wilson (who was a bigger bust than at least half of the guys on the list) didn't make the list because he was drafted in 2020 (which, technically, was in the 2010's, but still...)?
Even as a Seahawks fan, watching that RGIII games was pure pain. Why didn't they shut him down after that first knee injury? You can't risk a franchise QB for a single season's playoffs run.
RGIII wasn’t a bust. Guy was special but got knocked out by injury… And you might want to update this list, Sam Darnold is tearing it up with the Vikings and is arguably the MVP of the first month of the season..
Yes, RGIII is a bust, but with an asterisk. The outcome is the same, but he falls into a slightly different category. Plenty of other players came back from the same injury and were successful; Adrian Peterson and Rob Gronkowski are good examples.
a bust means the wrong draft pick if the Redskins could draft him again they probably would they would just rest him more he was great
Gronk and AP played in way better run organizations than RGIII. RGIII could have thrived if he found a starting spot in a team like the Niners, Ravens, Steelers or Eagles. Not his fault.

RG3 and Kevin White were tragedies. Both had major injuries before they had an opportunity to show what they can do
RG3 was NOT a bust! Bust is very subjective based on various factors (e.g. before/after rookie payscale; draft class depth; red flags; level of reach; whether its team needs or potential; and of course position). There are so many other QBs that I would put before RG3 before labeling him a bust with or without an asterisk.
rg3 never met expectations. he was a bust. get over it
Look there was one person responsible for RG3s regression
Dan Snyder
Darnold is balling now
Darnold as a starter McCarthy be like 🤬
Bro who is this guy who runs this channel? Holy shit you deserve at least a million subs, the journalism is astounding.
There have been so many QBs who had pretty awesome college careers which led to them getting picked my garbage NFL teams who at the time didnt have the offensive lines to support their QB, causing them to be a "bust". Its still happening today too. Yes, there are genuine draft busts. But there are also terrible teams that draft good players, and fail them. The latter isn't spoken about enough.
rg3 was a bust get over it
True look at tim couch with the browns
@__DGNR8__ not an RG3 fan lol.
@@Dokkalvar37 mike shanahan fan though, doesnt change the fact rg3 was a bust
I don’t recall Trubisky being seen as a “savior,” if anything he was seen as an experiment with potential excellent upside.
He was 4-8 his rookie year (for a 5-11 team, their 4th straight year of 10+ losses.) Then the Bears were 11-3, 8-7 and 6-3 with Trubisky starting.
They gave up on him, for whatever stupid reasons. They were 2-5 the rest of his last Chicago year, then went 6-11, 3-14 and 7-10.
They’re 4-2 now under 1st overall pick Caleb Williams, but haven’t played anyone besides Houston w/ a winning record or that has good metrics.
Trubisky was no superstar, but handled correctly he could’ve done for Chicago what Flacco did in Baltimore.
Trubitsky was not at all as bad of a bust as Watson
The bum busts are one thing but man you feel bad for the guys who were only busts bc of injuries (RG3, Ross, etc)
RG3 was not s bust. Also, I'd rather have mitch on my team than Watson in 2024...
I would put Sammy Watkins. Certainly the two first round draft picks BUF spent on him never panned out for BUF, but I’d argue he never showed he was an elite WR in his time in the league.
It's amazing Trey Lance doesn't get more recognition for being a bust. At least players like Russell, Manziel, and others got to see the field.
Lance has been so bad that we've barely seen him play.
he was drafted 2020
2021*
Colossal bust. Traded the farm and gave up on him very quick. That’s how you know you’re bad bad.
Always find it strange that Trubisky is considered a 'bust' when in his 4 seasons at Chicago, he racked up over 10,000 passing yards and over 70 Tds. Just because he didn't have the success of either Mahomes or Watson doesn't make him a 'bust'. A good but not elite QB. Like most of them, really.
Trubisky sucks
Rg3 had maybe the best rookie season of any qb to this day,he was no Bust,injury just destroyed him while others qb on this list were bad from a day ONE.
Cleveland is where draft picks go to die.
Justin Blackmon wasn't a bust becuz of his athletic ability.. It was his off the field issues.. Bro, really could've lived up to the hype.. In his 1st season, He had 70+ catches for 850+ yards & 5TDs while playing with a bad QB... In his 2nd year.. He had 415 yards with 1 TD in 4 games...
being able to complete passes at all and winning 2 nfl games with zero effort or film while also having an addiction is one of the most impressive things to do like yall know how hard professional football is the fact he even won a game at is crazyy
RG3 wasn’t a bust. Still one of the best rookie seasons ever, maybe the best. His team destroyed his body. Just like the Dolphins are doing with Tua.
Just like Tua is doing to Tua **. You seriously want to blame mike Mcdaniels and the dolphins org for a QB refusing to ever slide?
They wouldn't start him again unless the doctors AND Tua himself consent to it. Cheap excuse to act like its solely on the dolphins org. Especially in comparison to the shit show that was Dan Snyder. Bad take imo, the only similarity i see would be if Tua does end up retiring this year, i would NOT consider him a bust in the same way i do not think RG3 was a bust. besides that its apples to oranges.
I wouldn't say Sam Darnold is a bust i would say he just need to find the right team he proven that he can be a starter
RG3 had a couple good games until Sean Witherspoon cleaned his clock… But I definitely think he was a big time bust considering all the hype surrounding him..
This was very informative 🤔
Rg3 was no where near a bust they ruined him
Darnold is cooking with the vikings !!
Jesus christ all 3 of them dudes in the garbage cans have direct connection to Cleveland.
How Sam Darnell a bust?? Dude played with the horrible jets. Wonder how he's doing now??? Oh, yeah. He's in the fucking playoffs
there are three major reasons for why a player ends up a "bust" in the pros
1. off the field issues (trouble with the law/mental health)
2. ability (talent doesn't translate/gel with the team that drafted him)
3. health (injuries)
Crazy some of these guys hit the football lottery, after all that hard work and dedication just blow it.
RGIII. Poor bloke, god he was amazing before the injury
Sometimes a check is a check tho.
If you lose or you win you still get paid. If your not cut that is.
Sam Darnold and the Vikes 5-0 now👀
Obj and aaron donald on the same team. Coulda been one hell of an era
I remember that "Johny Football" kid 😂😂
Trent maybe a bust in some people’s eyes but not mine. I’m from Pensacola , Fl where Trent is from and he had alot outside of football on his plate. That trade to the colts was really a bad move also, that oline couldn’t block for him or Andrew luck
I’m really surprised Jadeveon Clowney wasn’t on this list..
The only real bright point for Mitch Trubisky was how he was able to shred the Matt Patricia Detroit Lions. Dude had a nearly 70% completion, 12/1 TD/INT, averaged over 270 per game, and had a passer rating of 124.4. The Bears won all four.
Felt like it kept his career alive there for a bit. So yeah, his highlight was beating on a legendary atrocious defense for 3 years.
@BLITZ i was shocked when i saw u only have 54.8k subs man u producing 2mil subs + content keep it up man
He has a second channel with a million subs @nonstop
Most people don't know that colleges did NOT recruit RG3 to play QB, but to play WR. The reason RG3 chose Baylor is they promised him he'd play QB.
Darnold ended up being pretty good
Mitch was a bust but honestly is still well respected in chicago. It wasn’t his fault pace overdrafted him and mahomes was in the same draft. From the get go Mitch was a talented but still very raw prospect that needed to be developed.
His lack of success was never due to anything in his control. He worked his ass off, was a great teammate, and all around good guy. It’s just insanely difficult to be a good NFL QB and it doesn’t always work out
I guess Isiah Wilson (who was a bigger bust than at least half of the guys on the list) didn't make the list because he was drafted in 2020 (which, technically, was in the 2010's, but still...)?
Sam Bradford is missing from this list.
Some of the best who ever played in NFL were free agents or late round draft picks.
Looking back at this video now knowing Sam Darnold was just at a bad team.
Even as a Seahawks fan, watching that RGIII games was pure pain. Why didn't they shut him down after that first knee injury? You can't risk a franchise QB for a single season's playoffs run.
Sam Darnold actually looks good in Minnesota. I think it was a system he was in
The Cleveland Browns gm looks like NBA coach Mike Brown twin brother 😆
Im a bears fan and getting Kevin white was so crazy. I was hype because I didn’t know he’d be a bust and then he missed every game pretty much. Sucks
this sam darnold take seems to be a bit premature lmao
RGIII wasn’t a bust. Guy was special but got knocked out by injury…
And you might want to update this list, Sam Darnold is tearing it up with the Vikings and is arguably the MVP of the first month of the season..
