I didnt post from 2006-2007 becuase i always give a player at least 2full season to find out if he's a bust or not, and i'm not saying some of these players arent good, but players that shouldnt of been picked the first round.

Mike Williams was a top 10 pick and has been a HUGE bust up until now. He wasnt on your list. He is on his 3rd team in 3 years and probably will be out of the league in 1 more year.

royboy_3831 · Dec 6, 2007

your rankings are a bust

i know tim couch was bad, but does he really deserve 2 spots in the top 10?
and how in the hell is ryan leaf not higher?

CHOPTALK · Dec 6, 2007

I forgot about him.
I pulled this list together quickly.
Sorry.

JakeT. · Dec 6, 2007

Your list is about as bad as the Saints' defense IMO.

Name one player on the list thats not a bust.
Im sure I left some out, but this is a pretty good list.

Iceman · Dec 6, 2007

Obvioulsy his better days are behind him but Culpepper has done a fairly good job and shouldnt be mentioned in the same breath as most of these other QB's. He has a career 64% completion pct and has thrown for over 22,000 yards with 142 TD's and has rushed for over 2,500 yds and 30+ TD's, why would that be a bust? If anything he has had a better than average career for a NFL QB.

Well first off, #2 and #7 are the same player.

Ron Dayne is doing well in Houston. Culpepper has had alot of great years. Kevin Jones has been a productive starter for years behind a poor line. Alex Smith has been dinged all year and is only in his 2nd full year as a starter. Not sure how he's a bust this early. Cedric Benson is in his first year as a starter and can't be written off yet. Cadillac Williams has had some very productive years before injuries set in. There were alot of better choices. Just because a guy has a bad year doesn't make him a bust. A bust is a guy like Mike Williams who was already mentioned... or your #2 and #7 choices.

I am not a big Kevin Jones fan but he was a pro bowl alternate one of his first 2 seasons and was a very late 1st round pick (30th pick) but he is what he is, a slightly below average running back, not sure he was suppose to be much more. He average 4.1 YPC behind a bad OLine in his career.

Iceman · Dec 6, 2007

Chop,
Mike Williams and Charles Rogers have been MONUMENTAL 1st round flops but the other Matt Millen WR picks have been Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams and they are fine.

BillyWaltersJr+ · Dec 6, 2007

Reggie Bush

FairWarning · Dec 6, 2007

Cade McNown was in the same draft as Culpepper. You can take Grossman out. Michael Haynes who the Bears selected the pick before Grossman was a bust.

Charles Rogers should be top-3 material. Here are his career stats:

+--------------------------+-------------------------+
| Rushing | Receiving |
+----------+-----+--------------------------+-------------------------+
| Year TM | G | Att Yards Y/A TD | Rec Yards Y/R TD |
+----------+-----+--------------------------+-------------------------+
| 2003 det | 5 | 2 17 8.5 0 | 22 243 11.0 3 |
| 2005 det | 9 | 0 0 0.0 0 | 14 197 14.1 1 |
+----------+-----+--------------------------+-------------------------+
| TOTAL | 14 | 2 17 8.5 0 | 36 440 12.2 4 |
+----------+-----+--------------------------+-------------------------+</pre>To play only two years when you are the second pick in the draft is horrible.
