  • Gip I would have to say the biggest fail of this draft at QB is going to be Teddy B.... I just get the sense that though this guy may have been a good college QB, he doesn't have the "it" to succeed in the NFL. He is just so, I don't know, vanilla! I have been wrong many times before but that is my two cents.

    I don't know, like I said, I see a lot of Warren Moon in him. (yes, I am going with the fact they are both black, but beyond that I think there can be a lot of similarities.)

  • Don't know if anyone else wants to vote on this.

    So far we have a 3 way tie for #1 worst: Russell, Leaf, Schlichter. Akili Smith is right behind those 3, with Marinovich/McQwire/Campbell another step back.

  • I think Schlister has to be at the top. Just about all the others at least had a moment of glory at some point to make you think their career might be salvageable. Even Ryan Leaf had a couple of good games here and there.

  • 1. J. Russell - Not because of stats or w-L record, but b/c I watched him play. In the NFL, he didn't even resemble a QB in any way. Worst bust EVER at any position.

    2. R. Leaf - Almost drafted over future HOF Peyton Manning. See how that turned out.

    3. A. Smith - what a wasted pick at #3. He wasn't even that good in college

    4. A. Schlichter - A little before my time, but I know he was supposed to be a good college player

    5. A. Ware - a lot of hype about him coming out of college

    I based mine on where they were drafted... These are all guys drafted in the top 10...

  • I'm a little amazed that Touchdown TImmy Couch is not on anyone's list.

    Then again, I give him points for beating the Steelers, especially in his first and second seasons on those dreadful teams.

    Just out of curiousity, how would any of you stack Tim Couch against this years crop of "star" QBs?

    Couch doesn't come close to being the worst pick. He actually had a productive, if short career in terms of yards, TD, Starts, etc. etc. etc. His record of like 22-37 wasn't great...but he also had no team with him...and that record is a damn sight better than a third of the QBs drafted in the first round over the years.

  • Well, I guess we will close this out. Here is the final tally:

    #1 Most Epic Failure: Art Schlichter

    Rounding out the Top 5:

    Jamarcus Russell

    Ryan Leaf

    Akili Smith

    Andre Ware

    And a tip of pinot grigio or some faggy-ass lt rum umbrella cocktail to Shlep on the Quinn/Leinart combo ... there should be a special category for "Busted QBs that were most beloved by the metrosexual population"

    as much love as he has for QB's i suspect he's more "metroflexible"...a potential warrior for the browneye...also known in closed circles as "craigslist gay".

    alright let's stop talking about him since he regularly searches his name here as a keyword...or he'll be poppin by slobbering about yet another of his man-crushes "the currently still relevant alex smith"...

    didn't he like Clausen pickle too?? or maybe it was Tannehill. actually i think it was both, depending upon the thread. fuck it who cares.

    He liked Clausen, and Sanchez.
