Bust Factor

The Browns Board
14 8 669
  • Here is the Bust Factor of years in which 2 or more QBs have been drafted in the first round, since 1999

    1999 2 or 3 out of 5 (3 if you count Couch)..McCown/Smith

    2000 only 1 QB taken....Pennington

    2001 only 1 QB taken...Vick

    2002 3 out of 3 were busts ...Ramsay/Harrington/Carr

    2003 2 or 3 out of 4. Grossman/Boller/Leftwich

    2004 1 out of 4 . JP Losman

    2005 1 out of 3 maybe...if you think of Jason Campbell as a bust

    2006 2 out of 3 Young/Leinert (and the third is Cutler)

    2007 2 out of 2 Russell/Quinn

    2008 0 out of 2 (Flacco/Matt Ryan)

    2009 2 out of 3 Sanchez? Freeman

    2010 1 out of 2 Tebow...and it depends on what you feel about Sam Bradford

    2011 3 out of 4 Ponder/Gabbert/Locker

    2012 2 out of 4 Griffin and Weeden

    2013 Only 1 QB taken ...and he can be considered a bust: EJ Manual

    2014 A bit early perhaps...one bust for sure: JFF....and Bortles and Bridgewater

    2015 Looks good for the 2 taken: Winston/Mariota

    2016 Too early: Goff/Wents/Lynch

    Looks like an over 50% bust factor to me. For what its worth.

  • If Griffin is a bust so is Luck.

  • So Bradford isnt a bust but Vick is a bust?

    lol dude

  • I think the success rate is closer to 30%

  • If Griffin is a bust so is Luck.

    Why is that? Rg3 has better career stats. If we are counting him as a bust then shouldn't luck be one too? Or are we just going off of who is still on a roster.

  • Why isn't Jason Campbell a for sure bust. He was drafted 25th. Defintely a bust.

  • So Bradford isnt a bust but Vick is a bust?

    lol dude

    I didn't say Vick was a bust. I only said that he was the only first round QB taken that year. I also didn't say Pennington was a bust.

    I did say that Manuel was one.

    I think he is on the border. Some are clear successes. Some are clear busts. Some are borderline. He is one of them.

    Robert Griffin the Turd was cut by the Browns!

    That's worse than that time Greg Little was cut by the dog shit raiders.

    If Indy put Luck on the trade block, he would garner all kinds of offers.

    teams don't even want to sign RG3 off the street, let alone trade even the most modest of commodities.

    Averages. Obviously rg3 has missed more games.
