Choose a past QB bust you'd like to have on our roster

[Eleazar]

Thinking of all the QBs who turned out to be draft busts, it seems that often they are thrown into bad situations on bad teams, and they find their way out of the league as a result. Often it's because they just didn't have "it" and you can't help but wonder if they'd have worked out in another situation.

Of all the QB busts in recent years, which one would you add to our team as a 21-22 year old rookie? If you could transport one of these busts through time and put him on our roster today, to give him a shot in a different set of circumstances, who would you choose off the scrap heap of the past?

[Molitoth]

With Andy Reid as our coach, in the West Coast offense?

hmmmm

[Dayze]

man....so many to think of it makes my brain hurt.

not a bust, but I would like to see Trent.

[ViperVisor]

Bradford.

His accuracy back in college was the best I've seen.

[WhawhaWhat]

Jeff George.

Signed Whitlock.

[Jimmya]

JaMarcus Russell

[WhawhaWhat]

Does Daunte Culpepper count?

[Eleazar]

One that I thought of was Tim Couch. He was a spread QB in college that never made the transition, and was dropped in to starting day 1 on an expansion team. A guy like that needs time to make the transition to an NFL offense.

[loochy]

Geno Smith

[ILChief]

Does RG3 count?

[Molitoth]

David Carr

[alpha_omega]

Dude....you have a working time machine....if that's the case, transporting bust QB's is the last thing i'm gonna do.

Mike Elkins

[Dayze]

this thread should be thoroughly entertaining. everyone will get blasted for which ever QB they list.


I'd do a David Carr do-over.

[In58men]

We already have a bust why do we want another one?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Snatchz.

[WakkaWakka]

He may not qualify as a bust yet. But honestly, I would've taken RG3. I watched his games at Baylor and thought he was gonna be great! Guess I got that one wrong. Feel bad for the guy.

[Reerun_KC]

Cousins or Foles...

[ptlyon]

Snatchz.

Snatchez? We don't need no stinking Snatchez!

[The Franchise]

Jimmy Clausen.

[Simply Red]

we already have the perfect QB.

[loochy]

Does RG3 count?

maybe

id take him

[Reerun_KC]

maybe

id take him

dude is constantly broken, He makes Jammin Jamaal look rock solid.

[The Franchise]

Cousins or Foles...

Do you understand the concept of a QB "bust"?

[loochy]

Do you understand the concept of a QB "bust"?

Oh, you're right. In that case, I take Elway.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Everyone wants Marietta, we may as well get his clone Akili Smith and let people get an early sneak peak.

[Sofa King]

The Falcons version of Brett Favre.

[Sofa King]

Do you not understand the concept of "bust"? Dipshit.

[Sofa King]

I said the Falcons version, not Packers, Jets, Vikings version, dick. Favre with our 90's D would have been awesome.

[Dunerdr]

Chase Danielz!

[Fire Me Boy!]

Oh, you're right. In that case, I take Elway.

http://blogbeckett.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/elway.jpg

My hatred of him is far too deeply ingrained. I'd take Montana or Marino, though.

[Reerun_KC]

Do you understand the concept of a QB "bust"?
Yep sure do. But those two were deemed the suck by CP when coming out.

[loochy]

Cousins or Foles...

Matt Cassel or Alex Smith

[BlackHelicopters]

Akili Smith

[bigjosh]

Matt leinart

[Coochie liquor]

Tim Tebow..... Lmao, but seriously David Carr. Dude got ruined because his offensive line got him killed his first few seasons. But I bet there's a lot on here would LOVE Johnny Manziel. Does he count yet? Oh wait yes he does. He's a first round pick who's on the bench/CP

[RustShack]

Casey Printers.

Quincy Carter, Kordell Stewart, JP Losman, Joey Harrington.

[Ebolapox]

screw it. david klingler.

[Al Bundy]

Andre Ware.

[Rain Man]

Oh, you're right. In that case, I take Elway.



He never played a down for the team that drafted him. That's the very definition of a bust.

I'd still take Culpepper or David Carr, though.

[Eleazar]

When you look at these guys and try to understand why they might have failed, you have a few different reasons why a QB fails

-Fails to develop / fails to transition to pro system (Couch)
-Drafted into a bad situation / no talent around him / crap franchise (Carr)
-Injury prone (RGknee)
-Headcase, mental or "makeup" issues (Leaf, Harrington)
-Overrated/not truly talented enough / shouldn't have been a high pick (Akili Smith)

I would only think of guys in the first two categories and not the last three. You can't fix those flaws.

[L.A. Chieffan]

SANCHEZ! Lol not

[gblowfish]

David Jaynes. He'd give Brett Favre a run for his money on the dick pics.

[Steron]

Todd Blackledge

Poop McShovel.

[a pp roach]

Brad Smith

[FishingRod]

I thought we should have kept Kyle Orton for the cost of no draft picks and drafted a QB. I would have probably took Gino which doesn’t look great right now but might have worked out better if he had a year or two to sit and watch.

LOL
Well we had Orton on the team, all we had to do was pay him like a mediocre QB. Alex Smith Might be a little better “maybe” but, we would not have needed to give anything up. I really thought Gino was going to be a stud. This has not been the case at this point but, we could have got both of them for one 2nd round pick. Contrary to the Todd Blackledge rule you CAN pick another QB if the one you drafted doesn’t work out. The freaking Raiders have been the poster child for wasted QB picks but at least they keep trying. Why is a fat mediocre DL a better use of a 1st round pick than rolling the dice on a QB until you hit on a winner. FWIW I don’t think Alex Smith sucks. He would put up very good numbers if he had the talent around him that Manning does.

The whole Orton thing doesn't matter. Why? He doesn't really want to play. He wants to be a backup and sit on his butt and collect a paycheck for doing nothing. FACT.

[MahiMike]

Somebody will make a QB out of Glennon. What is lovie thinking?

I mean, how many people were licking their ****ing chops when he was cut (the first time)?

EDIT: I'm about to turn my adblock back on... wtf!

At this point that seems to be correct but I think we could have signed him

[kysirsoze]

Only on a Chiefs board. We are so starved for taking a chance on drafting a QB, that we dream about taking chances on QBs that already busted. The Chiefs QB approach is just cruel and unusual.


That being said: Carr

[CHENZ A!]

Rick Mirer

[rico]

RYAN LEAF!!!!!!

I think Andy Reid could have really gotten through to him because he is teh QB whithperer!!!!!!

[Rausch]

I think Tim Couch got a raw deal.

Different team, different time, franchise QB...

[Gonzo]

David Carr

This. He just had the fuck beat out of him. He had a lot of talent.

I thought he was over-rated out of Kstate. *shrug*

[mikey23545]

Warren Moon.

[Mennonite]

Vince Young. Dumb as a rock and as stable as Michael J. Fox's hand in a game of Jenga, but I still think that if he had started out with the right coach he could have been good.
