The question was raised in another thread. I was surprized to find a few people that said he was a successful 1st round pick. One person in particular, said no one in thier right mind would view him as a bust and that I was by myself in thinking that.

So here's the poll to find out.

I'd say we'd all probably have to agree that your mom was a bust for not swallowing you when she had the chance.

Depends on the definition of bust. He has been a starter for 6 out of his 7 seasons.

So i guess hes not a bust of epic proportions, but definately a HUGE disappointment for sure.

Nine? You out of 13 are BUSTS? You're out of your fucking mind.

Please explain to me how Joey Harrington has more than 15,000 yards passing and is a member of the New Orleans Saints if he's a "bust"?

How is David Carr be a bust when he's the primary backup to Eli Manning in New York?

Are you suddenly more in touch with a QB's attributes than Sean Payton or Tom Coughlin?

I'm sure you think that Steve Young was a bust too, right? Because he didn't win at Tampa Bay? And Jim Plunkett - he was a bust too, right? Because he didn't win at New England?

You sir, are a football moron.

"Who's Leonard Davis?"

ROFL

Yeah, I figured that.

Just like so many other dumbfucks.

The truth of the matter is that Joey Harrington and David Carr have plenty of time to become successful starters in the league.

Everyone around here thinks that Trent Green is so great and Rich Gannon was so great, but neither became a serviceable starter until LATE into their careers and over the age of 30.

But of course, none of these same people who proclaim that Eli Manning is a possible "bust" or the aforementioned players are bust don't know that they're ill-informed and myopic.

As the 'Planet turns.

Akili Smith was a bust. Cade McNown was a bust. Tim Couch was a bust.

Guys that throw for 15,000 yards in the NFL aren't busts. He may not have lived up to expectations in Detroit, but he's hardly a talentless bust.

And again, I give you Sean Payton as an example. The number one offense in the league. Why would Payton have this guy on his roster if he's a bust?

And if you'll recall, that same Joey Harrington beat the Chiefs while with Miami, effectively booting the Chiefs from the 2005 playoffs.

You know there are different levels of a pick than just 'this guy is a complete bust" and "wow great pick!'

Ouch. Embarrassing statement if true.

Using your definition, Jim Plunkett was a bust.

He's a guy whose confidence took a beating at the same time his body did.
He hung around the league for a number of years until he landed in a good situation and lead his team to a SB victory.

I know that Harrington had the talent when he came out, and he may never land in the right situation, and even if he does, he will never overcome the fact that he hasn't played to the level of expectation that his draft status put on him.

We are talking about current history. Not guestimating the future. If you'd like to say he;s not a bust, I encourage you to vote accordingly. In my opinion Harrington sucks. If he compares to Plunkett, then for the majority of Plunketts carreer he was a bust.

The only way to look at it, is what has he done to this point. He's been given the opportunity, and done nothing with it. The poll was not intended to ask folks to read the future. But to evaluate what they have done thus far in thier carreer.

This has nothing to do with Sanchez. That's not my posting style. This is a poll to establish the pulse of the posters opinion on the subject of JH and his status as an NFL QB.

BTW, I'm on record several times saying I would be satisfied with Sanchez. He's not my 1st choice and I have stated why. I just want a good player. I think he's risky. But would be okay if he's drafted.

For the record, I agree that nobody should decide to draft, or not draft, any player this year because of one player in another year. It's one thing to look at all the data to help make your decision. It's another thing completely to allow that data to change your mind based solely upon the past.

If Pioli thinks there's a quarterback in this draft that's worth the #3 pick, he should take that player. But I don't think that's been the problem on this board. The problem is that a small group of posters insults anyone who feels, for whatever reason, that there's not a quarterback worth that #3 spot this season, when the reality is that there are concerns about both of the top quarterbacks, and those concerns aren't only in the mind of the so-called "true fans".

Given just those two options, I'm saying no... but he falls somewhere in between. Maybe 'incomplete' at this point, even though he's been around a while.

Well, if I'm a Lions fan and my team drafted Harrington in the 4th round I'd classify him as an excellent pick who was very serviceable for a few years, a great value.

If I'm Lions fan and my team drafted him with the 3rd overall pick in the draft I'd classify him a bust.

In real life, I classify him as a mediocre NFL QB why didn't live up to his hype, but not a "bust".

I can't vote in this poll. I would not say he is a bust, he is still in the league and is a viable QB. However he also has not justified his draft position so in that manner he is a bust.

So, Ryan Sims clearly wasn't a bust either.

Where Bob Sanders > Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman was a game manager, and Tyler Thigpen compares favorably to Steve Young.

Yeah, maybe you missed the poll where Manning SMOKED Derrick Thomas on if we could have one of the other. I think Bob Sanders would be much worse results too. Oh well, keep making these uninformed generalizations.

Using your definition, Jim Plunkett was a bust.

He's a guy whose confidence took a beating at the same time his body did.
He hung around the league for a number of years until he landed in a good situation and lead his team to a SB victory.

I know that Harrington had the talent when he came out, and he may never land in the right situation, and even if he does, he will never overcome the fact that he hasn't played to the level of expectation that his draft status put on him.

I've said this time and time again, yet these fucking football morons won't hear of it.

Is Steve Young a Bust?

Is Jim Plunkett a bust?

I think he is a bust up to this point in time. Same thing with Carr.

They both can turn it around but the odds are against them.

I asked this in the other thread and no one answered me but does anyone NOT think Alex Smith is a bust?

Alex Smith is different than Harrington and Carr in that he played exclusively in Urban Meyer's spread offense. He could'nt make the transition to playing under center and he was drafted way too young (age 20).

He's certainly been a disappointment for the 49ers but they've changed offensive philosophies a number of time and much like the Lions and Texans, their problems extend far and away outside of the QB position.

I think Smith is like 24 years old. He's made $30 million plus dollars. Beyond that, I have no idea if he has the drive or the ability to learn how to play in a Pro-Style offense.

Again, guys like Smith, Harrington and Carr have never had a chance to succeed. They've played on shitty teams (until now, for Carr) with a serious lack of overall talent on their football teams. It's not as if each guy has been dumped from their respective football teams and each team plugged in a different QB and immediately had success.

It's a much bigger issue.

Do you know that Steve Young was the #1 overall pick by the Buccaneers and sucked? They shipped him off to the 49ers, where he finally learned how to become a QB?

I think it is hilarious to see you make these ridiculous comparisons when you try to get them to support your argument, but when someone makes a comparison to a great QB, they are immediately a fucking retard, or they need to die of AIDS or something equally as compelling as most of your posts. Yes, I knew that about Steve Young. I didn't bring up Plunkett because I don't know a ton about him. But, since we are talking about facts:

Steve Young was traded for the 49ers 2nd and 4th draft picks, Harrington was given away for a 6th round pick to the Dolphins, where he was released the next year. He was then released again one year later after being signed by the Falcons. Now he has been with the Saints for one year, so we will see if the trend continues and he is released this year.

Harrington is 7 years into his NFL career. 7 years into Young's NFL career, he had led the NFL in QB rating once, and was pushing Montana to KC. I guess as soon as Payton decides to trade Brees in favor of Harrington, I will be able to see the comparison as clearly as you. Hopefully my football knowledge will catch up to yours at that point, though that seems about as unlikely as Harrington getting ditched by his 4th team in 7 years, right?

Trying to pull out the crystal ball and say he's not a bust because he could get a break in the future is a circular argument. By that argument nobody is a bust until they are completely out of the league. The guy was drafted #3 overall and hasn't led his team to a winning record yet. Ask any Lions' fan if they think they got value out of Harrington. Plunkett was a bust for the 49ers and the Pats. I don't think anyone would say that the Raiders won their Super Bowls because they had a special QB. He was a guy that would make the occassional spectacular play and not hurt his team. That puts him a lot closer to Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson than it does to Peyton Manning and Troy Aikman.

Look, Doomy. The reason for bringing up Young and Plunkett was that before going to the 49ers and Raiders respectively, they could both be considered "busts" when in reality, that was far from the case.

No one knows if David Carr or Joey Harrington will suddenly "get it" and become a successful QB in the league, but both are still working at it and are on NFL rosters. IMO, that doesn't make them the classic "bust" like Leaf, Smith, McNown, McGuire, Marinovich, etc. They just failed to live up to expectations.

Furthermore, Carr & Harrington went to very poor teams (an expansion franchise and another that should be considered an expansion franchise) and though both have gone through several QB's since, neither has dramatically improved (and in the case of the Lions, they've only become worse).

So from that standpoint, do you blame the player for failing, or the organization? The front office and coaching staff or are Harrington and Carr ultimately responsible for their respective franchise's failures?

Since they're still in the league and both teams have new front offices (and along with different head coaches), it appears to ME that the blame does not entirely belong on these particular QB's shoulders.

And THAT'S what separates these two guys from being the classic "one and done" bust.

mecca how does what he said mean that? a guy drafted at #3 who 7 years in is a backup, never led a team to a winning record, got traded for a 6th round pick is a BUST no two ways about it. for the team drafting him he's a BUST. even if he went on to win a super bowl for whoever he played for any year to the detroit lions he will always be a bust. kinda like leonard davis.

who cares where the blame entirely falls the player is a bust for being drafted at three. that player hasnt lived up to where they were drafted, now if he was drafted in the 5th round then i could see your point. and if either were so great why are they backups? teams every year need starters, why arent these guys starters? better yet would YOU give up our #3 for either? how about our 3 rounder?

This argument of playing on a shitty team only apply for first round picks? Where is the exception for Thigpen that he may get it. He did play on a shitty team afterall. And, again, why can't Harrington stick with any team, even as a backup? Yeah, I know Ryan was drafted last year, but Harrington couldn't beat Chris Redman or DJ Shockley for a backup spot. This wasn't a shitty team either, this was a playoff team.

When Tyler Thigpen learns how to play in a Pro-Style offense, we can compare his career to Joey Harrington's.

I didn't say anything about Payton being an idiot. Do I look like I work for the Saints? But since you do keep bringing up what a QB genious he is, before he got blessed with having an already proven Drew Brees as his QB in New Orleans, he really did a number as QB coach in Dallas with Quincy Carter, Vinny Testaverde, and Drew Bledsoe.

Apparently, many Chiefsplanet forum members don't understand the phrase "bust" or how it's applied to NFL first round players.

Again, Leaf, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, Dan McGuire and Todd Marinovich are busts. Their careers sunk almost immediately. They failed to do anything of substance with any other football team after being released.

David Carr is a backup to Eli Manning. The Texans still suck, even after he's been gone for two years. Joey Harrington is in New Orleans. The Detroit Lions still suck after he was traded.

Coincedence?

Obviously, both of these guys have talent or they wouldn't be drawing an NFL paycheck. Both were drafted by shitty teams and received shitty coaching and nearly no offensive help (let alone, offensive lines). But yet, you expect them to succeed?

But again, many Chiefsplanet members feel that Eli Manning is a bust and that Troy Aikman really wasn't all that good. So, what does that tell you? It tells me that many of these people feel like it should be Pro Bowl or Super Bowl, or you're a "bust".

With LJ, TG, D-Bowe and an all-world offensive line (plus Vermeil & Saunders), it's impossible to say that he would have same the career.

WTF is up with quotes? Yeah, I quoted Dane on that. Just wanted to see if he believes the Chiefs franchise to be the worst in the NFL like he said.

I was referring to the Lions franchise, not the Chiefs.

Oh, I think you misunderstood his question. That makes more sense.

Bust? No. Major disappointment? Yes.

Blackledge was a bust, no doubt about it.

Harrington hasn't been worthy of the #3 overall pick but as I stated earlier, it's not like he went to the Cowboys in 1989, either. The Cowboys built a team for Aikman AND had a great coaching staff.

Detroit sucked. Miami was a mess and Atlanta was worse.

IMO, the bottom line is that the guy still has plenty of time left to do something with his career. He's only 30 and he's still employed.

would you be happy if we drafted him at #3 this year and his career played out the same way?

Mecca would probably be happy if stafford or sanchez turn out as good as harrington.

Sure.

Watching you talk smack is about as graceful as watching a bonobo shove a football up its own ass.

I do not know the poster this was directed at and that has nothing to do with the chuckle it gave me.

If those guys aren't bust, then either is Ryan sims. I think we'd all agree sims is a bust.

Hell, even though mandarich went on to have a couple of good seasons with the colts, we'd still consider him a huge bust.

AT what point have you brought anything of substance on the Chiefs or football? You never back up anything you post, other than whining and crying...

I think it is hilarious to see you make these ridiculous comparisons when you try to get them to support your argument, but when someone makes a comparison to a great QB, they are immediately a ****ing retard, or they need to die of AIDS or something equally as compelling as most of your posts. Yes, I knew that about Steve Young. I didn't bring up Plunkett because I don't know a ton about him. But, since we are talking about facts

In looking at these comparisons, Harrington's career path, to this point, does look more like Jim Plunkett's than Steve Young's.

First overal pick who played for 6(?) years for the Patriots before being traded ot the 9ers, who released him after two years.

He then signed with the Raiders and sat on the bench for two years before his career took a surprising positive turn.

Patriot fans would probably call him a bust, but he ended up having a couple of productive seasons and leading the Raiders to two (my bad) SBs.
