Without a doubt, Jamarcus Russell was going to be a bust if Bill Walsh came back from the grave to coach him personally. But there are plenty of other promising prospects that were just ruined with inadequate development. Rushed into playing without a couple of years of solid coaching and a vet to mentor him. Some greats can learn on the fly and have the brilliant coaching to teach them on the fly. Some needed to sit and build a slower base before achieving greatness. Some were more self-taught and some had to be taught.
Nobody ever did a study on why top QB prospects busted out and who seemed to be to blame.
