Another villain tournament. This time, the Chiefs.

Oh, that's a good one. I spat on every picture of him I ever saw after that day.

I think the MUCH shorter list is of those that did not bust.

If Blackledge doesn't bust...not even become great, just not ****ing bust...the entire trajectory of this franchise would have been different.

The absolute hands down worst mistake EVER by this franchise. I hated him in college and thought if they take a qb ANYONE but him...
that pick made hiring herm look brillant by comparison.

So true. If he had become merely the "serviceable quarterback", things would have turned out much different, I believe.

And the worst thing was giving up and not trying to pick ANOTHER qb!!!??!!
Thats like asking 1 girl out in your lifetime.....

That's the primary reason for my claim.

The Blackledge situation, psychologically speaking, killed this franchise.

Yea we picked the only shit 1st round QB of the 83 draft. Go figure.

[Rain Man]

Oh! Vonnie Holliday, the one-game wonder. Who was that injured Tennessee DE that we brought in that one year who never played? Maybe Duane Clemons, too.

Carlton Gray? (Sorry if you're posting, Carlton, but I don't expect you to get to the finals or anything.)

[Rain Man]

Any big ego-driven holdouts?


I'll also propose Mike Bell for getting his coke-snorting nose tossed in prison one year when we needed a defensive end.

[Rain Man]

I'll toss out a recent guy, Eddie Drummond, and a guy who may be a victim, but what the heck: Victor Bailey.

[Rain Man]

Oh, hey. Jimmy Raye. The inventor of the "I'll do the opposite of what's logical every single time in the hopes that it will fool them" philosophy.

[RJ]

I'll offer up Ethan Horton. Not only a huge first round bust as a running back, but he spent most of his career as a fairly good Raider's tight end. Double whammy.
