Was smith as great as you remember? I remember him running through gigantic holes before being touched.

Two AFC Championship games in your first two years, guy sucks. BTW, when was the last Chiefs AFC Championship appearance?

Honestly, none.

There has never been a guy that I just KNEW was going to be awesome that busted. Most of the guys listed in here I said I thought would suck.

The closest I would get to that would be Gholston. Probably because he was a great pass rusher, damn near unblockable as a senior against NFL level talent, and somehow it never transferred into the pros. It's just pass rushing! And he had a great work ethic so I thought he had a great shot, but certainly wasn't beating down doors for him.

My opinion on guys like Akili Smith and Cade McNown and Ron Dayne and pretty much every big bust has been spot on.

Robert Gallery had alligator arms. I knew he'd suck nuts as a left tackle. You can't play left tackle with ****ing 1 foot long arms. That one was easy. I was shocked at how much people thought of him.

I've been racking my brain trying to think of someone, but every guy I've ever thought would bust did. My opinion is that RGIII will be a bust too. It's hard for me to believe how many people here are on his nuts.

Getting carried by a defense to those games has no bearing on his play. They have won mostly in spite of him. JFC get real.

Rashaan Shehee, I thought he had "it".

He's clearly the weak link on that team and that's not a good thing when it's the QB holding you back. Drafted to be a "Franchise QB" and those guys are supposed to raise the play of thier teammates.

AJ Hawk. He's been ok, but nowhere near where he was hyped.

Reggie Bush. Watched him since his HS days. He showed flashes of Gale Sayers, but he's no where near those numbers, and hasnt broken 1 1000 yard season

Not flaming you, but just imagine AP running behind the lines that Emmitt did. Yes Emmitt was great, but i don't even think he was the best back of his time.

For his size? He was excellent. Don't be dumb.

Not sure he was a complete bust, but i thought JJ Stokes was gonna be HUGE before he got drafted.
