leinart isnt a bust either..maybe you think vince young is a bust too

in order to be a bust you have to give them the opportunity to play up to or below their potential......if they get outplayed it doesnt make them a bust, it just means the other guy is better......now if leinart or quinn never make a name for themselves and bounce around the league before retiring with only 6 and 11 games started respectfully......then label them busts

i guess i just consider it a bust because of the high draft spot, i mean if you spend that much money and that high of a draft pick on somebody they need to have an impact within the first three years of them being there, otherwise i think the talent evaluator kinda s the bed by wasting a high draft pick on a position that was obviously not that important, imo

lol i normally agree......i would hate to have a first round draft pick ride the pine for 4 years before makes an impact......however, you look at guys like aaron rodgers who sat behind a future hall of famer for 3 seasons before getting his shot and look how he turned out

guys like steve young who come into the league as a nobody from the USFL and sits behind a guy you probably have heard of named joe montana.....then goes on to be a hall of famer in his own right

its proven that if you give a player time to learn the system and the players under a proven starter, they are more likely to succeed when you hand the reigns over to them

like i said tho....id hate to waste a pick in the first round and not see that player play for the next 3 or 4 seasons
