ET80 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Well, that's random. Guess the Seahawks need an athletic backup to Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 There was nothing to indicate he's an NFL quarterback besides his size. And yet he gets drafted in the first and will continue to get contracts as a result of his size and draft status. The NFL is a wonderful charity for the genetically fortunate.

BroncoBruin Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I feel like Paxton gets slept on as one of the worst QB draft picks of all time. Easily the worst QB I've seen play for the Broncos. Two years and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the worst QB I've seen play for the Broncos. Two years and out. He's not even close to the biggest bust in the last 20 years in my opinion. I mean, that range is littered with quite a few flops so it's not completely unexpected. I suppose it depends on how many you want to count as "worst of all time". If that list is going to be like 50 deep, then maybe. But just look at what we have had going back 20 years from Lynch's draft class: The Cleveland Trio (all selected 22nd overall): Quinn, Weeden, Manziel The unholy 2014 Triumvirate: Locker / Gabbert / Ponder (8/10/12) The #1 flop - Jamarcus The WTH are you doing picks: EJ Manuel, 16th & Tim Tebow 25th Sanchez & Freeman - 5th and 17th (at least Sanchez has a couple of playoff wins though) Vince Young and Matt Leinart: 3rd / 10th (at least the Titans got a little something from Young, so despite the much higher draft slot, he may not be as bad of a bust...depends on how you weight it, I guess) The forgotten 2004 selection: JP Losman, 22nd (side note, don't select a quarterback 22nd overall) Kyle Boller and Rex Grossman - 19th and 22nd (well, how about that...Rex Grossman, best quarterback ever taken with the 22nd overall pick...I knew he had it in him). The 2002 busts - Carr / Harrington / Ramsey (1/2/32) 1999: Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Cade McNown (1 / 3 / 12) 1998: Ryan Leaf 1997: Jim Drunkenmiller (26th) Does lynch even break that top 10 ?

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 For all the hate Mark Sanchez gets, at least he was okay during those couple of Jets years. Paxton Lynch has always been just god awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't a top 5-10 pick, so in terms of value, he may not measure up to a lot of these busts. As a player, he was worse than every 2000s player you listed except for JaMarcus.

Sanchez was the 5th overall pick though Lynch was drafted in the back end of the 1st round there is much higher expectations that you are going to be good when you are taken that high.

big_palooka Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 11 hours ago, Forge said: Does lynch even break that top 10 ? I'd argue yes. Every QB on that list likely did more than Lynch who couldn't make year 3 of his contract. The guys take top 5-10, you can argue are bigger busts just based on the premium draft spot. But the rest, pretty easy to see Lynch is among the worst of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 For what it's worth, I wouldn't call David Carr a bust--at least not his fault. The Texans broke him. 75 sacks in his rookie season might traumatize anyone! They did him soooooo wrong. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries and lack of proper supporting cast/coaching also plays a (rather large) factor. David was put in a horrible situation. But he's still a bust, tbh.

Art_Vandalay Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 IMO you have to be picked in the top 10 to be considered an all-time bust. Gyar, Paxton's still a massive bust nonetheless. Dude cares more about video games than working hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
