Tk3 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I knew EJ Manuel was a bad QB long before he was a 1st round prospect So I guess, technically, the first moment I knew he was a bust was the minute I learned that he was projected to be a high enough draft being to be worthy of the title "bust". Before that he was just a mediocre college QB I'm still a little grossed out by how excited Bills fans were about him.

11sanchez11 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 When I watched Rosen in Arizona, specifically when he played the University of Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamblinMan99 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just looking at Josh Rosen on draft day. He actually had the appearance of a draft bust. I didn’t care at all that he came from a family of athletes. You could just see it in his facial expression that he didn’t have the drive to make it in the NFL. Another one would be watching Mason Rudolph’s college highlights at Oklahoma State right before he was drafted. The ball came out of his hand too slow consistently. There was no denying that it wasn’t going to work for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single time he played he made rudimentary throws of the ball look incredibly difficult. I guess when he had that throw/fumble while playing for the Texans against Denver. already knew he sucked by then but I was begging for teams to stop putting him on TV. Despite what some franchises think There’s more to playing QB than being tall And then Elway brings him back and cuts Kyle Sloter, someone who had potential. That upset me greatly. The Broncos had nobody at the position. Lynch was a bust by then, and should have been cut, and you knew that Siemian's days as a starter were numbered. Also, they drafted Chad Kelly, but he wasn't better than Sloter (although he would go on and play well in the 2018 pre-season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Darnold mic’d up saying he was seeing ghosts. Running around scared. That’s actually a really good predictor of future failure along with someone being an off the field nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that he was just a mediocre college QB I'm still a little grossed out by how excited Bills fans were about him. That was definitely a pick that had "bust" written all over him from the start. I could never figure out how that dude went in the first round. Same with Weeden to the Browns. I actually liked Weeden at Oklahoma State, but definitely not as a first round pick. More like a 3rd-4th round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the Browns were just trash, and we would have an awesome back-up that we could then trade for picks when we signed Tim Couch. Well, I thought wrong. Then we traded for Deshone. I thought, well, this could be a better version of Hundley... What happens when you get fooled twice? I don't know, but it made me feel like a real Jerk! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DER10N92 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 JP Losman (2004)...the moment we drafted him after the big 3 (Roethlisberger, Eli & Rivers) had already came off the board and we reached for the next available QB. EJ Manuel (2013)...also the moment we drafted him when he was average at best in college and we reached on him in the 1st and our GM was on his way out the door and drafted a QB just for the sake of saying he set us up with one for the future.

pwny Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I knew Gabbert was going to be bad when I started scouting him and even his college highlight videos were just 7 minutes of him throwing dump off passes. When there was nothing else positive there to highlight, you knew he was going to be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 With the Browns, I spent 3 entire off-seasons bashing Quinn, Weeden, and Manziel, only to watch them draft ALL of them...with the 22nd overall pick of the draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Patrick Ramsey might have been a different QB on another team. Not saying he would have excelled... just... he didn't fit Spurrier's offense and Gibbs didn't want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoSojia Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 When in the 2017 preseason, Paxton Lynch couldn't beat out Trevor Siemian, despite the fact that the team tried to hand him the job. I knew it was over for him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
