Players that you thought would be great but turned out to be busts

[Avery]

Dan Wilksonson comes to mind...

 

[Nors]

little early to be putting two guys who's seasons were basically wiped out by injury as busts dont you think? (Peterman, Rogers)...I suspect had both been 100% all yr, both would have been starting by seasons end

Answer the question. You don't advocate anything other than ripping.

Players I thought would be better than they turned out:

William Green - still think if he can get his head set he's a beast.
Jimmy Kennedy - Broke leg and he's starting to round into form
Russell Maryland - thought he was to be makor stud - nice player
Bosworth - he was a stud but injuries did him in

I remembered a good one.


I thought Tony Mandarich would re-invent Left Tackle.

 

[Natedawg44]

KiJana Carter RB- injuries robbed him, but with the speed, power and forward lean he had in college, I thought he was going to be awesome.

 

[Nors]

I still think the Boz would of been a good MLB in a 4-3. He told the seahawks he didn't want to play there because he didn't want to play in a 3-4.


A player I thought would be good is Mike Rumph. I thought he'd be the next Bobby Taylor.

Boy was I wrong on that one.

In my mind not a bust, but a player who's body broke down. He never had a real chance to have a career due to injuries.

Funny how you "Admit" to players you were wrong about but then make excuses for them.

Don't you wish you could shoot par for every course you play?

Both Roid Guys that broke down.

Roy Williams S, Dallas Cowboys: Good, but hardly great

Terrence Newman CB, Dallas Cowboys Mr. Toast himself.

I knew Jacob Rogers would be a bust. Walking injury waiting to happen and it was there in countless scouting reports for everyone to see.

Thanks for that bum Parcells.

thank you for your ignorance...now move along back to your previous troll board

Charles Rogers comes to mind as a recent, major bust. Also, if Joey Harrington doesn't get it in gear soon we could add him to the list. And that punk David Carr hasn't exactly torn the world up even with some way better than average receivers- bad oline though.

 

[trickblue]

The skins have taken some nice picks...

Heath Shuler...
Desmond Howard...
Kenard Lang...

Charles Rogers isn't a bust. When he's bee healthy he's played good.

A bust is someone that doesn't play nearly as good as he was projected. Injuries don't make someone a bust.

I disagree, bottomline is that oft-injured players don't produce. If they can't complete a regular season and a team gets rid of him early or he retires many years before normal because of injuries....=bust. I think its bottomline production vs what it cost to acquire player.

Disagree all you want, but a player that's already shown he CAN play up to his potential isn't a bust cuz he's been hurt. Period.

 

[dallasfan]

Guys that I thought would be busts and are/were:
S Peterman

Peterman is hardly a bust, calling him a bust would be like calling Al Johnson a bust last year, unless Peterman is rehabbing slowly or something I'm not aware of.

 

[DanTanna]

I thought Blair Thomas was going to be good.
Priest Holmes is way better that I thought he would be.
I knew Tim Couch was going to bust.
Akili and Shaun King too.
Terrrel Buckley never lived up to the hype.
Carr is Tim Couch+.
Knew Quincy was going to bust - all my Georgia friends hated him.
