Campbell played 11 years in the NFL. Cadillac got hurt with a knee injury. Ronnie Brown played 6 years. How are those guys busts?

Carlos Rodgers also played 10 years. WTF are you talking about ?

He was a clear starter in 2011. Oakland had a really good rushing attack with McFadden (until he got injured) and Michael Bush. Jacobs Ford was alright as a receiver and Darius Heyward Bey couldn't catch a cold. Surpsingly, Denarius Moore, an UDFA if I remember, was one of the best receivers. Oakland could have made the playoffs, but they lost 4 of the last 5, and choked against San Diego at home, which put Tebw and the Broncos in the playoffs.

Jacoby Ford was so damn fast. He would've thrived in the right offense, IMO. He could've been a sick gadget player out of the backfield, too.

Only reason Al Davis drafted him

He was a good special teams player, but if my memory serves me right, he had problems with injuries and couldn't catch. Hell of a season in 2010 as a rookie, but his career went downhill after that.

lol, Jason Campbell won a lot of games and played a decade in the NFL.

Ronnie Brown revolutionized the game and was productive and played a decade in the NFL.

Cadillac got off to a great start before his career being derailed by injuries and an abominable offensive line.

Carlos Rogers played for a decade made the Pro Bowl and was All-Pro.

Despite your poor troll they were still the core players on the best SEC team in at least the last 30 years.

Who cares? They were all studs for Auburn and you would have traded any player on the Bama roster at the time for any of them.

I wouldn't call Jason Campbell a bust. He was on some bad teams and still was a pretty decent player. Ronnie Brown got stuck running the wildcat most of the time, not his fault. Cadillac is a bust.

Cadillac was not a bust. He won OROTY award.

He was ruined along with Mike Alstott by the piece of shite that is John Gruden. To be the supposed QB guru of ESPN he sure as hell couldn't coach one out of a wet paper bag when he was the coach at Tampa. frick Him!!! End rant...

Between Williams, Brown, Campbell, and Rogers... you've got 334 starts, 2 pro bowls, plus an "NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year" award.

Campbell had nearly 17,000 yards passing
Williams had 4,000 yards rushing
Brown had 5,000 yards rushing
Rogers had 17 interceptions (2 returned for a TD)

Both Brown and Williams finished their careers with more than double the rushing yards of Trent Richardson.

At his current pace, Mark Ingram will need another 2 seasons to pass Williams... and another four seasons to pass Brown in career rushing yards.


While none of those Auburn stars will ever be hall of famers, to say they were "busts" is a bit of a stretch.
