Let's try to pick the biggest Flop.

JaMarcus (3 years):

354-680 4083 yards, 52%, 18 TD's, 23 Int's, Sacked 70 times, QB rating 65.2.
40 rushes 175 yards, 1 td, 3 fumbles


Johnny Football (2 years)

147-258 1675 yards, 57%, 7 TD's, 7 Int's, Sacked 27 times, QB rating 74.4
46 rushes 259 yards, 1 td, 7 fumbles


One was #1 pick, but fat and lazy.
One was Heisman 1st rounder, but really really dumb.

Close Call. I guess because Manziel is still in the league, JaMarcus wins. Johnny, though, is trying to end his career so.....Stay tuned.

To be fair, everyone knew Johnny was going to suck so I don't think that's much of a flop

Russell easily. He was the #1 pick - he and Bradford are the reason there's a rookie salary cap.

JR is probably the biggest bust in NFL history

Yeah, this is what I was thinking.

Same thing with Tebow, the expectations were much lower.

I have no horse in this race. JaMarcus was WAY more talented. But Johnny has glimpses now that he can play in this league, but he is still trying to sabotage it.

Lane Kiffin begged the Raiders not to draft JaMarcus. That's pretty much all you need to know.

I remember in an interview with Saban he said he couldn't get JaMarcus to watch film. What a waste of talent.

When JaMarcus held out for contract negotiations his rookie year I knew it would end badly.

You can't fix stupid.

Jamarcus. He could have been a star. Manziel isn't NFL starter material

Manziel has a chance to turn it around.

But he also is running the chance of being found dead in a hotel room.

I think Tebow would have been a better comparison to Manziel . A lot of people thought both would fail and both were late first round picks.

Manziel also plays on a Browns team that should have made the playoffs his rookie year. I think we can all agree that those raiders teams were pretty bad regardless of who their qb was.

Jamarcus was the #1 pick and had all the tools to be a top NFL QB.


Johnny was the 22nd pick and is 6'0, if that's even accurate.
