McElroy was the Qback in 2014? Not, do you really know your 'own' team?

Using the #1 pick as your only criteria is a rather subjective way to look at it considering not all teams value players the same way.

Very possible. Especially considering the money he made

Baker Mayfield about to shout. He don't want to be left out. But he's far from the worst.

Mandarich was more heavily hyped. He was anointed the greatest lineman ever before he was even drafted.

Most everyone said Tebow would never make it in the NFL made fun of Denver when they drafted him so I wouldn't call him a bust.

If this question is based on the rookie salary back then... then the answer is yes. However, Johnny Feetball should be higher or and who was the QB that was arrested for breaking into someone's house, all strung out on drugs... Ryan Leaf??

Tim Couch has to be in the mix


Fake news. Couch was the first draft pick of an expansion team. An expansion team that spent ZERO draft picks on offensive lineman in that draft. Expecting anyone to succeed in those circumstances is profoundly stupid.

Cleveland is now on its 30th starting quarterback since drafting Couch. If you didn’t know any better, you might think there are some organizational issues.

Couch and David Carr are pretty much the same player...both busts.

Came back and played and started for a few years, including on the O-Line for the Colts for a young Manning. Russell was a true overall #1 out of the league in a couple of years, purple drank slurping piece of shite bust, by far worse then Leaf or anyone else.

He was only a bust because Oakland threw him to the wolves from the getgo. There was no mentor to ease him into the NFL game.

JaMarcus had zero business being drafted that high

You can credit Allen Davis going crazy over Russell's beatdown of Notre Dame in the Sugar bowl for that one.

The answer is Manziel/LSU's bitch
