Being fair to Tim Couch, going 7-9 with the Browns is like going 15-1 and winning the super bowl with any other team.
He also is the only Browns QB to lead them to the playoffs in the past 20 years.
+BIlly the SMall Bong thorton from india how's Manziel working out for you?
I've always said Cleveland killed Couch, not vise versa.
I've always wondered what would have happened if either McNabb or Smith number 1 and Couch had gone to the Eagles.
Yeah dunno why he's on the list, really. Unfortunately the Browns have just got shafted constantly. Fun fact. The very first championship game ever televised (1964 season) was the last time the Browns won a Championship game.
Couch and David Carr have one thing in common: they got drafted in a ”no-win scenario.”
Exactly, hard to excel with no tools to work with
David Carr got shafted so hard man. They literally had no lineman
Couch and Carr could have had really good careers if they were drafted into a team that was better.
@@freddyandfoxy7526 or getting drafted by teams that have veteran QBs and learned from them
What, no mention of Johnny Manziel ????? He is the living definition of a top pick TOTAL BUST!!!
He really sucked.
Sucked is an understatement. Kicked from NFL, CFL, helped shut down AAFL, and if he's signed to the XFL, will be a part of its death as well. He is a football curse. Ryan Leaf 2.0
Nobody expected him to be good though except the inept Browns.
@@AustinMichael Jerry Jones wanted him bad, but Cleveland pulled that steaming pile out of the outhouse before Jerry could go fishing for him.
The New XFL league even said they didn't want Manziel.
ki-Jana Carter was a good pick. Blowing out his knee does not make him a bad draft pick. He got injured. He was not a bust due to the inability to play.
Moff Jerjerrod Exactly What I said
A bust is a bust. It's not always an ability question.
@@shawnarthur5921 fair enough but there are far better choices for a choice for all time busts than a guy who blew out a knee
@@LoneRangers222 yes, there are. I'm a Bears fan, we got Rex Grossman. Lol
A bust is a bust, but this is about bad picks. It wasn't a bad pick...but a bust nonetheless.
You can't call a player who has a bunch of injuries a bust.. It's kinda not fair when your body lets you down.
X_Online Exactly
X_Online I don't know man. Frank Gore had a torn acl in college, now he's in the top 10 most rushing yards. But yes, most don't make it.
X_Online you can because they're supposed to be a superstar not a sidelined bust
but it's not their fault
That's their fault for not training properly
I stand behind Tim Couch. As a Browns fan, he would have been great if we had a line. The amount of QB's we have gone through since him have not been close to his talents
The Browns biggest mistake was drafting a rookie QB #1 as an expansion team. He was a rookie playing with other rookies and cast offs. They should have waited a couple years when they built more of the offense up, then drafted a QB. Houston made the same mistake with David Carr.
Hello Brian Hoyer best record in 20 yrs 7-9
Ten Second BuickGN .agree it's not fair to put couch on this so called list.ill give ya one they didn't put on that they should have.remember MIKE JUNKIN out of Duke University.
I personally think Johnny Manziel was better than tim
But you are riht
If u get drafted by Cleveland or the Bengals in the first round take that signing bonus and invest in a franchise KFC.
J Campezzi not anymore no
Lmao mostly true
True...just like real life you sometimes gotta be in the right place at the right time.
No, investing in a Chic fil a or McDonald's would be the smarter route
AJ Greene, Joe Thomas, Joe Haden etc. have made it.
Tim Couch and Brady Quinn should share a spot.
Calling Davd Carr a bust is not fair. He was drafted #1 by an expansion team that was rag-tag at best. An impossible situation, at best. Their O-line was predictably horrible, plus he was thrown right in rather than sitting for a bit behind a veteran. An impossible situation.
Greg Stanley, I think he’s still running for his life. That Texans team arguably had the worst o-line in NFL history.
You say tim couch should still be on list but not Carr......
What? and the Browns were not an expansion team for Couch?
@@alexparaskevas3987 yes they was, they came back in 99, guess who they drafted that year.....
so why wouldn't couch get a pass? He at least made the playoffs once.
Also David Carr was put on a horrible team. He was lucky to be alive after his tenure with the Texans. How does someone get sacked 70 plus times in a season????
BigSkyGaming the line blocks and the qb needs 5-6 seconds to throw. The line couldn't do that
Based on the game footage you get that many sacks by no looking downfield for the many open receivers he would just not see or have the confidence to throw too. He was absolutely a bust. Plus Seattle has had a terrible O-line the entire career of russel wilson and he's been very successful
Chris: You are partially correct. Line was awful but you don’t need 5-6 secs to pass the ball. Most passes are thrown in four seconds or less. Brady is three or less, but of course, he’s Brady.
He did lead the league in completion percentage
BigSkyGaming David Carr left practice early every day ,ask his texans teammates
Tim Couch wasn't that bad. He didn't deserve #6.
Agreed. He was the last player to lead the Browns to playoffs, got hurt right before they started and the next year they didn't start him. He got sacked 166 times in 5 seasons, that is ridiculous.
I had to go look up that sacks stat because I was convinced you were mistaken. Holy shit. I mean, I remember him getting sacked a lot but twice sacked over 50 times? Figure 10-15 were his fault (not reading defense presnap well enough, not throwing away, etc) that means the rest were on his line (or the defense's complete and total lack of fear of the Browns running game.)
People give dog on him more than they should. Their were plenty of worse Browns QB draft picks than him.
bpstyles- Agreed but David Carr falls in that same category. He was sacked more times his first season than anyone if NFL history and the broke that record the next year. You can't develop properly as a great NFL quarterback if you fear for you life for years the second you snap the ball.
Totally agree.. David Carr, Joey Harrington, Blaine Gabbret, Johnny Manziel were all worst
David Carr was beat by his o-line! He was pretty good!
As a Raiders fan, JaMarcus Russell is the biggest BUST in NFL history not Ryan Leaf. Russell was drafted #1 overall while Leaf was 2nd. Russell never signed with another team after being cut while Leaf was signed by Tampa, Dallas and Seattle and even started for the Cowboys. Russell also got $32M guaranteed while Leaf only got $11M guaranteed.
Honestly, nearly every Raiders First Round picks from 2001-2017 should be on this BUST list... JaMarcus Russell, Darren McFadden, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Roland McClain, DJ Hayden, Michael Huff, Fabian Washington, Robert Gallery, Derrick Gibson, Karl Joseph and Gareon Conley. Only one that was great was Khalil Mack whom they traded for peanuts.... so stupid.
The Raiders had more guts than any franchise to draft the players they did and I loved it at the time with Jamarcus and Darren McFadden but it never paid off :/ and you guys literally did trade Khalil Mack for peanuts.....sorry, dawg
While you can quote many analysts saying Russell would be good, many others said he would be bad it was pretty much split down the middle about half and half. Every analyst said Leaf would be good and many said he would be better than Manning. It is not just draft location it also about expectation, half of all experts believed Russell would fail, ALL thought Leaf would succeed. Russell was 7-18 as a starter 4083 yds 18 TDs 23 INTs, QB rating of 65.2, Leaf was 4-17 as a starter 3666 yds 14 TDs and 36 INTs QB rating of 50.0. The money argument doesn't make since b/c the pay scale for 1st round picks was already rising exponentially across the board and changes every year, it must be taken in context with the times. The salary cap was more than double when when Russell was drafted than when Leaf was drafted and was rising by 7 mill a year compared to 5 mill a year when Leaf was drafted (They were drafted 9 years apart and Ryan Leaf received the largest bonus by a rookie up to that point). So Russell had lower expectations, won more games, threw more touchdowns, threw less interceptions and had a higher passer rating soooo Leaf is the bigger bust by a wide margin.
Wrong. JaMarcus Russell was the consensus pick in every mock draft having him going #1 overall. And I remember NFL scouts raving about him having the greatest workout they'd ever seen. walterfootball.com/draft2007.php
Stats don't really matter cause Leaf had less starts due to injuring his shoulder. Not to mention Russell had more talent around him. Both were terrible. Money also don't matter cause no matter the year Russell would always be paid more as the #1 overall pick while Leaf would be paid less as the #2 overall pick. Also #1 overall picks have higher expectations to succeed over the #2 overall pick. So not only was Russell paid more money but had higher expectations to succeed. Even then Leaf had 3 other teams that were interested in his services while 0 teams wanted Russell.
Bottom line no #2 overall pick can be a bigger bust than the #1 overall pick. And that's JaMarcus Russell.
@@jamslam5641 Lane Kiffen the coach for one didn't want to draft him and you can look up videos from at the time of all the analysts that said he was going to be a bust. Again Leaf had higher expectations b/c people said he could be better than Manning, no one said that about Russell. Bottom line Leaf is considered the biggest bust by all experts not jaded crybaby Raider fans who like to play the victims. So it is possible because it happened.
Peyton Manning was clearly heads and shoulders above Ryan Leaf in draft according to these experts. So no, Leaf wasn't a consensus #1 as you believe. Meanwhile no one thought any other QB was better than JaMarcus Russell:
www.si.com/vault/1998/04/13/241451/the-chairmen-peyton-manning-and-ryan-leaf-are-the-class-of-the-nfl-draft-but-experts-say-one-of-them-stands-head-and-shoulder-pads-above-the-other
Again, it's not "crybaby" Raiders fans who think Russell is the biggest bust, it's COMMON SENSE. No one drafts a player #1 overall and thinks the next guy will be better!!!! You draft the guy #1 overall and pay him more because you believe he's the best player available in the draft!!!! Stop being a clueless moron. Thanks.
This should be called busts not worst picks
right its not like its the recruitment staffs fault that the title suggests at, its the players fault or maybe coaching staff
they aren't sports minded
If they called it busts then ESPN would have this video pulled because of all the footage they stole. Not only would 98% of the vid be their footage it would be the name of the show it came from.
let me get you some tissues you fucking fuck
Haha I wouldn't be surprised if espn did try to pull it, that's one reason I hate them
How did Johnny Manziel miss the cut?!
he was #22 and not the Browns first pick of the draft.
Also he wasn't expected to be a great player
What ever happened to him anyway? He got cut? I remember hearing something about possible rehab.
Ikr
He should have made honorable mention.
Paul Tagliabue: "With the first pick in the Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select, a Quarterback, from the University of Tennessee, Peyton Manning."
San Diego Chargers: "Well, shit..."
Chargers fans attending the draft actually cheered because they were going to get Ryan Leaf.
I thought you were going to say "from the University of Illinois, Jeff George."
I remember that draft and the big hoopla about who would go one and who was gonna go two between Ryan and Peyton. Clearly the Colts made the best choice at #2
@@1Cheytown The Colts selected first, idiot.
The Chargers felt Ryan Leaf was good anyway, just needed some coaching and maturity. They had little idea how immature he was, though.
Half these guys had injuries. Injury doesn’t constitute bad players
The title didn't say bad players, it said bad picks and these ended up being bad decisions by these organizations.
Can you really blame anyone for being a bust if they were drafted by the Browns?
you like the redskins....no room to talk....
Couch really wasn't bad, but it was an expansion team. The best lineman was Ross Verba... He had no chance first couple of years. At least he led his team to the playoffs, most qb busts never get there.
Very true, but I'm speaking generally - None of the Browns first rd picks since 2010 are still on the roster
The only thing the Browns dominate at... failed draft picks
^ There always has to be that one guy who takes a joke seriously...
The biggest bust of all time is whoever let Skip Bayless speak
L
hahahaha
W
PREEEACH!
Miles Greb this made my day!!
Tebowwwwwww!
David Carr wasn’t bad, it was the the o line
David Carr got human sacrificed. After having to give up good players to fill the rosters of the expansion Jags and Panthers the teams refused to do that again. Instead they gave up their scrubs to fill the roster of the Texans.
Agreed. The offensive line was swiss cheese.
Jeremy Buchanan thanks you agreed
Kyler Murray is going to be like David Carr with that o-line already gave up 20 sacks
Yeah he never had a chance. Shouldnt be here
Jamarcus Russel was lazy. The team gave him a blank DVD to watch and prepare and he didn't bother to watch it.
I remember one of his teammates said he liked to spend his time with Asian strippers over team meetings. Problem with his was Al Davis was so crazy over him that he and his agent knew he would pay what ever it took to get him. They they signed him for a ridicules amount that would be payed whether he played or not. He started to get tired of running and his fat body get some aches in it and he said hey I get to the money no matter what I do so I might as well not kill myself. All that money is a lot when you young and he thought it would never run out. Seriously if he invested it and was smart with it he could have taken it played for 3 year sucked and then left the NFL with a lot of money. Of corse that did not happen and he needed to come back and nobody wanted to give him another chance.
@@johnmiller5679 In fairness they're paid by where they're picked. Not a lot of wiggle room. It's one reason the rookir wage scale is in now.
Shows up to training camp at 330
Ha Vu don't matter our FAMILY STILL RICH AN ITS 2020 HE DID WAT THE PLAN WAS GET THE MONEY 36 MILLION CASH UP FRONT LOL NOW THEY DONT DO DEALS LIKE DAT
@@johnjones9827 das scrait up troof
The only thing that killed this list was all the players who were on it because of injuries
frequent injuries don't excuse someone from being a bust
Started in 1990 and limited to top 6 picks
Jason Smith T 2009 injury
JaMarcus Russell 2007
Charles Rogers WR 2003
Michael Williams OT 2002
Akili Smith QB 1999
Ryan Leaf 1998
Curtis Enis 1998 injury
Heath Shuler 1994
David Klingler 1992 6th pick
Bruce Pickens 1991
NOT
Lawrence Phillips 1996 not close to being as bad as Enis as a football player
also 6th pick
Tim Couch had over 60 starts
David Carr 2002 had too long a career and almost 100 starts
To me the term "bad draft pick" means that the team used poor judgement at the time of the draft. They may have overestimated the player's talent or misunderstood how he could fit into their organization. Since injuries are not foreseeable, it is not accurate to describe them as a "bad draft pick". I could accept "unlucky draft pick" or "disappointing draft pick".
Gronk had injuries but he's still a top tight end
"You're not supposed to be as strong as I am. You're not supposed to be as fast as I am. You're not supposed to be as good as I am." He forgot one, "You're not supposed to take as many steroids and snort as much coke as I do and not have a heart attack."
Mandarich=Shit.
Headbangers and Hooligans....ROTF!! Your comment was CLASSIC and RIGHT ON the MONEY! LMAO!!
Reggie White tossed him aside with one arm like a toddler.
Nobody's mentioned the story at the time that if he didn't get his contract done he was going to fight Mike Tyson instead. Oh yeah, and I think him and his agent really believed it.
But he had his moments with the Colts.
Headbangers and Hooligans you should watch his segment on his look back on his career he’s a changed person now and he showed some brilliance with the colts but it was too late
Once I noticed Ryan Leaf wasn't in the list by the time I got to #5, I knew he had to be #1.
RIP Charles Rogers...big Wolverines fan here, but respected the game you played with Sparty.
With the exception of QB Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell, the quarterbacks on this list were mainly bad because their offensive line didn't protect him very well. Think about it. Tim Couch was the first pick in the 1999 NFL Draft before the 1999-2000 season. The Cleveland Browns were just returning to the league after their so-called "3-year departure" in the NFL. The "New" Cleveland Browns were just rejoining the league and clearly weren't ready: they started 2-14 and never won a home game. Plus, Tim Couch DID make a playoff appearance in 2002 when they finished 9-7, 2nd in the AFC North. Even though they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tim Couch kinda led his team to the playoffs. He wasn't a good QB as we know today, but usually the Browns' offensive line gave up on him and he was hated upon by Browns' fans. This also happened to the David Carr; the Texans were a new franchise and we didn't really expect them to do that well. So WatchMojo, you have something top think about.
I was just about to write the same thing, thank you for saving me the time.
No prob
To be fair to JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf they both had to deal with personal issues that didn’t help them. I could be wrong but neither player got the off the field help they needed when they were players.
David Carr is not a bust. He was a victim of a terrible front office in Houston.
Yeah and Watson will be next!
Houston Texans had no offensive line not David Carr fault
And o line
They had no team. They started up with free agents. He may not have been that bad but we will never know.
I'm guessing it's cause the Texans could have taken someone else who went on to greater success. The 2002 draft class was admittedly weak, but how do you justify not taking Julius Peppers or Ed Reed when both are still available on the board?
Couch didn't have a average line, he had a TERRIBLE line that made him run for his life before he tore his rotator cuff.
Remember that the same year that Ryan Leaf was drafted was also the year Peyton Manning was as well. I remember reading a quote from the Colts that said they decided that since talent-wise they were about equal, they decided to go for character as well. Good decision.
My dad knew Ryan Leaf. Went to school with him. He told me almost everybody hated him at school. Even the nicest kid in school hated him
Was he a bully?. What was he like?
In another documentary they talk about how in college during he senior year he got only 1 vote for team captain
That all says something about the type of guy he is
Ryan leaf wrote me back on ig once
It was probably his vote too!
Lmao all you guys did was rearrange the NFL's list and actually kept some at the same spot
its just a espn video lol
It's just the answers are so obvious.
ya from the NFL top 10 draft bust episode
+True Journey NFL network does top 10 episodes and 70% of the footage was from there or ESPN
+Anthony Schaff you can make an arguement for different players or at least get your own footage
Couch was not a bad pick. He just had no team. The Browns got screwed so hard in the expansion draft. They should have traded down to get multiple selections, or traded up lower picks for the same. Couch had no one to throw to, no one to hand the ball off to, and no one to protect him. On top of that he had a horrific front office and a rookie head coach who would never again be a head coach in the NFL after being fired by the Browns. Couch led the team to the playoffs with basically no team when Butch Davis took over. If he'd had ANY sort of team, we'd be having a different conversation about Tim Couch.
I was thinking that while watching. Its a game about teams not single men.
There are a lot of rookie quarterbacks who had and have a horrible offensive line and are still good
@@tysonmecham3698 So? It wasn't just the offensive line that was horrible. Most of the team just flat-out sucked.
@@lcrossmk8563 yes
@@tysonmecham3698 And yet, despite all that, look at how the Browns did under him. They won their first game since returning to the league on a Hail Mary, and went from 2-14 to 7-9, which should have been 8-8, but got screwed by the refs. And then, what does he do in 2002? Lead the Browns all the way to the playoffs. And they actually almost won the game against the Steelers in the playoffs and would've won had they not been on the wrong end of a three-yard rush in the final seconds.
Jamarcus Russel should be #1.............he was drafted #1 and he's the ALL TIME draft pick bust hands down
In all of Sports..
I thought Ryan Leaf was the all time worst?
Tony Mandrich was worse. Way more hype for him coming out than Russell. It was a huge story and if it was say New York that drafted Mandrich it would have been even more of a circus
Yes JaMarcus should be No#1 he was No#1 overall pick.. Leaf was #2 overall. Once JaMarcus got paid he checked out. Leaf just sucked.
The Tony Mandarich was real bad because the packers could of drafter Barry Sanders. The packers with both Favre and Sanders would of been scary and would of won more than one superbowl that Favre won.
1. Jamarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf
Russell, at least Leaf remained somewhat athletic. Russell just let himself go.
Ryan Leaf...
He was taken 2nd overall behind Peyton Manning & there were analysts that actually thought the Colts wouldn't be wrong if they chose Leaf over Manning due to his potential
Given what Manning became & what happened to Leaf, it's gotta be Leaf
+Yung Shonen I gotta disagree. I am a raiders fan, so maybe I'm biased. it was painful watching him all those years. he actually made other players worse. I think the raiders were like 4-12 on average with him too. they would go three and out about 90% of the time on offense
I feel u. You watched Ja'Marcus so you have a better perspective on him than I do
But he wasn't drafted along with / compared to Peyton Manning lol
Yung Shonen true, being next to Peyton must have made it so much worse. I wanna say the raiders could have drafted Calvin Johnson instead
Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.
Chump Johnson ... ha ha
Way too funny LOL
My God...I had completely forgotten that MWC came on the air in the late 1980's; it's usually associated with the 90's. So at the time of its first season Al Bundy is 39 or 40.
Yeah and that’s why he became a shoe salesman 😂
as a Fullback even!
Lame. Why do losers keep copy/pasting the same crap?
Thank you for posting the video.
Johnny Manziel should of been on this list lol
Johnny Manziel......... (Cough) (Cough)
Before they drafted Manziel, the GM should've asked him, "why didn't any of his teammates show up to his birthday party?"🤔
Not Johnny. He was a late round pick and everyone knew he had issues
+jacob alterman *late first round pick
Lol. love that movie
+Patrick Jenrette
That's true.
Did you guys just copy the ESPN program? Where is Johnny Manzel
Manziel
Manziel was picked in the early 20s. Doesn't really make sense to have anyone on this list drafted outside of the top 7.
Communist Doggo his career is over
Gage everyone knew manziel would suck on Sunday’s except for the browns. And possibly u lol
The Browns are on this list a lot. Throw in Manziel you got 1 more.
Ryan Leaf made the list of "Top NFL Draft Pick Busts" as well as "Biggest Sports Flops," both on ESPN, in SPECTACULAR fashion!!!!
I'm shocked Johnny Manziel isn't on this list.
I think this list was made before he came into the NFL, wasn't it?
Oh he will...list needs to be updated.
@@ChrisJ926 "Johnny Football" was in the 2014 draft... The date on this list is 2016.........
Love Jamarcus Russell talking about "having so much on my plate." Yeah you did, that's why you were terrible.
Declan Conroy Jawalrus
It's not that he had so much on his plate. The problem was he ate it all and then some.
Bengals need to stop drafting. Just trade picks for players and call it day
ChicagoDefense To be fair, the Bengals drafts lately have been good. But since you don’t pay attention...
is that why the bungles are 3 - 6? because of good drafts lately?
Andrew R You can’t even spell, no credibility
Wolfgame30 because of coaching but yes the 2017 class sucked. Before that it was decent.
Andrew R over all=overall. Dose=does.
This video should be titled "Top 10 acquisitions by the CFL."
Todd Marijuanavich deserves to be right next to Jamarcus
His off the field laziness still makes him a huge bust
True, but Todd didn’t get paid like JaMarcus did, and the money was his downfall. Todd was the result of a bad experiment by his father, making him toss footballs while still in a crib and diapers.
Yes.. I forgot about him..!! 😂😂😂😂
Oh ya mr heroin
Wish they were all true busts. The guys who were injured often shouldn't be on this list. It's not like they got to the NFL and just sucked ass.
Nailed it. Brian Bosworth's shoulders were so bad that he had to retire after 3 years. Arthritis will do that to you.
Yep, same with Ki-Jana Carter. If I remember I don't think he was hit when he blew his knee.
Justin Blackmon, Jim Drunkenmiller, Johnny Manziel should replace the names of those who couldn't keep healthy. These 3 were healthy but they just plain suck and had off field issues
C6evolution2008 yea but you have to think that a bust is a pick that they wish they could take back, if a player is good but gets injured a lot and hardly plays he in no shape could change a team and they would've probably wanted that good pick for a player who could elevate the teams play
True that. Not their fault their bodies broke on 'em. Save the "bust" argument for wastes of space that don't bother to try.
How to make a biggest bust list:
#1 Ryan Leaf
#2 JaMarcus Russell
Or vice-versa
Christy S Jamarcus is definitely #1
What about Johnny Football though? You don't think he should at least be close to the top? I do. He had so much hype behind him! Him and RG3
Agreed, Leaf was a fucking joke. Easily in the top 3 biggest busts ever.
@@popeyeschickenisthebestchicken no, leaf is on a whole other level
@@craigowenlindvalljr8300 rg3 was killed by the Redskins
Tim couch was probably the best quarterback the browns had. They had no line to protect him. He was very talented. Think of Andrew Luck today, just retired because he got hit so much
At 4:28 in the video some QB from Purdue named Brees was being picked off. Whatever happened to him?
I heard he's working at a 7-11 in El Segundo
Is that drew brees like for real?
Yes Drew Brees played for Purdue
I think he won a ring. But where he is now no clue...lol
how Ki Jana a bust?? that's was just unfortunate what happened to him
Yep, not a bust at all IMHO.
I agree, there are SO many 1st round picks that were worse.
+usernamunavailiable Part of being a great player is being durable. You think Walter Payton would've been in the HOF, if he was only able to play 5 games a year?
@lewis
No, I don't. I also don't think it's appropriate to say someone was a "bad draft pick" for injuries that happened AFTER they were drafted, and were unforeseeable, and honestly could have probably happened to anyone.
You don't honestly think great players were just immune to injuries, do you? Sometimes it's luck.
+SAM BRICKELL Actually if a #1 draft pick can't stay healthy, he can't help your team. If he can't help your team as a #1 pick then he's a bust.
If Ryan Leaf had that much competitive drive against opposing defenses like he did against the San Diego media.
As a packers a packers fan it hurt when they said we missed out on dion sanders and barry sanders
Listening to Jamarcus Russell... You can tell he "attended" an SEC school.
That's racist
Nope, not at all. I work at an NCAA university, that shall remain nameless. However, any college student should be able to construct a coherent sentence by the end of their tenure at university. But, c'mon, we all know most SEC schools and many other top schools don't even make their top athletes attend classes and instead they give them answers instead.
How did Johnny Manziel not make this list?
Because nobody was surprised when he sucked.
Because he was picked at the bottom of the 1st round.
I personally think that there was some talent there that could be developed but off-field issues prevented whatever talent he did have to be revealed. The study that happened between Bridgewater and Manziel said Bridgewater is better...Browns went with the advise of a HOMELESS guy (no offense to homeless people, of course) over an official report. Of course the guy would be a bust, but its not a top ten busts because the investment didnt include a top 10 pick.
How does Manziel not make the list and how does Brady Quinn not make the list? OK not in the top ten but JFC. And what about Brandon (dick) Weeden? Really? A 28-yo rookie? Who the F was churning out the Browns' top floor nose candy?
Have the final story about Manziel NFL career been written? There's always time for a floundering NFL team to bring in Manziel, pitch the tent for a little "Johnny Ball"
The Browns killed Tim Couch. He took a shitty Kentucky team and made them a tough team to play. If he could have studied behind a good QB for a few seasons he could have been one of the greats.
I hate how much Tim Couch gets shit on. Was put a god awful expansion team, but still Only qb to take browns to playoffs since they came back. He had absolutely no talent around him and was still able to win some games. If he was on any Browns team from the last couple years they would be a playoff team every year.
The Browns kill all players careers. Players leave the Browns with basically no NFL legacy. Just broken bodies and shattered dreams and regrets that they were just good enough to get snagged by the Browns early in the draft. Think of all of the great players who dodged a major career bullet by not being picked by the Browns. Having a team like the Browns existing in the NFL is just cruel to up and coming talent. You have players hoping to stay in school for as many years as it takes for the Browns to get out of the top 3 picks.
Seems like a double edged sword being a top draft pick. You get picked by awful teams that don't know what to do with you. Probably why Eli Manning refused to play for the Chargers. Good decision on his part to go with the Giants.
We hear the term Coach killer . In the Browns case there should be a term called career killer.
Aera Way back in the 80s. , John Elway ruffled a few feathers when he was going to be drafted by the then.Baltimore Colts and allegedly said something like he didn’t like Crab Cakes and was not going to settle in Baltimore. So he finally got himself picked up by the other horse and was booed by Colts fans when he appeared in Baltimore. Of course it was a good move by Elway but I think Elway was one of the first to throw a pissy towards a place he didn’t want to go !
Tim Couch Was A Great Player, it’s his team that ruined him
110%. Couch may not even a great playoff QB, but as mentioned, he had a crap O line
That's why the Browns we're at the time, were known as the FACTORY OF SADNESS.
4:26 crazy to see Brees in college and now he's retired.
And won a Super Bowl with the Saints.
I cant believe that priest actually said “all the good he did” when he murdered someone. Wow
MarcusCism no actually it doesn't lol
ismokkekkush420 Phillips' cellmate, Damion Soward, 37, was found unresponsive inside the cell the two men were sharing. Prison officials discovered Soward's body after a guard heard Phillips yell, "Man down,'' according to a copy of the incident report.
In letters Phillips wrote to former coaches and mentors during an 18-month span prior to Soward's death, Phillips said he'd had conflicts with gang members and accepted solitary confinement as an alternative to sharing a cell with a gang member. Soward was serving an 82-year sentence for murdering a rival gang member.
Lawrence Phillips came from an abusive childhood and in all likelihood had CTE.
Go_F_Urself69. That's how fucked up they are in Nebraska
There may not have been much good, but there is still good.
Funerals were not made so that some sick fuck could talk about all the bad stuff a person does. The comment appears to have been made at a similar time to the funeral so it's perfectly fine.
pretty high and mighty considering every school has scandals in its history
Ryan leaf more like Ryan queef. Am I?right guys?
crickets ....
+Chris Moffitt you wrong for that lol
Lol
+Chris Moffitt funnier than the joke
How about Ryan Laff(laugh)
Has anyone mentioned Rich Campbell, 1981 first round pick at quarterback by the Packers? He never started a game for them, and it was clear at training cam that he was not even close to NFL level.
Even worse, underrated QBs in Neil Lomax (at pick 33) and Wade Wilson (at pick 210) were on the board if the Packers really wanted one.
One year after they cut Charles Rogers, the Lions selected another wide-receiver second overall named Calvin Johnson. I bet we know how that turned out.
Calvin is now a Hall Of Famer.
Matt leinart should have been included.
He was smart to wait a year and party, otherwise he'd been #1 as a Junior and easily on this list.
As a Cardinals fan I second this
He was
I used to refer to Matt Leinart as the second coming of Ryan Leaf.
Bronco Jedi 88
Thank you..yeah that dude I thought won heisman and was a stud in the NCAA and never threw even 3,000 yards in a season
Why does footage from 2003 looks like it was captured via Sega CD?
rviola 😂😂😂
video technology has changed over the years and the transition from the use of real film to video tape to electronic data also affects video quality. I think the Sega CD would look better than something shot on film depending on the viewing technology.
rviola 32 bit lol
That comment murdered me!! lol
because it was shot on digital in standard definition which does not hold up over time. Either modern HD or film, which is why footage from the early 2000s looks worse than footage from the 70s.
RIP Charles.
What about Gino Torreta? A Heisman winner who I believe was drafted dead last?
Anybody that thinks David Carr was a bust is an idiot. He spent his career on his back. Kind of hard to play QB that way. Same for Tim Couch. The people that make these lists must not watch football. Ever.
That was his own fault. He had a terrible attitude, never did any of the research that make many or brady successful and based on a ton of game footage he never looked downfield for wide open receivers so most of his sacks were his own fault. Plus seattle has a terrible o-line and russel wilson is still lighting it up. He was a complete bust
Doug. Carr was a bust. He should learn to get rid of the ball quicker. You'd think with all those hits to his noggin he would have learned.
@@MrAchilles013 wilson had weapons on the receiver front, the leagues best defense the AND Marshawn Lynch. Couch had nothing that compares to what Wilson had. Can't compare the two
@@jeremyjames1659 you might wanna look back at the games before saying that. Hard to get rid of the ball quicker when you can barely even get your feet set to look for a receiver before the defense is all up in your face. Constantly being in the bottom tier of the offensive line rankings should prove just how much the fault should lie on them.
I was comparing him to Carr not Couch
What about Manziel?
Manziel was picked in the 20's and started 3 gamed. Outside of the drugs he was never given a chance
He was taken 22 overall, so not a top 5 pick.
Manziel was drafted years after ESPN aired that episode that which watchmojo decided to rip off
Dennis wrong. It was ESPN
Mark Guerrero There was an NFL network top ten list just like this
When are you going to update this with 2020 packers pics
Number 1 will always be Tampa drafting Bo Jackson after he said he'd never play there, then he didn't.
Its so funny that Manning and Leaf were taken nearly at the same time and Manning just retired a Super Bowl champion and Leaf is in jail for burglary.
The Colts stand by their story that it was not a hard call for them to pick Manning.
100k? Millions you mean.
It really is a pathetic story of self destruction...he was paid tens of millions of dollars and breaks into houses to steal stuff. Seriously WTF.
ddebenedictis crackheads gonna do crackhead things
joeylawn36111 Manziel's family is rich though so he's set for life even if he screws off.
It's hard to call Carter a bad pick... he tore up his knee before ACL rehabilitation became common injuries to come back from in the NFL.
Worst one decision-wise for the Bengals was Akili Smith. Hands down.
Seriously. It's impossible to predict how he would have played if his knee stayed healthy.
Ki-Jana Carter was actually good. It is unfair that he's on this list
Exactly. And he's admitted he didn't put any effort into trying to learn the NFL game.
Curtis Enis was worse
High draft picks have so much pressure on them no wonder a lot of them don’t pan out. Injuries definitely worsen their confidence too.
You guys should make the app available on xbox/ps I'd probably use it instead of UA-cam often.
Johnny manziel
?
+King Coaster, Manziel was taken 22 overall, so he was not a top 5 pick. By the way the Browns had two first round picks that year, Justin Gilbert was the browns first pick.
+King Ape manziel is a bigger bust than leaf and Russell combined they were starters for 20 some games where manziel couldn't even win the job In Cleveland and he fails to even get his life together
+Gage Gilson I feel the browns never game him a chance he played pretty good when he did play but I feel the main reason he was drafted was for publicity and jersey sales
+Pat Shot he really didn't play well had a couple ok games but so did leaf and Russell! don't forget the Browns traded alot to get back in the 2nd round to get him
No Johnny Football at #1?
I know he was not a #1 pick but........ BUST!
+Rauscheder ryan leafe was a much bigger bust than manziel. I mean him and Payton manning were drafted in the same year, and the charges picked Leafe of manning.
+Sam Carter Actually, the Colts had the first overall pick, and they picked Manning over Leaf so the Chargers didn't have a choice but Leaf, but still, they picked Leaf over many greats such as Charles Woodson and Matt Hasselback.
I know, I was waiting for that joke
Hes not even top 50 worst draft choices. Leaf is probably the biggest bust in the history of NA sports.
You had to mention friggin' Mandarich!!!!!
Listening to JaMarcus speak, it's clear why he couldn't succeed as a quarterback. He's not a very smart man.
He literally pretended to watch the tapes the team gave him. A+ slacker.
He's from the South, that's how some people talk down there whether they are genius or idiots. You are not a very smart man if you don't know that. Or are you from another country?
Pretty smart to me. Took the Raiders blind.
@@JarthenGreenmeadow they weren't even tapes that they gave him, yet he said he watched them when the coaches asked.
Ummm Mike Tyson did pretty well as a boxer ... and the biggest bust of all times is #45 l included his stint in the USFL..
To me Johnny Manziel is number 1 because at least JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf Play the full season Johnny Manziel barely played 2 games...
You stupid
how?
Manziel was drafted late in the first round and most analysts weren't expecting superstar, ALL analysts were hype on Russell after sugar bowl and a lot felt leaf should've been taken over manning
TheMerk52 Perfectly said. Being taken with the 22nd pick does not come with greater expectations than 1st or 2nd overall.
Manziel also only started two games, when he played he wasn't even that bad. His off field decisions end it
The Packers drafted Tony Mandarich when they could have drafted Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders and Derrick Thomas.
The Redskins drafted Heath Shuler when they could have drafted Larry Allen and even Kurt Warner who wasn't drafted at all.
The Bengals drafted Ki-Jana Carter when they could have drafted Steve McNair, Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, Curtis Martin and Terrell Davis.
The Browns drafted Courtney Brown when they could have drafted Brian Urlacher, Shaun Alexander, and a relatively famous quarterback named Tom Brady.
The Browns drafted Tim Couch when they could have drafted Donovan McNabb, Edgerrin James, Ricky Williams, Torry Holt and Champ Bailey.
The Rams drafted Lawrence Phillips when they could have drafted Eddie George, Marvin Harrison, Ray Lewis, Brian Dawkins, Terrell Owens, Zach Thomas and even Adam Vinatieri who would kick the game winning field goal against the Rams in Super Bowl 36.
The Bengals drafted Akili Smith when they could have drafted Edgerrin James, Ricky Williams, Torry Holt and Champ Bailey.
The Lions drafted Charles Rogers when they could have drafted Andre Johnson, Terrell Suggs, Troy Polamalu, Dallas Clark, Larry Johnson, Nnamdi Asomugha, Anquan Boldin, Lance Briggs, Jason Witten, Asante Samuel, Robert Mathis, Antonio Gates and even Tony Romo (I know, it was a stacked draft)
The Raiders drafted JaMarcus Russell when they could have drafted Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch and Darrelle Revis.
The Chargers drafted Ryan Leaf when they could have drafted Charles Woodson, Fred Taylor, Randy Moss, Alan Faneca, Ahman Green, Hines Ward, Matt Hasselbeck and London Fletcher.
We have to remember that some team owners just want to throw an assumed superhero on the field and not really invest in the rest of the positions. David Carr & Tim Couch were really good in their early years, but sadly their teams never surrounded them with time to throw. Those teams just want to sell tickets.
This list is pretty accurate, there are so many to choose from. Ryan Leaf, Jamarkus Russell, Heath Shuler, Josh Freeman, Brady Quinn, Aaron Brooks, Andre Ware, Derek Anderson, Rick Mirer, Tim Couch, Charlie Frye, Quincy Carter, Rob Johnson, Chris Weinke, Matt Leinart, Byron Leftwich, Patrick Ramsey, Tony Eason, Kyle Bohler, Jeff George, JP Loseman, Tommy Madox, Vince Young, Joey Harrington, David Carr, David Klinger, Scott Mitchell, all of Cleveland QB's for decades.
Steelers drafted Gabe Rivera over a University of Pittsburgh QB named Dan Marino. Marino could've been Bradshaw's replacement for years. Rivera's career lasted six games after being paralyzed in an accident driving drunk.
wjlintz Agreed. Worst mistake ever made by the Steelers in a draft. It’s ironic that the Steelers supposedly passed on Marino, because they thought he had a problem with cocaine. Instead, they drafted someone that obviously had a problem with alcohol.
Second worst. The Steelers did pass on a guy named John Constatine Unitas. . . . .
To Marino honesty he said he needed to get away from Pittsburgh.
Uh, okay is that Johnny Unitas? The last name is known to me but not the first. The Steelers would be kicking themselves for that but would Dan Marino have become the name he is, as a backup to Terry Bradshaw?
Yes.... The Steelers CUT the Pittsburgh native, Johnny Unitas... Steelers Head Coach Walt Kiesling thought Unitas was "not smart enough to quarterback an NFL team." :-)
Trent Richardson, Johnny Manziel, Matt Leinart, most players in the browns and jaguars organizations
oh forgot about Leinart -- heavens he was awful too
T.J. YELDON.....WHAT A BUST!!
Denise Masters Leinart a real Bust i was a fan of him when he was in USC
heh, your comment reads one year ago. the browns went 0-16 and the Jags probably could've gone to the superbowl if their semi-finals wasn't against the patriots. juss sayin'
At least the Jags tried. Had the Jags won, the super bowl would have been even more interesting to watch.
What about Peter Warrick? 4th overall pick in 2000, he was supposed to change the way the game was played. I think his best season was like 660 yards.
He's in the top 15 of top 10
Shortest book ever written:
"Great Cleveland Browns Quarterback Draft Picks"
No one will ever know how great Tim Couch could have been because he was thrown to the wolves in Cleveland.
Couch was 8-6 as a starter in 2002 before a broken leg ended his season. He led several last minute comeback wins and the Browns were dubbed the Kardiac Kids II. By the way, he helped lead them to the playoffs, the LAST time Cleveland has been there. So I am not sure all Browns would agree that he is a bust.
Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart. Two Heisman trophy winners from USC that never really took off.
Always felt like JaMarcus Russell wasn't very good for LSU, so it was confusing as to why he'd be selected 1st overall. Then again it was the Raiders...
just fill the list with Browns and Jets picks
Mostly Browns... Damn that organization is bad
I was noticing a pattern there for a minute with the Browns...
gtfo giants fan
You have balls
+BIlly the SMall Bong thorton from india They weren't 7-9 in 99....
The Browns could have had number 10 - 1 spots completely on theyre own.
dont forget about the bungles. Basically any team from ohio took almost half that list.
+dzdmre Carter's inclusion on the list is only because the injuries he suffered were detrimental, Smith in 1999 was a bad choice considering the trade offer from the Saints. Not to mention the ONE YEAR he had in Oregon.
I realize this clip is 3 years old.
How about people who were drafted by good/great/championship teams in round 1 who flopped?
In this clip nearly every person was drafted by a crappy team.
Nobody remembers gino torretta spelling that wrong but this guy won a heisman.
the Browns busts were probably more on the franchise than the player
Having the record for most completions basically means your team has no running game.nothing to brag about at all
I couldn't care less how his team's run game is. Completing 379 passes and breaking Manning's rookie record is not a bad thing.
Couch was a good QB. Most of us in CLE realize he was just surrounded by a horrible supporting cast.
Right, Couch was okay but the Browns broke him.
lukkyluciano
I felt bad for Tim couch
Outside of injuries (which is unfortunate), I love how all the players, and their family/friends/agents claim that their problems were "mental toughness" or "inner demons". At some point, your talent should be displayed in some form naturally on the field...
Brian Bosworth was SO bright, the Seahawks made him a defensive
captain in charge of calling signals .He simply had shoulder
trouble.And too much is made of Bo Jackson “ running him over “.
Bo had the angle, and he was a beast to begin with.
Why include clips of Skip Bayless like he's credible? Just hearing his voice makes me cringe. There are so many different sports reporters clips you could have used.
Daniel McMullen be glad it wasn't Joe Buck or John Madden.
Better those two than skip brainless.
They had to include Bayless because this is a tabloid video and he's a clueless tabloid talking head.
I love my haters.
yes!!!
Trent richardson
This is one of the worst. People keep saying Manziel, but he was a 22nd pick.
He wasn’t that bad on the Browns tho
Heath Shuler. He came to Washington and when someone handed him a football, didn't know it was.
That Charles Rodgers commercial I will never forget
That old school Madden NFL 2004 commercial is still his self-claim to fame. That meant, that the Madden curse not just weighed down poster boys by it's covers, it could also single-handedly an aspiring young player's career by other means of public media.
Johnny Manziel wasn't even an honorary mention? He's a huge bust.
