Peyton Manning
Ryan Leaf - bust
Tim Couch - bust
Donovan McNabb
Akili Smith - bust
Daunte Culpepper - he had a nice career
Cade McNown
Chad Pennington - weak arm, but solid game manager
Michael Vick - drafted for athletic ability, faded once folks knew how to stop him. Did lead Falcons to playoffs early in career.
David Carr - bust
Joey Harrington - bust
Patrick Ramsey - bust
Carson Palmer - Good career thusfar
Byron Leftwich - had some solid years in Jax, led team to playoffs if I'm not mistaken.
Kyle Boller - Bust
Rex Grossman - did lead team to super bowl, but overall underperformed his draft status.
Eli Manning
Philip Rivers
Ben Roethlisberger
J.P. Losman
Alex Smith
Aaron Rodgers
Jason Campbell - I wouldn't classify JC as a "really good QB".
Vince Young - hasn't justified his draft position, but we'll see if he's a bust by his performance next year.
Matt Leinart
Jay Cutler
Jamarcus Russell
Brady Quinn - I'd like to see him with another team before he's classified as a bust. The dysfunction in Cleveland is worse than here. I'd actually like to see him brought in here for a shot.
Are you saying we shouldn't draft a QB in the first round because 50% of these guys don't work out? Should we not have drafted JC in the first round (my opinion in hindsight is that Gibbs missed on this one)?
