At least ST took the field and had a few bright moments.
Jenkins was a disaster right from the start.
I see your AJ Jenkins and raise you a Rashaun Woods.
BTW, RIP Terry Donahue.
I would have assumed the Sam Bowie comparison would have illustrated this point, but here is a football comparison for you.....
Using your logic, Jim Druckenmiller was a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf.
Ouch. I think some (myself included) let the fact that he is a good guy get in the way of rating him appropriately. Its easy to say quitters like Balmer and Woods and complete non producers are bigger busts. But a guy who worked hard and had personal tragedy but failed to even be a solid rotational guy, emotions prevent some from labeling him a bust. But its undeniable. He is the biggest in history. Had he just been a solid starter, then Jenkins and others could be brought into the conversation. But at number 3 overall and you can't start nor be a key contributor (Ronald Blair, DJ Jones level), that is a huge bust. Being a nice guy doesn't change it.
This is a weird take. You are literally saying someone who actually played in multiple games and didnt actually suck so bad as a Vernon Gholston but just should have been a 3-5th round pick is worse than AJ one catch Jenkins.
Biggest bust in history? Excusing Drunk and Balmer, think of what an actual 2nd WR option would of done for Kap. Maybe he could could of actually became a two read QB rather than one.
Do you guys factor in who we could have had, rather than the guy we took, in that given year with the same pick?
IMO, that requires a crystal ball, which none of us have. It is interesting fodder for discussion but it should not change the value of the pick that was made.
