10 Biggest BUSTS Of The 2010's

[@BlitzHQ]

Yes, RGIII is a bust, but with an asterisk. The outcome is the same, but he falls into a slightly different category. Plenty of other players came back from the same injury and were successful; Adrian Peterson and Rob Gronkowski are good examples.

[@lemonman823]

a bust means the wrong draft pick if the Redskins could draft him again they probably would they would just rest him more he was great

[@paulozhan]

Gronk and AP played in way better run organizations than RGIII. RGIII could have thrived if he found a starting spot in a team like the Niners, Ravens, Steelers or Eagles. Not his fault.

[@IcyTorments]

yeah no RGIII isnt a bust, dont care about that asterisk you wanna put there. Bro was literally forced to completely change his game and never played the same because of it. also you chose some very interesting examples. AP was already a freak and did something extremely rare back then hell its still rare. hell kevin whites the same both had brutal injuries and to put them as busts is Bullshit. you know that, we know that, you need to do better man. theyre were 100% bigger busts in the 2010's than those 2. in 2013 both luke joeckel and dion jordan were taken back to back with joeckel going 2nd overall and jordan going 3rd. Jordan played 63 games in 6 seasons with not very good stats, joeckel played for years last playing in 2017 for seattle.

[@gabriellavasquez9120]

RgIII was not a bust he was killing it before injury a bust is matt leinart, Jamarcus Russell, Jake locker etc. Redskins picked correct player but didn’t use him correctly and rushed him back in to soon after the injury. RGIII would’ve had a great career if never injured. Adrian Peterson and Rob took time off to heal. Adrian did win mvp the next season but he had the off season to heal ! RGIII was thrown into a playoff game injured.

[@rstreet5537]

I'm a carolina fan Watching him in college I seen nothing special about him He couldn't even beat out Marquise Williams who didnt even make the league

[@dustint2482]

So the fact that the Bears reached for Mitch is what makes you think he's a bust. I agree they shouldn't have reached for him, but they didn't know that at the time and he was by all accounts, the best quarterback on the board. In hindsight, we obviously know that's not true.

[@dustint2482]

He was also drafted without having much college experience given to a head coach that had no coaching experience and made to play in his fourth game without having an actual starter in front of them. Mahomes on the other hand, got a coach that had 20 years head coaching experience and sat behind a true professional for an entire year.

What stings even more for the Bears when they traded for Trubisky was just how much better the 49ers did with their assets. While Solomon Thomas (the pick that actually belonged to the Bears) was a bust, it was another pick in that haul that is the real kick in the family jewels. The 3rd round pick in the 2018 Draft ended up being 70th overall, and the Niners selected Fred Warner, who is the man in the middle of the 49ers linebacker corps. Rubbing more salt in the rounds, the 3rd round pick from 2017 was traded by the Niners to the Saints, and the Saints ended up selecting Alvin Kamara with it. Even though the Bears would have definitely botched Mahomes or Watson (let's just say the Bears lack the coaching staff needed to develop QBs) if they had gone there, can you imagine if instead of trading those picks, we would be seeing Alvin Kamara or Fred Warner in Bears colors instead? While it would not immediately turn the Bears into Super Bowl contenders overnight, it certainly would have given them a fighting chance for bragging rights against their NFC North rivals.

What's crazy was the 49ers didn't even want Trubisky. The Bears could probably have traded DOWN and still gotten Trubisky.

Most people don't know that colleges did NOT recruit RG3 to play QB, but to play WR. The reason RG3 chose Baylor is they promised him he'd play QB.

[@bioLarzen]

I guess Isiah Wilson (who was a bigger bust than at least half of the guys on the list) didn't make the list because he was drafted in 2020 (which, technically, was in the 2010's, but still...)?

[@porkchopsandwiches192]

Sam Bradford is missing from this list.

[@devanshouse5027]

Still can't believe my favorite team took John Ross over Patrick Mahomes, Marshon Lattimore, TJ Watt, Christian Macaffrey, Ryan Ramczyk... 🤦‍♂️

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

You missed one nobody remembers. Golden, the CB the Steelers picked in the 2nd round in 2015. He was so injury prone, he played in 1 preseason gane during his 3 year career. That was it....

[@RedPanzer69]

Are you talking about Marcus Golden he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals

[@nikoxsuave6258]

Sam Darnold and the Vikes 5-0 now👀

[@JohnBoosh]

Darnold ended up being pretty good

[@TheEpicHitmarker]

Some of the best who ever played in NFL were free agents or late round draft picks.

[@deislerdalton]

Sam Darnold isn’t a bust. He’s just been in AWFUL situations. As a cowboys fan I’m so happy and proud of him for kicking ass with the Vikings!!

[@gerardoramirez9450]

I remember that "Johny Football" kid 😂😂

[@Greggers1516]

Im a bears fan and getting Kevin white was so crazy. I was hype because I didn’t know he’d be a bust and then he missed every game pretty much. Sucks

[@jordanporter5833]

Sam Darnold actually looks good in Minnesota. I think it was a system he was in

[@Johnnyboy000]

Manziel was the most interesting person for the wrong reasons. He was like Urban Meyer at the time. You knew he was going to do something. You just didn't know what it was or how bad it was going to be.

[@jonnyflash5110]

Best to know the difference between bust and situation of circumstance. RG3 lasted seasons with some success, and Sam Darnold played for arguably the worse team. But the rest, hard to argue.

[@littlecozettescrew6818]

RGIII wasn’t a bust. Guy was special but got knocked out by injury… And you might want to update this list, Sam Darnold is tearing it up with the Vikings and is arguably the MVP of the first month of the season..

[@DameinMontgomery-p6f]

The Cleveland Browns gm looks like NBA coach Mike Brown twin brother 😆

[@MikeyG-13]

Darnold deserves an asterisk. He started his career, or thrown to the wolves, behind a turnstile of an offensive line in New York and continued with an even worse team in Charlotte. All that was enough to destroy whatever self-confidence he might have had.

[@xandershaw4110]

Darnold is so back

[@ncjuppiter9595]

Wow, I’d forgotten that CLE moved *up* to take Johnny Manziel. So crazy. But I feel bad for him.
