I agree with this. Also, everyone keeps mentioning we could've had Barry Sanders - but couldn't the Packers also have had Deion Sanders or Derrick Thomas?Originally Posted by sheepshead
I think Mandarich was a huge, huge bust in part because, as stated above, he was supposed to completely re-invent the position, and he was also clear in stating that he was the next big thing. His cocky attitude and the hype he encouraged and received are factors that in my opinion add to his "bust" level. If he had come in quietly, and not done sh_t, he'd have been seen as less of a bust than he was, I think.
