Who Will Be a Bust?

[BallHawk]

Ok, here's how it works.... Choose one player from each these categories, that you think will be a bust.

QB
RB
WR/TE
OL
DL
LB
Secondary

At the end of the season I'll bring this thread back up and see who was right and who was wrong. I did this at another forum once and it was a blast. A lot of these guys, at the end of the season, will still be up in the air in regards to their successfulness, but on some guys you can tell. Also, you don't have to choose big time players to be busts. If you think a guy that goes in the 2nd round is gonna be crap, than say so.

QB: JaMarcus Russel

RB: Marshawn Lynch

WR/TE: Anthony Gonzalez

OL: Joe Staley

DL: Alan Branch

LB: Buster Davis

Secondary: Leon Hall

To be fair to these players, I think you'll need to wait until the end of the '09/'10 season since it has been established that it usually takes at least 3 years to effectively evaluate a draft class.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I agree with you BallHawk on JaMarcus Russel and Alan Branch. However I think Lynch and Hall will be pretty good. For Wr, I think Meachem is going to be a bust.

And, in fairness to these players, it depends on what team they end up on. Early on, alot depends on your coaching, the scheme, and the players around them.

I think Scarlett Johansen will be a bust. Ooops wrong thread!

[BallHawk]

Yeah, you definitely can't tell on some players for some few years. However, there are always indicators. Also, some players like Joseph Addai were predicted to be average, and he had 1,000 yards. Hopefully, this forum will be around long enough so that we will be able to see these predictions down the road.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why did you say buster davis?

[Guiness]

I'll agree Russel could be a bust. Could just as easily be great, but I think he's going to be the next Jeff George. Puts up occasional big numbers, and tantalizes coaches enough to stick around for a decade.

DL: I'm going with Okoye. The reason is that I think he's too young and immature. He's gotten by on pure physical talent, and by the time he figures out how to work hard enough to be in the NFL, it'll be too late. Again, could stick around the league for a while, maybe like a Gerard Warren.

WR: Dunno - I'll go with Meecham, just because of the drops I've heard about. Admittedly haven't seem him play...

Why did you say buster davis?

He'll be out of the league in 3 years or so. He just doesn't have the body and size to stay around in this league.

Dono, i think he'll do better than alot of people think.

Nor does Hodge? Davis is very instinctive. He'll stick around.

yea thats the word i was thinking of, just curious, BH, have you ever watched his games? Ive been to a few but ive watched almost everyone. Although the he does have his downside in size, he makes up for it in insticts. He makes up his speed in being quick.

He never struck me as particularly quick but he is instinctive and decisive; a potent combo.

[BallHawk]

I watched a few of his games, not as many as you, but from watching a few I took away that he is undersized and isn't too quick. I'm not 100% positive he'll be a bust, I think it's even possible he'll be pretty good, but if I had to give one word on him, I would say he'll be a bust.
