I disagree with players who suffered injuries being on this list. It's one thing to completely not produce, and that's worthy of bust status, but being injury plagued is normally something that can't be faulted.

IMO Couch would have beena good QB if drafted by a good team with an OL.

I kept waiting to see Ryan Leaf on this list finally he came up at 18... Im surprised he wasnt in the top 5 or atleast top 10.

You don't know this answer already? He's both - seriously retarded.

I think Couch gets rated unfairly in these type of ratings. He can't really be judged either way. As a Browns fan, I would have to rate Brown and Warren as bigger busts.

He's put up big numbers, and has led a team that went from horrid, to at least competitive since he was drafted. Just because he hasn't won a super bowl, doesn't mean he's not "worthy" of where he was drafted. He was drafted to the BENGALS, which in case you don't know (wouldn't be surprised if you didn't) probably deserved the first FIVE picks of the draft that year because they were so horrible. You don't need a super bowl to be worthy Big Gay Al, c'mon now. Just ask Dan Marino, or Warren Moon, Dan Fouts...all VERY serviceable QBs who never won the big one.

Archie Griffin as an NFL bust? Can you make an argument for or against that?
