The results are in and the opening round of April Badness has come to a close. As expected, all No. 1 seeds advanced easily with Ryan Leaf considered so much of a bust that he won unanimously over "Hollywood" Henderson. Surprised not one wisenheimer voted for Hollywood.

Not all of the two seeds were quite as lucky, as Jeff George was upset by Pittsburgh's Tim Worley in the Jim Irsay region. The closest matchup took place in the Mike Brown region with Mike Mamula narrowly edging out Andy Katzenmoyer by a single vote! Sorry Andy, you're going home -- no recounts here! For the full results, let's go to the polls!

The problem with that comparison is that Rogers' situation as a bust comes from back to back season ending collar bone injuries. If anyone wants to deny that he looked like an absolute stud the games he played in before that first injury, you need to go find some video footage of those games. It's unfortunate, but I can not believe you would put him in the same category with the likes of couch and leaf who just couldn't either handle the pressure or simply weren't good enough.

If you look at total numbers, Rogers has to win. He has 4 touchdowns and 440 yards in 3 years (2 years playing). He signed a 6 year 55 million contract w/ over 16 million guarenteed. He made more than a million dollars per game that he played in

Ryan Leaf hands down. No use even running a contest. He was a horrible QB, stupid and immature... AND THOSE WERE HIS GOOD QUALITIES!!!! The guy can barely hold a high school asst. coaching job!
