2-Russell

3-Heath Shuler

4-Art Schlichter

5-Akili Smith


BRING THE PAIN!!!!


Forfeited Turn


Okay so you did not want to argue. I saw you were on here after I submitted and you had nothing to say???

Let me show you some stats:

Your selection: Mirer, 53.3%, 149.6ypg, 5.9ypa, 50 TD's to 76 INT's with a 63.5 Passer Rating

24-44 starting record as a starting QB, had 1 season where he was 7-6

My selection: Shuler, 49.2%, 127.3ypg, 6.2ypa, 15 TD's to 33 INT's with a 54.3 Passer Rating

8-14 as a starting QB

Your selection: Couch, 59.8%, 179.5ypg, 6.5ypa, 64 TD's to 67 INT's with a 75.1 Passer Rating

22-37 as a starting QB and made the playoffs 1 season

My selection: Schlichter, 45%, 77.4ypg, 5.0ypa, 3 TD's to 11 INT's with a 42.6 Passer Rating

0-6 as a starting QB

For the 4th overall pick that is horrible.

Now some might say Art was not a bust but to me he certainly was. He may have been banned from the League for betting but based on the stats he posted? He was horrible and deserves to be on the list for the stats he posted.

But if he could change your mind, would you change your vote?

Pretty ballsy pick putting Mirer in there. Swap #4's and I think right woulda had a slam dunk.

I think in terms of sheer hype, Todd Marijaunavich could've cracked the list. But he wasn't taken until the 22 nd pick or something.

That is why I did not select him or a couple other noticeable ones...

Good call. Marinovich's hype like Brian Bosworth's, was more PR than anything if I remember correctly. More of a media machine than a product of what was put on the field.

Wait a few years, and then add Cam Newton.

Damn, the list on the right is better though.

Although, arguments are still required.
