Quarterback is the most important position in the NFL-and when your favorite team drafts one, all of the fan base’s hopes and dreams are tied into that guy.
And if that pick becomes a bust, it is devastating.
But what makes it even more painful-is if the guy gets his career off to a good start, maybe even looks like he could become a star in the league-and then, next thing you know, it all turns to dust!

#NFLQBs #VinceYoung #NFLOneYearWonders - Sport
Notice how multiple of these are at the hands of Jeff Fisher 💀
Exactly!!!
I noticed 🤔... I was like wait. . Him again
Yeah bro dude was a QB killer
In _NFL Head Coach,_ I'd draft Vince Young and develop him properly
Jeff Fisher never protected his quarterbacks.
Baker led the CLEVELAND BROWNS to a playoff win a few years removed from a 1-31 stint. He deserves some credit for that alone.
Yup. The Browns went 3-13, 1-15, 0-16...and then Baker had them in the playoffs with double digit wins in his 3rd season. People may hate to admit it, but it's impressive.
And they didn't even mention Johnny
Baker then won a game for the Rams and led Tampa to the post season post Brady
Carson Wentz
He wasn't an immediate bust in his first season but from there on yeah
Immediately what I thought when I clicked this video
😞😞😞
@vs_jorrinh that's the point of the video bruh
@@peelslowly28 that's not what he was talking about.
The RG3 one hurt
I’ll always blame Washington for ruining his career
@@double_aagaming same and I'm a raiders fan
@@double_aagamingSnyder or Washington?
@@johnmassoud930 …yes
Interesting that two of the QBs had Jeff Fisher as head coach.
Thank you for mentioning Rick Mirer. I still remember everyone crapping on Bledsoe in '93; but three years later and Mirer was a disaster.
So many talented QBs that either fall apart or never get a decent supporting cast...
Sometimes the difference between having a nice career and being a bust is just landing in the right place at the right time. If the Cleveland Browns had drafted Dak Prescott with the 93rd pick in 2016, I doubt his career ends up being much different than Cody Kesslar....
@@MosheGoldbergTheKing If the Bears selected Mahomes in the Draft instead of Trubisky I doubt that he would have ever turned into the consistent scoring machine he is today. I think he would still be good for some big plays but definitely not like he is today. The Chiefs were the perfect destination for any rookie
@@lnnrt0161 Mahomes could not possibly have landed in a better situation. He went to a team that was already good, a team with a legendary head coach, a team with a very smart and experienced starting QB who was willing to work with him, and with no expectation to start and win week 1.
Mirer is one of the best one season wonders out there, but that’s it 😂
RG3 Breaks my heart every time I hear his name. He was injured and then just went down in a glorious ball of flames compared to what he had at his start. Just imagine an Uninjured RG3 VS Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen.....
You can add Matt Leinart to this list. In his rookie year, even though the numbers weren't spectacular he showed tremendous promise. In the infamous Monday Night Meltdown game, he threw for 232 yards and 2 TD's before Green put the ball in his pocket and kept on rushing James up the middle. Then Whisenhunt came in and the kid fell apart. He never recovered and it turned out he was made of glass.
Isn't it insane to think about these kids? In college they are super Stars and get to the NFL and crumble. Against people who were in college too. Going to the NFL really shows how good or bad they really were. Wasn't matt dating Paris Hilton or something like that in his rookie year?
@@chrisredden4745 don't know about that but he was in House Bunny. Now he's doing Wendy's commercials. With Caleb Williams. LOL
Sam Bradford is best known for the creation of the rookie pay scale.
Josh Freeman of the Buccaneers fell off pretty fast too.
Actually the rookie pay scale was the result of several years of huge contracts. The only thing special about Bradford is that he was the last #1 pick under the system that ended with the 2011 CBA; as the video notes Bradford was actually Offensive ROY, so it's not like he wasn't earning his money at the time the league finalized the 2011 CBA.
I would say JeMarcus Russell played a much bigger role in that tbh
Dan Majikowski of the Packers had that one epic season.
Vince Young making the pro bowl with more interceptions than tds is a mystery
Still not as much of a mystery as Tyler Huntley going last year...
@@MosheGoldbergTheKing lmao ong
@@MosheGoldbergTheKing affirmative probowls.
Is it?… is it really though?…
Let’s flip it and do 10 QBs who looked like busts, but became stars
That's a great idea!
Justin fields
And T-law
Himbert.
@@Deebo_is_himFields is already the next in a long line of Ohio State busts.
christian ponder, he had fans excited because he had this crazy streak of 0 interceptions for awhile, then he started falling off, only lasted 4 seasons on the vikings and the only reason they went 10-6 that one year is because of adrian peterson
I wouldn’t call Ken O’Brien a bust. He had some good seasons a bit deeper into his career. He had the misfortune of being drafted before Marino, who most teams didn’t feel that high about. O’Brien was even shocked he was drafted in the first round, feeling he had an outside chance of being taken in the 2nd round and was most likely a third round choice. Also, in head to head meetings, he was 8-7 vs Marino.
He wasn’t a bust, he had the misfortune of being on one of the worst run franchises at that time known as the Jets.
Ken O'Brien had 2 Pro Bowls (could've been 3 or 4) and if it wasn't for the strike he would have 4 playoff appearances and as for Chad Pennington, if it wasn't for the injuries, who knows, he would've led the Jets to deeper playoff runs and to me and everybody else they're not busts (they're misunderstood bar none)
@@metsandjetsfan5174 yea.... I think Pennington had the "magic" dude just couldn't stay on the field
Shared a division too with the two Hall-of-Famers he was drafted with 😳
Yeah I always find it weird how often people like to crap on O'Brien even he made two pro bowls and managed to last a decade on a team where most Qbs careers seemingly go to die. Meanwhile Todd Blackledge, the guy picked ahead of him, Marino and Jim Kelly is mostly forgotten despite being a much bigger bust.
@@bigbearkat2010 well said. Blackledge was the true bust, indeed. Also, Tony Eason, who was picked just after Kelly was closer to being a bust than O’Brien. Yeah, he started in a SB and had a couple of good seasons but he pretty much fell of the face of the NFL world right after the SB.
Wentz had some good years. From 2016-19 to be exact. Oh and he was part of the reason why Philly came away with a Lombardi Trophy in the 2017 season! 🦅 fly eagles fly!
Cry Eagles cry!
Belicheck sold
He didn’t play in the super bowl. Granted he started what another man finished but….come on now
The gayest chant in all of pro sports! It should be in pride month!
No, Nick Foles is the reason Philly finally gained relevance in the East.
What's crazy is Sam Bradford only had 1 full season without injuries and so many teams still went after him
Suprised that when Chad Pennington was mentioned on this list that his NFL comeback player of the year awards were not mentioned. Once in 2006 while playing for the Jets and another in 2008 when he played in Miami.
Yeah that’s wild Chad is on this list he was actually really solid and if it were t for injuries he would have been even better
If Chad had a stronger arm and didn't get hit by the injury bug, he could've been a multiple All-Pro. He had phenomenal processing speed and anticipation.
From 2001 through 2019 only 2 QBs won the AFC east Brady of course and Pennington in '02 with the Jets and '08 with Miami
How about a list of QBs who looked like they had potential but didn’t get a chance due to circumstances.
My nomination would be Marlin Briscoe, the first Black QB to be named his team’s regular starter. As a rookie in 1968, he was drafted as a CB but managed to talk the coaching staff into giving a try to make it as a QB. He ended up 4th on depth chart but injury to the Broncos 1st stringer in the preseason and the other two failing miserably with one of them being so bad that he would have had a higher rating if he had simply spiked the ball on every pass attempt.
Briscoe was drafted in the 14th round (357th overall). He was officially listed as 5’11” and 178 lbs but I think that was with his cleats on and full gear. He was most likely 5’9” and 165 lbs.
He actually had a decent rookie season for the time. His TD% was above league average and his interception % was 0.1 points higher and threw for more TDs than INTs (14 TDs vs 13 INTs). He led the league in average yards per completion. He only started 5 games but had two game winning drives (2nd that season) and his 14 TD passes I believe is still a Broncos team record for a rookie. He was also 2-3-0 as a starter on a 5-9-0 team. Given his small size, it is questionable if he would have had a long career as a QB but he also ran for 308 yards, averaging 7.5 yards per rushing attempt.
He later became a Pro Bowl WR and was 2nd in the league in receiving yards and receptions in 1970. He was a second team All-Pro as well that year to Dick Gordon (who led the league in receptions) and Gene Washington of the 49ers (who led the league in receiving yards).
Wow, that's one interesting career never heard of him
David Carr would easily be number one. He was no doubt a franchise qb, but he had to start day one on an expansion team that literally never bothered to give him help.
Young was way ahead of his time. He wasn’t developed properly, he had all the tools to succed.
jeff fisher was a horrible coach & manager .. him and marvin lewis were given too many years to prove how horrible they were
Interesting that Jeff Fisher coached both Vince Young and Sam Bradford
Jimarcus Russel was insane at LSU, but became one of the biggest busts in NFL history.
Jamarcus admitted he didnt want to work hard and aspired to just taking the money and going away. What a piece of 💩. He's doing very well today... he hasn't blown his $
One of? He IS the biggest bust in NFL history.
@@Rockhound6165 No, Ryan Leaf gets that dishonor
Man I Wonder What Washington Would Of Became With A Healthy RGIII AND That All Star Cast Of Coaches💯
Interesting how TPS talks about QB busts from the1983 draft (Ken O'Brien and Tony Eason) but missed the BIGGEST QB draft bust that year: KC's Todd Blackledge! Blackledge was the 7th overall pick and the second quarterback taken. By the way, they were wrong abut Eason leading the Patriots to that 1985 Super Bowl. Eason got hurt that year, and veteran QB Steve Grogan stepped into the starting lineup and got the Pats to the Super Bowl. Eason got the start in the Super Bowl, but the Bears were too much for the Pats that day.
The difference is, Todd Blackledge never showed any promise. He was bad from the jump.
Kenny O'Brien was NEVER A BUST; he simply didn't live up 2 his draft status. Nvrthlss; Kenny O'Brien still had a very respectable career. He was much better than his predecessor (Richard Todd).
Love your video TPS
Chad is an amazing story of a player who lost his big arm and learned how to play as a completely different style
Went from a gunslinger to an accurate timming based qb
And that alone is incredible
I remember towards the end of his career, people kept shitting on him for how weak his arm was and I remember thinking, "who cares as long as the guy catches the pass"?
Colin Kapernick should be on this list. He took the 49ers to the Super Bowl, then lost his starting job, then got demoted to 3rd string, then was out of the league.
Colin didn’t start that season off as the starter he took over after Alex Smith got hurt in the middle of season, I don’t think anyone saw him get drafted and thought “that kids gonna light up the NFL”
Keep up your fantastic videos, God bless you
I've always wondered what could have been with RG3 if Washington had a reasonable field
Or if the then called Redskins had a reasonable ownership
Agreed
Or if Mike Shannahan protects Robert from himself and puts Kirk Cousins in like he had some sense. Washington would definitely have even won that game.
It doesn't count as a bust if they get injured.
He Tore his ACL in his knee. This would possibly effect his running ability after, but wouldn't effect his ability throwing. So showed he wasn't that good of a passer & dependant on his running ability. This is what rule changes in the league have helped facilitate is QB's who didn't have good ability with their arms to be compensated to transition & help them make it in the league as the NFL had a new marketing direction they wanted to shift to.
Bradford did something that no one did before him: he caused the NFL to put caps on rookie contracts
💩😂
The owners had to make a rule for themselves so they would quit spending money....
wasnt bradford and the rams negotiating his rookie contract months before the draft?
That was not Bradford. That was Jamarcus Russell.
w video like all ways TPS
Jeff Fisher was at the helm of multiple people on this list
Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Christian Ponder, Brock Osweiler, Mark Sanchez, and Drew Lock are honorable mentions
I was never into getting too excited for great prospect rookies in the NFL. Even if they show great play in their rookie season, the real test happens when there's more tape of the player. More time for teams to analyze, dissect what they're doing and make life harder.
You do have the players like Peyton Manning, Patrick Mahomes start off great and then keep on rolling. They're for real. But in general, expect a drop off.
Just seen too many big prospects from college, Heisman Trophy winners become busts in the NFL to put much stock on the new guys entering the league. Best of luck to them though, these are their dreams and livelihood after all. Lots of great athletes don't even make it to the pros.
Y’all should make this a series and do every position, even Kickers and Punters 😂
He da goat keep up the good work
"Kirk Cousins of all people" ???
Yes, Kirk hasn't been a big game time QB. That said, he has been good for a long while. Cousins did win 13 games last year, including the biggest comeback in NFL history!
I think a case could be made that Kirk might be the most underrated quarterback of the past few decades.
Agreed. Cousins is legit.
I maintain a few more years like he has had and he should be worthy of HOF consideration. The reason people ceap on him, in my opinion, is that he was a low draft guy and people simply see him as a low pedigree player. He played for the Redskins, who wanted so badly to dump him, and all he ever did was be successful time and again for them.
Scott Mitchell Detroit Lions 🦁
Bradford is still in the top 10 career earners in nfl history.
He single-handedly broke the rookie pay scale.
Sam darnold was the first guy from that 18 draft class to start and looked good his first couple seasons
Cough cough Jamarcus Russell and Johnny football
They never showed any promise to start with. They're just garden variety busts.
Qb is the hardest position
RG3 honestly hurts to see especially with our school's state championship run in 2008.
jamarcus russel
ryan leaf
Tony Eason did not lead the Pats to the Super Bowl in 85...It was actually Doug Flutie who Ray Berry benched him for Eason once they clinched.
Actually it was long time Pats QB Steve Grogan that helped lead the Pats to the Super Bowl that year. Flutie didn't come in until later
Flutie didn't debut in the NFL until the '86 season with the Bears, and didn't get to the Pats until the '88 season
Flutie was a member of the USFL's NJ Generals in 1985.
I like how you start the pics with big 12 players says a lot how much the conference has fallen.
Finally a tps list that I have no problems with. 🥳
Well, at least we got a 1st round pick from Da Bears, for taking Mirer, off our hands. And that pick turned out to be Shawn Springs, thank you Chicago. Go Hawks
You missed Mac Jones!
Josh Freeman with Tampa Bay He looked like he was turning into a star quarterback and then completely fell off Even couldn't hold on to a backup role
Tony Easton and Ken O'Brian even met each other in a wild card game in December 1985
As an eagle fan without a doubt Carson Wentz my Ginger what happened to you bro😢 one of the saddest stories by far we thought we had a franchise quarterback after that super bowl win the gods said pump your brakes on that
That was a monster year CW was having…beautiful passes, tight spirals and hitting receivers in stride…
I'll never feel sorry for Sam Bradford knowing how much money he made and got paid on "potential". Pretty lucky way to be a millionaire.
Bortles and the Jags lost a "controversial" AFC championship to the Patriots? What was controversial about it? There was one fumble recovery that looked like Myles Jack hadnt been touched but he was just not by someones hand, Dion Lewis's leg was touching him while he made the recovery which meant he was down by contact at that spot, they still had a 10 point lead after that but Brady did his thing with 2 TD dtives in the 4th and they were up 14 to 3 near the end of the 2nd until Brady marched down field and made it 14 to 10 then JAX got the ball back with almost 2 minutes and ran out the clock out of fear of giving the ball back to Brady they where playing not to lose instead of playing to win thats why they didnt win
Interesting, so there is an A & B category. A - those who flopped immediately and B - those who had a GREAT first year then slid. Missed Jamarcus Russel, and Matt Leinhart.
Mismanagement if *RG3'S CAREER!*
Most of these had defensive head coaches (or had no business being a HC - Doug Marrone). RG3 was an injury thing, of course.
We define these guys as QB Teases
Controversial AFC championship game doesn't do it justice. I'm not a fan of either team but Myles Jack was objectively not down. That's a fact and it's inexcusable they blew it dead. Period
Nick Foles took Wentz in the words of Michael Myers “mojo.”
Do the reverse of this next! Busts that became stars!
Calling Chad Pennington a bust is moronic. But not knowing that Marshall moved to 1-A for all 3 of his starting years is EMBARRASSING for a sports channel. He finished 5th in the Heisman race in 1999. Players from below 1-A/FBS aren’t eligible for the Heisman.
It is funny how Jeff Fisher end up having 2 Quarterbacks that did not pan out (Vince Young, Sam Bradford).
Maybe Jeff Fisher is a problem
Vince Young was never rg3. How can I see it, but professionals cant?
Rick Mire-er. Jesus Christ TPS 🤣
Seriously how did they come up with that pronunciation
“And he made the Titans exciting in a way since Steve McNair was under center.” You mean like, the season before? 😂
Make a video on every team’s worst case scenario in 2023 please this is like the 3rd or 4th vid I commented on
Vince Young is on the cover of Madden NFL 08
I'm thinking Kerry Collins in Carolina. NFC title game in year 2, asking for release after a few slurs.
Collins is a 2X pro bowler and even took the Giants to the Super Bowl in 2000. That's hardly bust material.
The fact you don’t have Mark Sanchez on this list is appalling
I think he was just east coast media propaganda.
How about now the inverse for a video, 10 QBs that looked like busts that became stars
As a redskins fan it breaks my heart to see my Boi RG3 on here he got dealt such a wrong hand
Commanders*
@@jarlwhiterun7478 it always be redskins fir me but the commanders name has started to grow on me
I really felt the Commanders/Redskins/Braves really missed a chance when they were known as the Washington Football Team and should have marketed themselves as the Washington Team - Football. 😉😁
I wouldn't say Vince Young was a bust, he just got Jeff Fisher'ed
You forgot to mention how Washington ruined RG3
As a giants fan I loved RG3 coming out of the draft. I was pissed when WAS traded up with the rams for him. He was electric. Too bad he got drafted by that dumpster fire organization because he shouldve been a perennial pro bowler at the minimum.
Baker got the short end of the stick in Cleveland.
Why do people always say rg3 injury happened in the playoffs? It actually happened against Baltimore from a haloti ngata hit.. he had no business still playing after that hit and tweaked it up again in the playoffs
Rg3 never changed how quarterbacks play....Vick did. And arguably before that Randall Cunningham.
The magik man, charlie batch
Remember when Brock Osweiler was supposed to be good???
Mark Sanchez went to the AFC Championship his first 2 seasons and then fell off a cliff after that
Chad Pennington is one of the most accurate QBs in NFL history!
CHAD PENNINGTON Was probably the most underrated QB of that era!!!!!!! and Jake the snake should be on here
Jake Plummer is in no way, shape, or form a bust on any level. In 10 seasons he had 1 bad year. He won the Cardinals their first playoff win in 50 years and led Denver to the playoffs 3 times and even the AFC title game.
Yeah, Vince Young going to the Eagles was a Dream team…too bad Vince Young didn’t wake up
Did anyone actually think Bortles looked like a star on that run? I always thought it was a Jared Goff Rams situation. The team was succeeding due to the defense and some of their weapons not really due to QB play
I'm glad we didn't throw Jamarcus Russell in this😂😂😂
Scott Mitchell, Elvis Gerback Rob Johnson I could go on and on
Jeff George
Don (Magic Man) Makowski
Jim Macmahan
Baker has turned things around in Tampa. I wouldn’t call him a bust just yet…
Don’t forget Mitch
exactly
What happened to Johnny Manziel, Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell.
Trevor Lawrence and Bryce Young gonna be on here soon.
Now do 10 NFL players that looked like busts but became super stars
They did one 4 years ago
Two Words, Jimmy Garbageapollo.... you can NOT change my mind
I don't believe RGIII should be on this list. An injury shouldn't factor into a bust.
Missed Johnny Manziel
Mac jones needs to be on this list by the next one
Put Zappe in!

One season wonders...Tim Couch Browns
Chad Pennington is not a bust. When healthy he was solid and you completely skipped his 2008 season where he won comeback player of the year and lead the Dolphins to the division title.
