October 13, 200620 yr In another thread we were discussing the best highschool football/basketball player ever in Kentucky... Of course Tim Couch's name came up a lot and deservedly so. But my question is Tim Couch the biggest bust/flop ever in the NFL? IMO being a #1 pick and having the career Couch did only compares to the outlandish Brian Bosworth... but I still think Couch top's the list. Your thoughts.
October 13, 200620 yr Ryan Leaf is .............................I know you're new so search forums for Tim Couch and this dead horse will come to life.

October 13, 200620 yr Also, Eagle whats up with the carson avatar and your location says cheering for the black and gold?:confused: I'm guessing he's a Johnson Central Golden Eagle fan who likes the Bengals...Black and Gold are the colors at JCHS... As for the question at hand, Ryan Leaf has to be the biggest I think...

October 13, 200620 yr Seems like this topic comes up near the start of every NFL season. Leaf and Akili Smith and Klingler should all be considered as the biggest busts. There is a long list in one of those threads.

October 13, 200620 yr I agree. Couch actually did look like he could play when he got protection. The others never really showed that at all. I think Couch was definitely a bust, but he was definitely not the biggest bust of all time...
October 13, 200620 yr I agree with the rest. This is not even close. Games: Couch 62, Leaf 26 Completions: Couch 1025, Leaf 317 Attempts: Couch 1714, Leaf 655 Percentage: Couch 59.8, Leaf 48.4 Yards: Couch 11,131, Leaf 3666 Yards / Attempt: Couch 6.5, Leaf 5.6 Touchdowns: Couch 64, Leaf 14 Interceptions: Couch 67, Leaf 36

IMO being a #1 pick and having the career Couch did only compares to the outlandish Brian Bosworth... but I still think Couch top's the list. Your thoughts. I see that you're new so I guess they'll let it slide, but this is brought up atleast once a month and it's clear that he's nowhere near the biggest NFL bust of all-time. Ryan Leaf is my choice. Couch on the other hand had decent seasons when he played he was just put in a terrible situation. He had no offensive line to protect him, and at that time he had no real WR's to throw too.
October 13, 200620 yr Guys you cant perform if you dont have protection and your not overly mobile. Its as simple as that. Couch was dissapointing and but look at Drew Bledsoe. Hes a great QB when he has time, otherwise hes not. Now Im not saying he is as good as Peyton Manning, because he definitly is not. But every year Manning ends up having a mediocre game in the Playoffs and the Colts get beat out. And thats because defenses find a way to get to him and sack him some. Tim Couch's situation is sad, but he is a bust simply because he was the #1 pick and what, 7 years later hes no longer in the league.
