    Tim Couch was in an uphill fight. Cleveland never gave him any protection. Ryan Leaf was the only one even in the ballpark but he didnt get 40 mil guarenteed.

    Marijuanavich wasnt much of a risk he was drafted really really LOW in the first and shouldnt even come into the discussion as he was BPA at that point.

    Mandarich had a decent career as a guard I believe when he was healthy.

    There is only one Randal Cunningham, unfortunately for Bengal fans it wasnt Akili Smith.

    Bosworth was always hurt in the NFL I think.

    Yeah, but Marijuanavich was hyped as the next big thing. So was Mandarich, but he was first team all-anabolic.

    Russell is pushing 300lb, he's clearly the biggest bust. And has the biggest bust.

    And Leaf, for me, his stats are worse than JaMarcuss 34DD.

    Oddly enough, Leaf's stats per dollar paid is probably better than JaMarcus simply because of the way contracts ballooned.

    But Leaf never came close to making $9 million a season. If he had, he'd be the bigger bust.

    Reggie Bush still has time to put together that Hall of Fame career everyone gave him on Day 1.

    JaMarcus only got paid more because of the year he was drafted.

    Leaf would have gotten paid just as much had he been drafted today with the bigger all around salaries.

    Leaf's stats makes Russell's look like that of Joe Montana and his attitude makes JaMarcus look like a choir boy and a work horse.

    As horrible as Russell is this title still belongs to Ryan Leaf hands down.

    Russell never did try to kill a reporter. He did, however, kill many a cows.
