The point on Bush isn’t that he is/isn’t a bust. It’s that there’s at least 1 other Saint within those parameters stated that fits better into this list. Lest we forget:

Sullivan was fighting with Dewayne Robertson (remember him, TBL?) for the position of #1 DL in the 03 draft. And the Saints traded 2 #1 picks in the same draft to move up and get him. And all he did was play 2 years of mediocre football, stuff his fat face and then get traded to the Pats, who cut him without playing him a minute.

Goes to a larger point: we get dazzled by the bust QBs, RBs, WRs. But make a list of the top 10 linemen (OL and DL) busts and you’ll see quite as many disasters.

I’m not sure if this movie will suck as much as looks like it does, but Zoe Saldana is some kind of hot.

Me too. Didn’t read them all, but in case he isn’t here: Rick Mirer. Good God was a piece of shit he was.

Don’t follow it that closely other than what I hear on local talk radio. I’m a Red Sox fan.

Someone seems a bit bitter…

Can you blame him? Texas owned Nebraska before they scampered off to the B1G because they lost their AAU accreditation.

It would be a nice surprise if he didn’t completely suck.

This is the book on pretty much every Texas player, no?

even Ced Benson had a good year or two with Cincy.

Benson hasn’t been a bust. Was hurt as a rookie, split time as a very effective two headed monster with Thomas Jones, struggled as the primary in Chicago but the whole team struggled that year. Has been productive in Cincy. That’s 4 productive seasons in 6 years. As a RB that isn’t bad. He hasn’t lived up to hype or draft position but he is pretty far from a bust.

You’ll all be singing a different tune next season when Alex throws for 3,200 yards, 18 TD’s and 11 picks and the Niners go 9-7

Then Alex Smith would raise his woefully undersized middle finger at all of us…

I’d shit my pants if this happened….and be perfectly ok about it.

Save for a couple awful games last season, he wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone thinks. And look at his season under Norv Turner.

I can confirm this.

whatever happened to Limas Sweed

Like similar reports of other Texas players he was spoiled and coddled by His Mackness and didnt like the way those mean pro coaches treated him.

Apparently some “personal” issues (and drops) the past few years but he’s still on the Steelers roster and they are giving him one more shot. It would be a nice surprise if he didn’t completely suck.

Good god, the Red Sox are playing like they played a game last night until 2:45 AM….oh wait.

Colt was actually one of my favorite players in college for his 4 years at Texas. I’m not sold on him being able to lead a team to the playoffs though. Seems like a nice dude, but one can only be around Mack Brown for so long before they soak up all of his averageness.

Texas has been doing better recently in producing quality pros, though there have been several busts in the Mack Brown era (whatever happened to Limas Sweed?) historically they have not been much of an NFL factory compared to other elite programs but they do pretty well with RB’s – Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams, Priest Holmes, Jamaal Charles, even Ced Benson had a good year or two with Cincy.

Ballz, are you serious about Alex Smith? HA!

Save for a couple awful games last season, he wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone thinks. And look at his season under Norv Turner.
