You are throwing round the word bust very liberally here. Most of those guys havent had time to properly evaluate them.

Maybe and maybe not. To me, Tebow and RG3 are pretty clearly on the bust side of the fence. I'm not sure why Washington still lets RG3 play and Tebow.... well, let's just say that there are some college coaches out there who did that man a disservice by not teaching him how to properly throw a football.

Tebow was never really expected to be a good NFL QB.

RG3 won Rookie of the Year and was great. The injury and confidence issues have slowed down progress, but the potential is there. This is a huge turning point season for him though.

Which was my intention. It's an educated knee-jerk reaction to guess they'll all continue to do much of nothing than be talked about on ESPN.

I could also be wrong about this as well, but instant adaptability is part of the raw talent that the NFL requires. If you aren't selling jerseys or performing well, you don't have the benefit of a second chance.

I can't disagree with anything you've said here. The problem with RG3 is that it seems that an injury is virtually guaranteed with him. I would like to see him do better but...

And yeah, Tebow.... well...

Rg3 is a good athlete, but not a good qb to me. Sure he put up numbers in college throwing to Josh gordon, Kendall wright l, and Terrance williams. Who wouldn't look good?

There needs to be a distinction made between "bust" and "horrible pick." Tebow was a 3rd round risk at best taken in the 1st round. There was absolutely no chance in hell he was going to live up to a 1st round pedigree. That's just a bad draft pick by the Broncos.

Now, Ryan Leaf, Charles Rogers, Dion Jordan... those guys are busts. Really skilled and talented guys that just failed to live up to their potential.

RG3 is the Derrick Rose of the NFL.

...and now he's saying his words were taken out of context. Not sure how, but okay.

...and he just suffered another concussion.

Could someone please tell him his job is to take the football and give it to someone else? It's not that difficult.

Rushing qb's are fun to watch, but unless a yard or two is needed, need to stay in the pocket. They don't win Superbowls.
