| Bush is absolutely a bust, people thought he was going to be one of the best players of all time, and instead he's an okay special teams guy who gets less carries than Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell and doesn't really factor into his team's overall gameplan. He literally cannot block at all, it seems like he catches short passes more than he rushes, and is basically just used as a gimmick. And Leinart has had plenty of opportunities to prove himself and he's proven he's no good, thats why he lost the job to Warner in the first place. Meanwhile Troy Smith came into the league with absolutely NO expectations - people thought he won the Heisman by default and never thought he'd make it in the NFL, but he turned out to be OK in his first year in Detroit and won the starting job over Flacco but then got injured for last year (and obviously Flacco was able to win it away from him, but that was expected since Flacco was a first round pick. Plus there's talks that they might trade him.) In all, Smith has done slightly better in the league than people expected and his draft position indicated, and Bush and Leinart have done MUCH MUCH WORSE than the hype and their draft positions would indicate. That's how you define a bust. A bust is not a guy who gets drafted late in the second day of the draft with no expectations. |
