	Unfair to call someone plagued by injuries such as Emtman a bust. Many of these guys are legit busts though.

	Ricky Williams is far from a bust.

	"It's not so much that Williams wasn't good in his career -- he was. The bigger problem? Mike Ditka and the Saints mortgaged the next two years in order to get Williams"

	I'd rename the quiz, otherwise you're inviting all sorts of criticism that the player on it aren't the biggest busts for the team. For instance, R. Jay Soward is undisputedly worse for the Jaguars than Reggie Williams. Williams has been a mediocre receiver for years, Soward was out of the NFL in a year. Jason Peter wasn't great for the Panthers because he was hurt, Rae Carruth played one full season and missed most of two others before he was convicted of murder. Ki-Jana Carter was at least as bad as Akili Smith (David Klingler was no better and he caused the Bengals to dump Esiason), and Ki-Jana was a #1 overall. Rick Mirer was lousy, but at least he played -- more than you can say for Dan McGwire. There'll probably be Eagles fans steamed that you don't mention Mike Mamula, Bears fans screaming about Cade McNown or Rex Grossman.

	Also, Billy Milner was out of Miami in a year and out of the NFL in two years, but he wasn't necessarily a bust for Miami, since they got a decent amount of trade value (Troy Drayton) before he bottomed out. Eric Kumerow (88) or Jamar Fletcher (01) would probably be better examples.

	jonathan sullivan was a far bigger bust for the Saints. even vaughn dunbar is a better answer than ricky williams. a "bust" doesn't run for 1000 yards and then get traded for two #1 picks.

	this list is very arbitrary. Ricky Williams a bust? You're inviting criticism by not even having a clear definition of bust.

	He may like the green, but Ricky Williams is still putting up good stats right now, 10 years later! (enough to be worth owning and in deeper leagues even starting in fantasy) How is that a bust? he can't help what the Saints did to get him, he did well when he got into the league, that makes him not a bust.

	Joey Harrington should be over Rogers for Detroit. Kid was supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. And there is no way you could ever put Ricky&Reggie Williams, along with Carr, on this list.

	Mike Junkin and Gerard Warren were both bigger busts for the Browns than Tim Couch was.

	Yeah it's tough to put Carr and Couch on this list because they had little to no chance to succeed with the teams around them. As a browns fan, I would also consider Warren as a bigger bust than couch. Ricky Williams is definitely not a bust. Also, how do you not have JaMarcus Russell on this list? He had so much hype, and is probably one of the biggest draft busts of all time.
