[vols fan]

Lets face it boys.They played in the Pac10 and the Big 12.They didn't see real talent till they got to the NFL.They should have went to an SEC school to prepare them for the next level.

I agree 100% I remember how much criticism the Texans were getting for selected Williams. They made the correct move.

This is very true. Dont Charlie seem like a fucken genius now?

VY is a punk. The minute his mom got on the media, VY became a joke to me. He couldnt handle the boos? WTF?

Leinart doesnt try hard enough. The dude is a pretty boy trying to play a man's game.

Reggie is fast....uhhhh. Reggie is fast

Im thinking maybe the teams these guys played in college made these guys look better than they actually are. All 3 of these guys played on great college teams and they may have reaped some of the benefits of that. In college there are teams that are far superior to other teams talent wise, in the pros the talent for the most part is pretty even, so they dont have the advantage of going against much weaker oppenents. Just my opinion

You hit the nail on the head coach. The media hypes up these guys as if they walk on fucking water.

I know it's only the 1st game of the season, but bush started off slow against a team with not much of a defense.

7 carries for 14 yards and 1 of those carries went 10 yards. So his other 6 carries were for a big 4 yards.

5 catches for 55 yards with the longest going 26 yards. So his other 4 catches were for 29 yards a little over 7 per catch which is pretty good.

Now he did fumble twice and recovered 1 of them.

I still think this guy is over rated.

3 catches for 42 yards longest 29 yards
2 punt returns -1 yards longest 3 yards

How about some of these other rookies that have signed for big money this year that haven't proved anything. MLB has it set up better for players entering MLB.

One the all time biggest busts:
Ante Josip "Tony" Mandarich (born September 23, 1966 in Oakville, Ontario) is a former football offensive lineman of the NFL. He was the first round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 1989, second overall behind Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, and ahead of the third selection, Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders, the fourth selection, Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas, and the fifth selection, perennial All-Pro cornerback Deion Sanders. He is tied with Charles Rogers as the second highest drafted Michigan State player ever (behind Bubba Smith). He is also the highest-drafted Canadian-born player in NFL history. In 1989, Sports Illustrated called him "The Best Offensive line prospect ever"[1]

Personally, any football player or any man for that matter that has their mom talk on their behalf is a bust, a punk, a lil biatch. Thus, VY is a bust. I can talk hours about this guy but that will come on another post.

Leinart - I think he's just a pretty boy and doesn't want to get his jersey dirty. From what I read, he doesn't study as much as he should which prevents him from growing.

Bush, not a bust but not a premier player either. Def not worth the #2 overall spot. I dont think Chris Johnson is that much faster than him or even bigger than him. I think Chris is smaller. It might be that O-line that Chris has but how come Chris runs all over the place and Reggie just punt returns?

Hindsight, Mario Williams was a GREAT PICK.

I remember all the hype when he was coming into the NFL. What a dud!

That guy was a big time bust! I believe he was a roid head as well.
