Maybe he's not total bust status but you did reference the picture
greenwood1921 said:...I know draft busts/successes can't really be called after one year (word to Jerry Rice and Mario Williams, etc.) But it's easy to dance on a player's grave years later, so let's see who y'all think will fail or succeed before the 2011 class even signs their contracts.
My calls:
BUSTS:
Nick Fairley.
Fairley could either be the next Warren Sapp or the DT version of Jamarcus Russell.
Since he's friends with Russell, I'll say he's the defensive Jemarcus. lol.
You did it!!
But hold up now, negrodamous points must now be subtracted

Ha!!!
Pree-shate the props, my melanin-deficient friend.
Jury still out on all of'em tho. Plenty of players have had good rookie years followed by average/bad careers and vice versa.

Nah, Quizz had a decent year for a 5th round draft pick. And his touches will only increase now that we got a O.C. that knows you can actually throw passes to RB's.
(funny how people like to call Matt Ryan "mr. check down" when we actually don't check down to our running backs enough.)
Our top 3 running backs had a COMBINED 64 catches last year. By comparison, our new O.C.'s last RB (Maurice Jones-Drew) had 46 catches by himself.
And let's be real, our current pro-bowl running back's career started off alot like Joaquizz's career. Low draft pick, considered undersized, spent his first years backing up a pro-bowl back.
Joaquizz had 393 total yards last year.
Michael Turner had 112 total yards in his rookie year.
I doubt Joaquizz will be 30-carry-a-game pro-bowl type back like Turner, but he'll be a better total-yardage back.

Colts interested in Leftwich as backup to No. 1 pick

Poor Drew Stanton.
All the guy wants to do is be a second-string quarterback. This isn't really asking much, you know? It's kind of like getting a wish from a genie and requesting a ham sandwich. But the football gods -- or more accurately, unkind general managers -- continue to toy with him.
The Jets signed Stanton to backup Mark Sanchez, then granted Stanton his request for a trade when they dealt for Tim Tebow. Stanton landed with the Colts, where it was presumed he would backup either Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III.
But hold the phone (or clipboard). The Colts are now reportedly pursuing free-agent quarterback Byron Leftwich to help teach Luck or Griffin, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Leftwich spent three of his last four seasons as an injury-plagued backup to Ben Roethlisberger. He's a student of the game and intimately familiar with the offensive scheme of Bruce Arians, who joined the Colts this winter after five years as O-coordinator with the Steelers.
All of this puts Stanton back in the same place he was during the wild Wednesday the Jets and Broncos danced around the Tebow deal, hoping and praying his team won't demote him before he throws a pass. Stanton left the Lions to get out of being a third-stringer. The label seems to have followed him.
funny.....fucked up but funny
