Russell won't even do that at this rate.


I disagree - Leaf is far and away the #1 bust of all time. I wouldn't even put Russell #2 - that belongs to the overhyped, over-roided Tony Mandarich.

The reason Leaf is #1 is that he was an ass and treated people awfully everywhere he went - college and the pros. He had that famous meltdown on the SD reporter in which Junior Seau had to step in. Not only that, he was taken in the same draft as first-ballot HOFer Peyton Manning. Russell was in what has turned out to be a weak 2007 NFL QB class.
