The writer contradicts themselves.

Nobody in NFL history is going to eclipse Ryan Leaf. His off-field demons, coupled with being the pick after Peyton Manning will forever establish him as the biggest bust in history. After that comes JaMarcus Russell, a desperate, Hail Mary of a No. 1 pick that saw the Raiders pass over TWO Hall of Famers taken immediately after in Calvin Johnson and Joe Thomas.

Wouldn't this make Russell the biggest bust ever?

Zach Wilson on the Mt Bustmore of biggest busts in the NFL at #3

Must be some angry Jets fans putting that list together.

NYC not greatest place for young QB for many reasons. But no doubt he’s a bust.

11/21/23 4:55am

What if Aaron Rodgers had been the incumbent QB and Zach sat behind him for 2 or 3 years?

Yeah, maybe. That worked for Rogers, but he also didn’t have NYC distractions

The bust label hurts. Wish Zach had gone in round 3, which reflected his skills.

A little premature don’t you think?

I agree with the people that have talked about his processing speed as an area of improvement.

Zach always struggled with reads and decision making...Arod was excellent

This is 100% on point and it was the same at BYU

Because Jets backups have come in and shown that the QB is the real issue 🙄

I doubt he is #3. There are qb busts every year, he is just the most recent.

Agreed. Recency bias and the Jets organization are two moderating factors.

Seriously, didn't Akili Smith have some major off the field issues, a la Leaf?

Hope KC or another real organization

I want this as well. Eagles, niners, or chiefs as the 3rd string is ideal.

He needs to get off that team. They think the QB is everything. In all reality,

Garret Wilson would also be a weapon

What a BS article

It’s more about the writer/analyst proving he was correct in his pre-draft

11/21/23 7:45am

Fair enough, I think most reasonable people would agree that #2 was early

If I’ve learned anything about Zach Wilson is that 99% of CB thinks he’d be

Magneto

Wrong. I think CB has been very realistic about ZW. He would be

I don't think he'd immediately be amazing. But I think he has the skills and

tony

Uhh what? I doubt even 10 percent of CBers think Zach would be amazing. Poll q?

11/21/23 4:24pm

Don’t know much about Leaf, but putting Zac next to Manzel and Russell is BS

RIGAMORTIS

11/21/23 8:17am

You can't put ZW as a bust given the organization he was drafted by

Mount Bustmore...ok, that is pretty funny.

Parker Schnabel

11/21/23 9:40am

This is just absurd. The real bust here is Robert Sallah & his coaching staff
