Limas belongs in the top 5. A second round pick and supposed steal, he was so bad, he made the previous pick of Rushhigh Fumblehall look like a genius move

Terrible article. You could pretty much start in 1968, and go backwards. Bust after bust after bust. Those 40 years of futility didn't happen by accident.

Every one a stiff. Marchibroda was the best of the bunch, and he blew too. This is beside the fact that the idiot coaching the team thought that he was better than Johnny Unitas.

Being a high draft pick and not playing actually hurts the team LESS than if you play a lot and you suck. For that reason, Ziggy Hood and Chad Scott are tops on my list. Ricardo Colclough would've been right with them, if we hadn't had the sense to get his sorry ass off the field sooner rather than later.

Guys like Jason Worilds and Jarvis Jones are great candidates for Tier 1A of this - high draft picks, not visibly getting annihilated 100% of the time, but ate up a lot of playing time with nothing positive to show for it.

THEN you can start talking about guys who didn't make it off the bench.
