How are you so bad at quarterbacks

They tried once and when it didn't work they were like :shrug: and decided to trade for 49ers guys instead. I believe they have spent 2 picks on quarterbacks in the first three rounds in the last 33 years.

Was Aaron Curry just a trash player in Seattle or was it the injuries that did him in? When he went to Oakland there was talk about him not being able to learn the playbook, but it didn't matter because his knees were a loving disaster by that point.

At least it probably contributed to the ousting of notably bad talent evaluator Tim Ruskell and contributed to manbaby coach Jim Mora jr's firing. God i hated the 2009 season. The only good thing about them was the lime green jerseys which they only wore once because olindo mare blew a bunch of fg's against the bears and Mora somehow attributed the loss to the unis instead of his dumb face and poo poo coaching

I think he could be alright for someone, maybe not a starter level. But he was not worth 10-12 million a year he was making and has had injury problems the last few years. He was mostly healthy last year and struggled a lot, but then again the whole secondary did.

edit: actually, he was only scheduled to make 7m this coming year, I thought he was on more.

I think it approached 100%, he was universally seen as the totally safe, bust-proof choice. Hilarious in hindsight thought.

Yes. Boller was bad but he actually contributed positively to winning games once in a while.

I've just always disliked the pick from day one. They could have held on to julien peterson for one more year and got a DT or a CB. I mean kelly Jennings was still starting and he was just the worst (another ruskell 1st round whiff 2! Whole career picks).

The linebackers were the best part of that lovely defense.

Mamula was actually a sort of ok player for a few years, not worth the pick but not in biggest bust territory. It's just so memorable because of the fans chanting "We want Sapp" at the draft and then Sapp goes on to be a hall of famer.

Leaf at least netted us Tomlinson and Brees a few years later.

English and Davis were awful, but at least they had the health excuse. Antoine Cason was dogshit AND healthy

The game I remembered as being his best (Packers in 2005) he was 19/27 253 and 3tds and the Packers were 3-11 at the time. So he's got that one game going for him at least :v:
