You ever sit back and think about all the hyped up players of the past, and wonder.....((((What the heck happened?)))) You know....the guy that was suposed to be the Savior of a Franchise, but ended up being a disater.
Lets take fromer #1 NFL Draft Pick Tim Couch for example....
I feel sorry for him, because he was thrown in the fire with nothing to protect him from burning out. I think to myself......(((What happened?))) It was sad the way it ended too.... Getting booed by your home crowd while walking off the field with a injury.
So my Question to you is....Who is your "Franchise player" that makes you wonder....((((What happened?)))) lol *peace*

It has to be Ryan Leaf! I remember before the draft, there was a lot of arguements over which QB should go first - Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning. The experts were saying that Leaf has so much upside potential to grow into an amazing QB and that Manning was at his peak already and wouldn't improve much more. It's amazing how wrong they were and how their careers went totally in opposite directions.

The draft is a crap-shoot in both basketball and football. No one can predict the future. Any person that is drafted these are the following questions that are to be answered.
1). Work ethic?
2). Coachability?
3). Will player improve or is he as good as he will ever be?
4). Heart/will?
5). Adaptability?
6). Will the player quit in the face of adversity or fight back?
7). Is he just a front-runner or a real winner?

Right now in KC it's Ryan Simms. He was the 8th pick overall in the draft a few years ago and just hasn't done squat here. Quarterbacks are ALWAYS an iffy proposition. But a defensive line man that was taken w/ the 8th overall pick needs to be a solid contributor. We are wondering if the guy can even play a the NFL level!

You must be getting a lot of Chargers fans responding. Ryan Leaf is the obvious choice. He didn't help himself with his off-field conduct.
Sadly, I think Philip Rivers may be next in line. Chargers fans are looking to him to lead us into the playoffs, and he has yet to take a snap in a game that mattered. I hope he gets an opportunity to get the experience he needs, and don't forget that it took Drew Brees three seasons to get where he is.

Akili Smith, he came out in the so called class of QB's in 1999. He was picked third overall in the draft. I mean is this guy even in the NFL???? Let's just say the 1999 draft was full of disaster and controversy.

properly, once their college elligibility is up, they could't flow back to playing college ball, so as it truly is out. in the experience that they prefer to stay interior the game they could flow locate yet another league to play in--the Canadian football League and the sector football League are the most important of something--or they could attempt to get entangled with education football on some element. except that, they ought to locate something else to do. they could flow back to varsity and get more beneficial preparation in the different case connect the genuine international like something people.
