    Leaf is a much, much, much bigger bust than Couch. The stat lines aren't even close.

    In Leaf's entire career, he's only passed for 3,666 yards and 14 TDs with 36 interceptions - passer rating of 50.0.

    Couch has passed for 11,100 yards with 64 TDs, 67 INTs and a passer rating of 75.1.

    Another name I'll throw out there for busts = Rick Mirer.

    I didnt realize Couch had that many TDs and INT. i thoight it was closer to 40 and 55.

    So why is couch having trouble to having a job, they are decent numbers.

    well the problem is the jobs, he has very few options

    Cowboys
    Denver ( Jake the snake has health problems)
    49ers ( they feel they6 dont need a QB)
    Bears ( as a back up ONLY)

    I think Miami ought to at least take a look at him. For next year of course. Then they could spend that early draft pick (sorry DWO) next year on a RB.

    Worst trade mistake in sports history might require another thread VF. Worst bust in league or sports history... Not Walker. I have to lean toward Todd. I saw him play in HS, and he was what everyone would call a "can't miss". Turned out to be one of the worst picks in RAIDER history.
