With former number 2 overall pick Zach Wilson granted permission to seek a trade, it got me thinking if any former 1st round QB who was labeled as a bust ever actually found a home on a new team.
I’m thinking of “home” as a place they stayed for 3 or more seasons and took meaningful snaps.
Here’s the 69 QBs who were drafted in the first round since 2000, sorted by QB Rating in the first 4 years of their career:
You could maybe argue for Alex Smith. But I don’t think that would be fair - he under-performed his expectations, but I don’t think he was ever fully considered a “bust” like how Zach Wilson, Johnny Manziel, or Jamarcus Russel were/are.
Am I missing someone? Would you change how I’m looking at this?
