PrintWe are starting something new here at Hogs Haven. We post numerous polls on countless topics. Everyone rings in with an answer and the votes often tally in the thousands. Yet our opinions get a bit lost in this blog format. So we have decided to add a Section called "Redskins Final Answer" to Hogs Haven. On the right-hand margin, you will notice a drop-down box of sections. Going forward, we hope that the "Final Answer" section will be a valuable and active resource to fans who wish to see what the general consensus is on topics we kick around here.
It is fitting that our first Final Answer is our top ten draft busts poll. We asked Redskins fans who the top ten draft busts were and this is...our Final Answer:
1. Heath Shuler--QB, 1994
2. Desmond Howard--WR, 1992
3. Devin Thomas--WR, 2008
4. Michael Westbrook--WR, 1995
5. Andre Johnson--OT, 1996
6. Rod Gardner--WR, 2001
7. Durant Brooks--P, 2008
8. Bobby Wilson--DT, 1991
9. Tom Carter--DB, 1993
10. Richie Lucas--QB, 1960

Come on folks
Andre Johnson is very clearly the second biggest bust. He never played a game for us!
And as much as we all resent Michael Westbrook, he was a starter for many years.

The fact that none of us even know who the hell he is shows he's a bust.
And is probably the reason no one voted for him, haha.

Chickity check out the last line..
Andre T. Johnson (born August 25, 1973 in Southampton, New York) is a former American football offensive tackle in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins (1996), the Miami Dolphins (1997), and the Detroit Lions (1997-1998). He played college football at Penn State University and was drafted in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft. In his NFL career he only played three games, each for the Lions and is usually considered to be one of the worst first round picks of all time.1
per wikipedia
"You're fucking out!"
Andre Johnson played DT at PSU and we drafted him to play OG w/ the 30th pick in the 1st RD.
He’s easily #1.

Durant Brooks was a 6th round pick....come on.
Malcolm Kelly is a bigger bust and he’s still on the team.

+1
Dennis Morris is a bigger bust b/c of all the excitement LJP built up.

Yeah
Brooks was a 6th round punter, hardly a sure thing

Yeah, drafting Andre Johnson when he was 15 years old and making him play way out of position was a bad idea.

I don't get it.

I disagree with Westbrook....
he was definitely a disappointment but still for his career had 285 receptions for 4,374 yards and 26 touchdowns. He even rushed 22 times for 160 yards and one touchdown. He was a Skin for 9 seasons and granted….most of the above production was from 1999 (65 rec, 1191 yds, and 9 TDs), he was on this team twice as long and twice as productive, at minimum, than anyone else on this list. Did he live up to being the 4th pick in the draft….hell no…..but he wasn’t a bust.
Yet another offseason......another few months for the Skins to "shine".

Pretty much my assessment.
Disappointing, yes. Bust, no.
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
What constitutes as a "bust"?
Is it a player that never played (Andre Johnson)?
A player that didn’t produce (Desmond Howard)?
Or a player that was drafted in the 1st round and didn’t meet any expectations…..JASON CAMPBELL.
How is Jason Hesitation not on this list yeat Durant Brooks, a 6th rounder is on? Can you even be a bust when you’re drafted in the 6th round?
jesus dude, give it up.

Give it up?
This thread is about Redskins busts, no? So my contribution is pertinent to the subject.
With all due respect your contribution of putting JC remotely close to top busts is completely dumb.

Precisely.
Hate on JC all you want, Elaw.
But he’s nowhere near the top 10.
Nowhere.

You forgot one!
Among the long list of QB draft busts in this town there was Heisman Trophy winner Gary Beban in 1968. After a short and dismal career he retired in 1970.
I know you're going by the numbers
But Durant Brooks doesn’t belong on a bust list, he’s a 6th rd punter.

I tend to agree with the commenters by the way about Durant Brooks
I voted for Andre Johnson as #1. I originally threw Brooks out there kind of as a lark, but people really seemed peeved about him.
