Biggest Redskins Bust NOT named Heath Shuler

My vote would be for Tom Carter. A highly rated pick from Notre Dame with 4.4 speed at corner.

Played a couple of years for the Redskins back in the '90's, then ended up with the Bears for a cup of coffee and vanished, never to be seen again.

At least Shuler has a successful real estate company in Tennessee.

Desmond Howard has to be a bigger bust than Heath. (at least for us) he won the heisman for crying out loud.

Ricky Ervins

man, i guess u froget about the things he has done in GB. a bust is a guy who totally does not make it.. ITs our fault we did not use him properly, but GB did

Hell, as a receiver we used him far better than everyone else. He never 700 yards with us in his third season and that was the only time in his career that he broke 300 :doh:

GB just had him as their return man, he was there for one year, and he only had 92 yards receiving. The ONLY thing he did with the Packers was snag the Super Bowl MVP... and during the regular season he wasn't even that good at kick returns (only a 20 yard average).

Amazing punt returner that one year, though.

What you talking about? He had one lucky game for GB doing kick off returns. That was his only year he played for GB. His best year in NFL was for us. I didn't realizr he played as long has he did. Teams would never give up on theis guy.

Tom Carter was HORRIBLE. He got burned all the time and never showed any kind of ability...at least Michael Westbrook had flashes, as few as there were:laugh:

How about the flash Westbrook showed way back late one monday night when he made a huge catch to put us around the 25yard line for game winning overtime field goal chance, and then took off his helmet and slammed it on the field for a 15 yard penalty thus causing us to TIE the giants :doh: Wasnt that Gus's night too when he showed his brilliance and flashes of greatness by slamming his head into the wall?

i remember. but he slammed his helmet because the catch was ruled incomplete.

that game ended in a draw. if we had won, we'd have made the playoffs.

i remember discussing with my brother who was at fault the most for that one. was it gus for being a *bonehead* and slamming it in the wall? was it westbrook for losing his helmet/head? or was it.....well i forget the third person that shared some blame. i think jeff hostetler fumbled or threw an interception or something. i don't remember. anyone?

if anything, i remember our D was freaking awesome that game.

Yup... the hoss got hit at around the 50 yard line and threw the ball straight up in the air for a fumble or a pick, i cant remember which all i know is that it was a TO. I just remember wondering what the hell he was thinking just popping the ball straight up in the air.

Are you actually trying to say Tom Carter did better?? I'm hardly a Westbrook fan but hell that catch he had against the Cards to give us our first win in our first ever game at fedex was more than Tom Carter every accomplished in his stint here

Westbrook, even if there were worse busts on the field, how many of them sucker punched a future franchis running back in training camp? How many left camp to go to the circus or threw their helmets for a fifteen yard penalty? Wasn't he trying to be a cage fighter a few years ago?

Uhhh, it says biggest Redskins bust and being a top draft pick (not just 1st rounder, but in top ten) you need to be more than JUST a return man. As for the Redskins, HE WAS A BUST! He didn't come near or close to anything they should have gotten for that high pick, that high is supposeded to equal franchise player.
