David Ligon started 2 years on the OL, so no. I wouldn't put Bill Grimes on there. The staff knew he wasn't going to be a superstar, but thought he might develop into a guy that could contribute a little. Adam Meyers-White played some at LB, never at DB. Marsalous Johnson and Antonio Gaites started. Johnson is still here and still could earn PT. Antonio Reynolds was a starter for maybe two years.

Adam Myers White was a US Army All American and never did squat. Antonio Reynolds was a 5 star coming out of JUCO and wasnt very good at all. David Ligon was very forgetable.

Ligon was fine. No way he was a bust. Albert Toheina would be more appropriate. You might also put Brad Cottam in consideration at TE. He was injured about 90% of his career.

And you have Meyers-White and Ligon listed at positions they didn't play. I guess Tim Tebow has been a pretty big bust as a linebacker.

Brent schaeffer?? Commoooooon. It shouldt count if you get beat out by someone else and transfer. How about Joey Mathews? Gotta throw in "the answer" or "the future" or whatever Kelley "the bust" Washington wanted to go by at WR. And lets not forget the awesome James Banks...we'll say ATH.

Kelley Washington was awesome in every game. There's just no way to say he was a bust.

I wouldn't exactly call Kelley Washington a bust either.

James Banks was far from a bust. He wasn't the greatest player in the world, but at least he tried. How about we just start naming ever loser who quit on us last year, that would be more appropriate than blasting kids who actually gave it their all.

Washington was far from a bust and I believe is still in the NFL

ok ok ok jeez. I'm just saying if brent schaefer can be on the list so can washington and banks. And making a "bust list" is in itself blasting kids so who gets to decide who is worthy of "blasting". Jeez people guy cant have an opinion without coaches and god posters coming out.

Adam Meyers-White wouldn't be my pick either. Someone that hardly plays can hardly be called a bust. Unless I'm missing something here. Was he highly touted in HS?

It's just how the net is. If you have a stance on a topic, be prepared to defend it.

He was a four star safety, I believe. He played a decent amount, but should have been redshirted so he'd be available this year. This would be his chance for PT.

Brent was not a bust. We favor a pocket passer (then and now).

He done well here, considering he did not fit the profile.

sorry, I didn't realize you wanted your posts on a message board to be without criticism. What did Brent Schaeffer ever do besides throw an up-for-grabs ball vs SC and then proceed to be 4th on the OM depth chart?

Personally, I think that that's part of why Fulmer lost it. IMO, Schaffer could have been better than Ainge.

Bill Grimes was no bust. He was never expected to be a big playmaker at receiver. Montrell Jones was a bigger bust at wideout.

Jabari Davis was a bigger bust than Coker, in my opinion.

No he can't. Not liking him is different than being a bust.

Fully prepared to explain my positions if asked but I see no question marks. Just "How in the world" type comments assuming that my opinion is both wrong and irrelevant. Thats all I'm saying. Why not the entire 05 team??
