You should do a vid on how every team since 2010 won the Super Bowl and how their team worked

I've got a lot of respect for Tony Mandarich due to the fact that he overcame his substance issues and proved that he was an NFL caliber player. That took guts!

Ryan Leaf is just a mess of a human. It's also weird because he gives really funny, insightful and honest interviews, then proceeds to do something stupid to get arrested yet again. It's quite a human tragedy. Makes you appreciate the likes of Kurt Warner or Russell Wilson who were nobodies and became super bowl champs through their hard work.

Step 1: Get drafted number 1 overall. Step 2: Immediately go to Vegas and party! Step 3: Don’t about learning the playbook. Step4: Show up to practice drunk!

*first guy in the video* "Tore his ACL in his first preseason game with the bengals" Me, a Bengals fan: yep, sounds about right.

Moral of the story... STAY FOCUSED!! The Jamarcus Russell story regarding the empty case is classic.

*Dwayne Haskins has entered the chat*

So you're saying i should go out in a flaming ball of self destruction? Already on it dawg

I hope when Ryan was released, at least one article was titled "Ryan Leaves"

Ryan leaf is a totally chill dude now. Just saw him recently on the Pat McAfee show. He’s taken responsibility for his attitude and I think this whole thing made him a better man.

A lot of times it seems like some guys are so physically gifted, they’ve never had to work at football very hard. Then they get to the NFL.....and the work ethic they never developed, is hard to come by. Its like a really smart kid, who never had to study, but then gets to grad school and has no idea how to prepare for a test, because they’ve never needed to. I feel bad for most draft busts, because really they are just kids and their failure is on the front page and will be talked about for years to come. I’m kind of shocked that teams investing their future in so much uncertainty, don’t have some kind of mentoring program. An assistant coach or retired player who gets payed a decent salary, just to make sure that the million dollar kid is keeping it together and getting tucked in at bed time. If anything, paying more attention to the psychological and emotional struggle that a young kid who is given tens of millions of dollars suddenly, would seem worth while. Its impossible for a 21 year old to realize that their NFL career will be over in the blink of an eye.

Daily Reminder that Skip Bayless really sucks at being a sports analyst

Alternate title to the video: description of most cleveland browns draft pick

6:20 Thanks for bringing excellent Skip Bayless analytics. How could we even think of football without this living genius

Set The Edge: Uploads Me: I like that, I like that a lot

The stories of busts are always fascinating, particularly when you gain an understanding of why they were overhyped and why they failed, but I really love stories about the guys who were overlooked and rejected, fought their way onto a team and ended up in the HOF. Dick Lane. Deacon Jones. Marion Motley. Kurt Warner. Johnny Unitas. Bart Starr. Warren Moon. Tom Brady. The list goes on and on of great players who were overlooked or cast aside, but who eventually succeeded. You could do a whole series on them. I'd watch them over and over and over.

I swear to god, RG3’s knee bends fueled my nightmares for years.

9:15 I though the DVD was blank, not that the case was empty. It’s a hilarious story either way.

That Skip clip has me rolling on the ground laughing

The empty DVD case story killed me 💀😂

Nah man Jemarcus gotta be number 1 with that empty dvd case story lmfaoooo dude didnt even open the case....

Me: I want Peyton Manning Mom: we have Peyton Manning at home Peyton Manning at home:

I can't help but feel that Leaf deserved a finishing note on this video. He was an addict and now is in recovery and works with others in recovery as well. He may not have had football success but he has finally gotten clean and seems much happier in his new life

5:11 “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”, you must be at least 35 years old to understand that reference.

I think you left out some stuff about JaMarcus Russell. I just don’t think you painted the full picture, but I would recommend Flemlo raps video on him if anyone wants something a bit more in depth

The moral of the story: Don't use steroids like Mandarich, use HGH like Manning!

I wonder if Brady feels like thanos when he puts all his rings on

Simple just get drafted by Cleveland.

The Chosen Bust: Ryan Leaf

I swear I was just binge watching you an hour ago!!! Thanks for keeping me busy and entertained through all this 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Me: A new video My mom: have you done you’re chores? Me: yep-totally

Me: I wanna watch some set the edge. Set the edge: I got you

Tbh JaMarcus Russell was at a BAD point in his life mentally with several close family members dying and he said he let it get to him and didnt go and try to have the support system around him. He still a bust but I like having that perspective.

I’ll admit it... as a colts fan in the mid to late 90s I really wanted them to draft Leaf. You have to understand that he really was an amazing college player. He had a good game against Michigan and I really liked his chances in the NFL... Nobody could’ve predicted the meltdown that would then ensue. Happy the Colts landed Manning, and I’m happy Leaf has his life back together now. In the end things unfold as the universe intended.

Set the edge: Uploads video about being a draft bust. Me: ah so a video about the cleveland browns!

And to add insult injury to the Cleveland Browns. Teddy Bridgewater was in that draft last two quarterback and all their data suggested that Bridgewater on paper was the better quarterback. But no they decide to go with Johnny Menzel because they thought he would help sell tickets.

“Draft day , Johnny Manziel 5 years later how am I the man still” -Drake 2014

Do clevelanders hate Johnny football more or love LeBron James more?

I was so confused about when the sponsor wssnt manscape

Im hella late but the ending of this video finally helped me come to terms with that interception as a hawks fan. I'm eternally grateful

He did us Seattle fans dirty at the end

Lmao that empty dvd box story was hilarious.

Bro they had a bodybuilder playing left tackle that dude was enormous

No one cares if u were first, no one cares if u were last, but most importantly, nobody asked.

At least with Tony Manderich he got a second shot with the Colts and even played with Peyton Manning as a guard before a shoulder injury forced him to retire.

In 1962, the Cleveland Browns traded Bobby Mitchell (HOF) to move up to the #1 spot in the draft. They used it to draft Ernie Davis. Unfortunately, Davis got leukemia and died without taking even 1 NFL snap.

I actually wrote Ryan Leaf a long direct message on twitter. Talking about how amazing opportunities can quickly create negative opportunities. With money comes problems. He answered and couldn’t have been more nice and professional! Really appreciate him answering, felt like sharing! (excellent video per usual btw)

Remember being subscribed to him when he had 10k subs. His channel literally blew up

I wish they mentioned Johnny footballs CFL career and how he got permanently banned from the league for illegally negotiations.

Manziel will always be a case study about how to destroy your career before it ever gets started.

Your vids are the best nice job

Here’s a fun question should a QBs like David Carr, and Tim Couch be considered busts or are they just products of really bad teams?

Love your content

It warms my Heart that Johnny Football is the thumbnail of this video, showing the true masters of draft busts the Cleveland Browns

I remember Manziel’s debut. My Cincinnati Bengals shut that guy down. What a cathartic game

As a chargers fan my whole life , it hurts because seeing what Peyton could have done for us, my dad still has Ryan leaf stuff from before he even played

As a bears fan... I’ll just show myself the door

The thumbnail had Manziel, but we all knew the biggest star of this video would be Leaf.

As a teacher, the key thing I try to drill into kids heads is that hard work will always exceed pure talent. You look at Manziel who was gifted never worked to better himself. Fast forward to the present and you have Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, and Pat Mahomes who have all held positions as starters and could most likely be franchise qbs. They have all had bad games, but the difference is they try to be better than they were the day before.

3:18 is when the video starts.

Vernon Gholston broke my heart, then there's Dee Milliner , Calvin Pryor, even Mark Sanchez. Being a Jets fan has not been fun.lmao

Yo STE the self-depreceation joke at the start was kinda funny but I do wanna say speaking as just a sub you don't fall short of my expectations, you consistently make solid videos so dont be actually hard on yourself :)

6:20 When Skip Baseless starts hyping your train, time to get some serious insurance! Maybe move.........

My goodness, could you imagine if Green Bay would have took Barry Sanders.

Did you really have to put that clip at 16:41 😪😅

Jamarcus Russell is the biggest genius in NFL history lmao!

I feel bad for people who weren't around for the glory that was Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell. Truly beautiful examples.

The draft bust hierarchy: Tier 0 (God-tier bust): Ryan Leaf Tier 1 (Talented, could've been HOFers if they commited themselves to the game): Jamarcus Russell, Johnny Manziel Tier 2 (Failed because of two of 3 factors: injuries, poor play, and off the field issues): Lawrence Phillips, Art Schlichter Tier 3 (Never deserved the hype): Brian Bosworth, Tony Mandarich Tier 4 (Failed because of the injury bug): Ki-Jana Carter, Steve Emtman Tier 5 (Simply isn't NFL material): Blair Thomas, Matt Leinart Tier 6 (Failed because they were immediately thrusted into the spotlight): Akili Smith, Heath Shuler Tier 7 (Average to above-average players who are always being compared to HOFers/future HOFers): Ken O'Brien, Jadeveon Clowney Tier 8 (Players who were drafted into the wrong system/wrong team): David Carr, Tim Couch Tier 9 (Players who didn't live up to the hype but still have long productive careers): Jim Plunkett, George Rogers

Man I'm going to be 21 by the time kto uploads again (im 12)

I like how this man talks about busts and i feel hes either a bengals or browns fan and is doing these vids to cope with the disaster of picks

How do these scouts fail so miserably with drafting QBs? Here's what I would come up with: 1. Accuracy, Accuracy, Accuracy 2. Arm Strength 3. Pocket Presence, Footwork 4. Throwing Mechanics 5. Hand Size and Height 6. Difficulty of Offense in College 7. College Class Attendance/Grades 8. Likability with his College teammates 9. High School Record 10. Family Life - Part of a Nuclear Family with an active Father 11. Practice and Preparedness 12. Leadership Skills 13. Any failed drug tests, DUIs 14. Charisma 15. Have them run every pass route possible with an NFL Football vs College Football ***If a potential prospect, refuses to attend a combine or pro-prospect day, highly question your decision to draft***

Love STE

My Favorite Channel! I have watched every video!

5:50 that might be the easiest and most open td pass I've ever seen

In my opinion one part u forgot is coaching a bad coaching staff can lead to failure and only failure for example look at Alex Smith considered a bust on the niners till they got a good coach in harbaugh and he lead a 13-3 squad

12:50 who was leaf throwing to? There wasn’t a receiver within 10 yards of that pass

Thanks for shaming us brownies again with the thumbnail 😭😭😭

You make some of the best Football related videos on yt in my opinion 👍🏼

I remember watching that game when Carter went down. Talk about a terrible break, I felt for the guy.

To the person reading this: I know times a rough and seem bleak like a tunnel that seems endless but there’s always light at the end. Like the dark days that make the bright days seem even brighter. I just want to let everyone know you’re beautiful. You are an amazing person and someone loves and appreciate you being here. So don’t give up because we all rooting for you even if you can’t see us. So you have an amazing day and god bless you and your family.

Watching this video wearing my Brady Quinn Browns jersey

Trying to disguise yourself by wearing a wig to a crowded bar is a work of art alright. What a plan. Still makes me laugh.

As messed up as it sounds, it's weirdly entertaining to see how far busts will fall, like Russell and Manziel stuff was always funny to watch.

Yo I’m somewhat early

*The art of being a bad franchise video pleaseeeee*

Tim Couch had his health destroyed by the lack of a decent O-line his first few years, but he's still the only QB to take the expansion Browns to the playoffs (though another injury prevented him from playing once they got there).

You’ve been killing it lately with your last few vids. Really good stuff!

Jesus didn’t fail. He died so that we could live. That’s not failure . That’s victory

I'm from the uk I can't use hello fresh. sorry ste ❤️❤️

I don't know if you watched the 2014 NFL Draft, but Johnny Manziel was *not* overdrafted. Football heads had him as high as #3 and no lower as #16 to the Cowboys because "Jerry Jones could not pass up the opportunity of a lifetime."

Thanks so much for the out of nowhere Malcolm Butler interception, really just getting my salt level up.

So early that theres no views and 33 likes

Who the hell are the San Diego chargers

I really enjoy your channel. I've decided to limit the people I watch and the pandemic made it easier. Your channel is top shelf for me. Very well presented, researched and interesting without being a sell out. Keep it up

OUCH!!! that last clip with no running from Seattle really hurt!!!I will live with that one for ever. I guess, as you said, failure is the foundation of greatness. Hope the Seahawks understand how thick and strong the foundation it's right now....

For an exhaustive listing of NFL draft busts, consult the Cleveland Browns roster since 1999!

Manziel would have succeeded in most organizations, who would have helped mentor and mature him. The browns just weren’t it.

Best NFL channel on KZfaq

But if you did your homework of Leaf you would have found out about his character issues. His work effort. His questionable leadership. It was all there. He had bust written all over him. If you did your homework. Leaf could handle winning but not losing.
