The Biggest Bust in Bengals History?

[Truck_1_0_1_]

Akili Smith would easily be the biggest bust on a whole number of teams, let alone the Bengals; he's definitely it and that's NOT including the picks we missed out on.

After him, Fred's '84 draft is on point, Verser is up there and I still would put them above Klingler.

Poor Dave, he was thrust into a shitty situation, with arguably the worst oline in the league, with his only weapons being Tony McGee and Carl Pickens (albeit his first year as a starter). Jeff Query surprised, but who here even knows who Jeff Query is?

Harold Green had his epically bad year (2.7 YPC) and Klingler clearly didn't have the mental fortitude to rise above all this and his career was over after that '93 season.

Put in a better situation, he probably does a lot better than he did here, thus I wouldn't consider him an all-time bust.

Plus, his numbers are no Akili Smith.
