how come tim couch is considered a bust?

[jamesave]

I am not too familiar with the NFL.

He was drafted high, but is it because he just can't win games?
Does he has any attitude problem like ryan leaf?

Because he's never been better than a mediocre starter in the NFL and you expect more from the #1 overall pick. He shouldn't be compared to Ryan Leaf though - that's a whole other level of bust.

#1 pick and has been hurt as well as mediocre.

He's a bust because he was considered to be the 2nd coming of Montana. He could barely keep a starting job with his performance.
Not exactly Ron Dayne but not too far removed.

Poor stats - lots of sacks, ints, and few td's. And a bunch of losses. Not entirely his fault, but good qb's will often show something even when on a poor team. Couch never did from what I can tell.

Doesn't the question pretty much answer itself? Being the number one pick in the entire draft you're expected to perform. He has not.

Lets see. cant get it through his head that hes not good. cant scramble. cant pass accurately. gets scared easily. not the best team player.

I see. I just thought that it was because the people surrounding him are not good enough..

but with his mediocre stats, could he be in the league for a while?

I guess it's just too high expectation to come out of him. Just like Ricky williams when he was a saint?
