I remember when my Broncos were going to go "all in" and draft that bust in '09

Lack of melanin and they weren't drafted 1 or 2
Just saying.
I'm always reading about JaMarcus and Vince and Leaf.
But these two seem to always get a pass.
Sure Mark Sanchez gets made fun of. But dude was the 5th overall pick.
Nobody mentions these guys when they talk about failed draft picks.
There's more hate on Reggie Bush online (hell on the coli) than there is for Leinart and Sanchez.

I’m here for the scraps
Sanchez won 4 road playoff games. He flamed out, but wasn't a complete bust

I actually forgot Sanchez was a #5 pick with all the times that fact is never mentioned. He is a humongous bust yet we never hear about him, Leinart or most non-black busts except maybe Alex Smith. Even Bradford is rarely called a bust even though he's a collosal one.
.People say Leinart was a bust. There's a big difference between going first overall and around 5tg and 10th. Not to mention one was compared against Peyton and the other had some big off the field issues DURING his career. Leaf has had issues, but many of those were after his exit from the NFL.
Sanchez gets an exception because he took us to two AFC championship games. Also his numbers were good during the playoff stretch.
Matt is because of white privilege.

Stop with this "oh he didnt go 1st overall so he isn't a BUST BUST" shyt. The only really Sanchez didn't go higher than 5th (because 5th is so low right) is because the teams picking beforehand simply didnt need a QB. If you're a first-round pick and you don't end up at the very least becoming a quality starter for some years, you're a fukking bust.
