I don't believe it's really a curse. Most of those QBs sucked and the ones who didn't, faced careers that were cut short by unfortunate injuries.

Winning the Heisman is a big deal in college, but more times than not, these players in the NFL don't really have great careers. Mark Ingram has a Heisman and you'll never see his name among the GOAT running backs no matter how much the fans on here like to claim he was so great for us.

Carson Palmer absolutely was not a bust. He was off to a great start in 2006 too until his injury in the playoffs. He was never quite the same again after that, even counting the good seasons he had in Cincy after that. Palmer did manage to have a late career surge putting out a great campaign in 2015 but we mostly remember that awful playoff game where he had 4 INTs.

Cam Newton also wasn't a bust. I know we hate him for being a Panthers QB, but Newton used to give us fits years ago. Whether it was a weak year for MVPs or not, he still has that achievement on his resume. I remember when Cam was big enough to be an LB and would plow through guys when he took off running. The Broncos ended his career in that SB loss where they exposed him and then they finished him off in the 2016 season opener with those blows to the head.

RGIII had bust written all over him and I tried to tell people years ago when Colts fans debated they'd rather him over Luck (Bill Polian wanted RGIII over Luck, even going as far as to claim that's who he would've picked).

Mobile QBs like RGIII and Lamar Jackson usually don't have lock careers cause they rack up injuries from running around.

Manziel and Mayfield I figured were going to be busts too cause they were such douchebags in college and getting into trouble.

I can't believe Murray was even a #1 overall draft pick. What I saw yesterday was a bust QB who really can't make plays and is in for a world of pain when the Cards have to start facing defenses that blitz and knock him around.

History says...stay away from Heisman Trophy winners, especially those that play QB. Some years back I looked up how many Heisman winners won a Super Bowl. The results showed that Heisman RBs had a decent showing. QBs...not so much.

All true.

Another Heisman QB who was a massive bust - Andre Ware. The Lions managed to draft him and Barry Sanders; two Heisman guys on the same team.

Ware was pretty much a bust who couldn't throw down field that first year. Detroit used to put him in for clean up duty when they were getting blown out.

Funny enough despite the narrative of how "bad" the Lions were in Sanders' years, they made the playoffs in 1991 when they had Erik Kramer at QB replacing Ware. They even won a playoff game, something that no other Lions team managed to achieve.
