What’s your Mt Rushmore? I like this topic and I love the David Boston pick.



I’ll say

Darius Miles
Anthony Thomas
Percy Harvin
Brandon Jennings


Just off the top of my head. I want to put Chris Webber on the list

Freddy Adu is a perfect pick. That kid was supposed to revolutionize American soccer. But wouldn't Jay Cutler have to be the canonical choice here, at least as far as Chicago sports goes?

Derrick May.

I got the impression the lists were mostly trying to take injuries out of it if possible but was that even Prior's issue? I guess I just assumed it was as I started typing this post.

Make your list.

I dunno. I guess as Chicago figures go but he had a solid career relative to where he was drafted and bears fans always expected too much. Rick and I tried our best to warn them at the time.

If you take injuries out of consideration, that disqualifies basically every heralded-but-underachieving pitcher ever except, I dunno, Aaron Crow? That was a name we were supposed to remember.

My hottest take? Rex Grossman could succeed in today's NFL.

Most of these are injury related but whatever.

Mark Prior.
Jermichael Finley.
Aaron Rodgers. (Where them rings at boy?)
Derrick Rose.

But didn’t his career end at like 28 or whatever for no reason?

Garland rode Contreras' coattails in 05. He was touted as an ace, but turned out to be a number 2 starter on a good team at best.

_________________

Not really no reason. He basically abandoned his teams and teammates. He was a complete asshole.
However he was a good pitcher. Was he supposed to be better or could he have been better? No. Could he have had a longer career... maybe.

if that's the case then greg oden wouldn't be on it. he was an 80 year old man in a 60 year old man's body.

How about Dontrelle Willis?

Anyone who claims goat is an idiot, same with anyone who claims Rodgers as it. But nah not even fucking close. Not everyone gets to be Brady, Montana, and Bradshaw. It’s fucking hard to win a Super Bowl. You millennials smh

He’s not even close. You underestimate how hard it is to win a SB. Brees has one too. Saints and Packers fans laugh when Bears fans play this card.

Yeah I'd try to laugh it off too.
Dude bears fans know that the 86bbears should have won and underachieved. You'll do well to stop being in denial on this and accept it like we do.

The 2011 packers underachieved even more. But they made the NFC championship game in 2014 and 2016 and Rodgers has been hurt two of the other years. Favre won three straight MVPs and made back to back Super Bowls. You sound ridiculous.
