sorry, it's reality. Where there's smoke there's fire. Few Busts you say???
Cory Fleming, Kelley Washington, Donte Stallworth, Robert Meachem, Peerless Price....
none of them live up to their hype. (only Carl Pickens was any good)
the Raiders are finding out Denarius Moore can't run routes
Not to mention all the countless busts at other positions that the Dolphins had from Tennessee, Eddie Moore and Jason Allen anyone? No More!!
I did say last 10 yrs, not the entire history of the school, but alright. I'll play this game.
So in your mind Miami should only draft players from school who have never had a bust. Well I guess that leaves Miami drafting players from ( tell us what school has never had a bust? ) When you send as many players to the NFL as UT does, then you will have your share of bust. You cannot name a school that does not have a ton of bust on its list if you are going to go back over its history.
Oakland doesn't have a Qb & for a Wr that you said cannot run routes put up 50 catches for 736 Yds & 6 Tds. ( More than any Miami Wr combined ) You are also talking 3rd Rd picks in Fleming ( which I'm not sure why he was drafted that high, never liked him ) Washington another 3rd Rd pick. ( thought he would do better but lacked the work ethic ) Why did you leave out Mark Jones, he was a 7th Rder who did not make it & Price was not a bust. Drafted in Rd 2 performed well enough to be traded for a 1st Rd pick.
Oh you are expanding it to the whole school in order to help your point, since its so weak. Every school has bust & its ignorant for anyone with a brain to start selecting only the bust. You are leaving out Jerod Mayo, Jason Whitten ( Future HOF ), Anthony Miller ( Wr ) Kevin Burnett ( Current Phin ), Dustin Colquitt, Aubrayo Franklin, John Henderson, Albert Haynesworth, Chad Clifton, Alvin Harper (WR ), Willer Gault ( WR ) & there is more.
However, Miami has drafted a couple of players from Tenn in the last 10 yrs that did not pan out & now every player from Tenn is bad.
Eddie Moore a bust? Really? Heck even he said he expect to be drafted till Rd. 5. Not his fault Wanny could not scout. Allen was a disappointment, but still good enough to be in the NFL 8 yrs later.
So the perception does not equal reality because you do not know to what you are referring to.
