Just like the other thread... only this is the top 4 failures in Rams history...

I'll take Lawrence Phillips, Eric Crouch, Drew Bennett and Kyle Turley.

Kyle Turley certainly wasn't the best trade the Rams ever made, and his time quickly fizzled out after just 2 years due to injury and issues w/Martz. But there are tons of free agents, trades, and draft picks that were larger busts than Turley. If you consider that the only season he was fully healthy (2003) he was an All-Pro, he can't be one of the top 4 worst Rams of all-time.

Not really. He was pretty good leading up to that Saints game in 2009.

Yeah, but he didn't have a concussion when he lost the RT job to Barry Richardson STRAIGHT UP during 2012 training camp/preseason

True. But the argument can be made that after his first concussion, he was never the same player. Then, after the second concussion, he obviously didn't have the killer instinct Boudreau was looking for.

Sure, he was great the year we got him... but Incognito looks at him and says "Man, what a headcase."
