Although it's hard to label a fourth rounder a bust, I really thought that Danny Wuerffel was going to be a good NFL quarterback. In college, he ripped LSU apart. He was one of the more accurate college quarterbacks I'd ever seen. And, he seemed like a really smart QB.

Some have said that he had small hands and the difference in size between the college football and the NFL ball was his downfall.

Everything he did at UF involved timing routes where he threw to a spot on the field and the WR ran under it as opposed to throwing to the WR. He lacked the arm strength needed to play in the NFL.

I saw Wuerffel play a few times. The best description I ever heard of him as an NFL QB was that the game moved at 45 and Danny played it at 33 1/3.
