Remember me? I sucked! (Cade McNeezy)

Good players will sometimes appear in a “Got Milk?” ad. Bad players will sometimes appear on the side of a milk carton. Unfortunately, the following ex-Chicago Bear fits the latter:

Cade McNown was selected 12th overall in the 1999 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. He was, obviously, a highly-touted quarterback coming out of UCLA and in his senior season, finished third in Heisman Trophy voting.

Yet, as quickly as he put on the navy blue and orange, the wheels on the McHype machine began to fall off.

McNown would finish his atrocious, two-year Bear career with a 54.6 completion rating, 3,111 yards passing, 16 touchdowns, 19 interceptions and a miserable 67.7 passer rating.

His only notable achievement would be allegedly getting with Heather Kozar, the wife of fellow bust and sh-tty quarterback, Tim Couch.

Maybe, the biggest shame is that neither McNown’s talent, nor production level could match the awesomeness that was the above poster.

Luckily, an artistic effort of that kind isn’t misused on busts anymore:
