As a Browns fan, the first one that comes to mind is Tim Couch. He was picked out of Kentucky to be our first QB of the re-born Browns in 1999. He had all the tools, and seemed like a really decent guy as well. But the owners failed to put protection in front of him and a solid team around him, despite a really favorable expansion draft deal. He got pounded into oblivion behind that O-line and was never the same again. They destroyed that man's career, and set the franchise on a downward spiral that they're just STARTING to climb out of.
