crashingjet Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I don't think these guys deserved this, but who am I to disagree with Sports Illustrated. With my colleague Peter King naming his NFL All-Pro team today, it seemed like the perfect time to provide you with the flip side of awards season. Each and every week in the NFL, there's a loser for every winner, and therein provides the fodder for my second annual NFL All-Disappointment team, which the snappy headline writers here at SI.com last year dubbed my All-Bust team (thanks a bunch, guys). Consider it a who's who of NFL underachievement in 2008: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Gholston deserves it, but Faneca? Give me a break. Ask King how many points they put up in NE. I don't really think Rhodes deserves it either. Hell, even saying Gholston wasn't making the active roster by the end of the year is a crock of ****. He actually missed only one game and it was Buffalo. They had to activate Clowney because Brad Smith was knocked senseless by Willis the week before. Gholston was active the last two weeks.

Not to mention his justification for Welker is # of 9-10 yard catches with 2 different QB's (one of whom also made David Givens look like a legitimate NFL WR and made Deion Branch worthy of a #1 pick and a $40M contract from Seattle). And not for nothing, but Welker's got Randy Moss taking two DB's with him on every pass play, if you're crazy enough to consider that an advantage. I'd say Roddy White getting 1200+ yards in 14-15 yard chunks from the trio of Harrington-Redman-Leftwich, and then following that up with just under 1400 yards in 15-16 yard chunks from a different QB (who was a rookie no less, who had never thrown a pass to him in practice before 2008, under a different HC, with a different playbook) as he more-than-doubled Welker's TD-production the following season, was more impressive. And in either season, name the receiver that drew attention (let alone double-teams) away from White. Probably the most underrated WR in the NFL for the second straight season. Sure wish Hermway had drafted him instead of a friggin' kicker - a Goddamn kicker - who essentially just missed the whole 2008 season. Oh wait, I forgot - we already had Justin McCareins & just swapped Santana Moss for Mr. Bitches-through-the-media every year, Laveranues Coles, so we didn't need him. What we needed was a 2nd-round kicker and Doug Jolley and an extra 6th rounder or two. Best of all, White (being a first round pick & therefore able to sign a 5-year rookie deal) is still under that rookie contract & Nugent (who hasn't proven to be a definitively better kicker than the guy we picked up off the scrap-heap after the season was already underway) is scheduled to be a UFA in 2 months. And since that 2005 season ended, Doug Jolley has registered exactly one catch for 7 yards...for Tampa Bay. Maybe it was the Cedric Houston draft pick that made it worthwhile. Or the other pick that we used to trade up for Kerry Rhodes in round 4, instead of just drafting him in round 3 over the great Sione Pouha. Painful stuipidity that we're still paying for 4 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painful stuipidity that we're still paying for 4 years later. That 2005 draft kills me everytime I think about it. We were already moving downward off the 2003 draft, but that 2005 draft is what really made it very hard for the team to sustain itself off the Parcells squads.
