Biggest 08 Disappointment Thus Far? (1 Viewer)

Steven Jackson

Marvin Harrison

Lee Evans

Three of my top five draft picks.

Has to be Gore. Guy was taken in the top-5 of all drafts, has been healthy, and has been positively awful.Guys like Evans and Clayton, etc went much later in drafts. Nowhere near the same impact.

Gore has been awful? Really? He's on pace for about 1400 total yards and 8 TDs and is averaging 4.0 ypc. That's with him being "awful". So, if he goes from being "awful" to "decent" I guess he'll almost be able to justify his selection? Obviously he's not what we expected with a top 5 pick, but to say he is awful or the biggest bust this year is silly.

He's the 71st-ranked player in my league and RB16. He's been awful, sorry.

That's not awful and I wouldn't even consider him a true bust to be honest.

It doesn't matter why someone is a bust. Injury or otherwise either way it's points you're not getting. So far the clear busts to me are:

QB:Bulger,Brees

RB: SJax,Alexander,Rudi

WR:Evans,Colston,Harrison

TE: VD

DEF: Dolphins

I think it's Gore. An absolute teamkiller if you drafted him in the first, probably passing on Addai or even LJ (as I did on one team - - I didn't trust the Chefs, and still don't) in the process. Even worse, while, say, Lee Evans has a history of being a second-half guy (see the current thread on this topic), Gore is looking like a one-year wonder on an absolutely horrific offense without a clue how to advance the ball.

A one year wonder is a guy like Stacey Mack. If you watch Gore play, you would know he is not a one year wonder, but instead one of the most gifted RBs in the game. I expect him to have some more dominant seasons ahead.
