Pour One Out For the Has-Beens & Never Was’s (1 Viewer)

[Scoresman]

Also, David Garrard.

David Dodd's perennial QB of choice in his perfect draft articles.

 

[Biabreakable]

Zac Stacy was useful to me in terms of some games I started him and things I traded him for.

It was a perfect storm of Jeff Fisher was going to give someone a lot of carries and all he had to beat out was I Peed.

Sure they drafted Gurley the following year but that was not really a surprise. He would use high picks on RB every year until he got a really good one.

 

[Zow]

Obviously drafted/held on to the following way more or longer than I should have:

CJ Spiller
Tyrone Calico
Isaiah Crowell
Zay Jones
Marcus Robinson

My OGs of guys I drafted before I even knew dynasty was a thing:

Napoleon Kaufman
Cam Cleeland

 

[BassNBrew]

Percy Freaking Harvin. Four promising years and then on to Seattle. Primed for a breakout. 1 reception for 17 yards. I think I drafted that guy every year and caught crap about it @Stinkin Ref

 

[Runkle]

Can't forget Knowshon Moreno and Kevan Barlow

I had Kevin Busto in redraft - I’ve blocked that memory until this very moment.

 

[BIRDGANG52]

Topic is too negative. I can't get to where I'm trying to go worrying about what should have happened.

 

[Monty Burns]

Took the "best" WR in '17 over Dalvin and Mixon.....Corey Davis

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

A little more recent - this morning Kadarius Toney hit the WW.
#RIP to what should have been a brilliant career & perfect landing spot.

 

[massraider]

Eric Shelton

Chris Henry--the RB.

 

[scothawk]

Kevin Jones and D'Shaun Foster killed me in many leagues

 

[zamboni]

Lamont Jordan

Sat behind Curtis Martin for years then got his big chance by the Raiders as a FA, had one good volume-infused year and then disappeared.

 

[zamboni]

Derrick Mason.

I dont know if he counts, but I was playing in a league that only gave yardage points for 99+ yards, and one year Mason had like 5 games where he had 97 or 98 yards. I hated him.

He had a very good career. Kevin Dyson alongside him is the one who flopped (outside of the Music City Miracle TD).

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kevin Jones and D'Shaun Foster killed me in many leagues

Foster single handedly lost me a league championship. Well, him, and my own actions, of course.

LCG: 49ers starter is OUT, Foster to get the start.

Foster does pretty well, IIRC. Dude I benched goes ham for 100+ and 2 TD.

 

[Raging weasel]

Some roster cloggers I plan on dropping this year
Isaiah Spiller
Hunter Renfrow
Darren Waller

Hoping to trade these guys instead of cutting
Deshaun Watson
Sky Moore
Rochon Johnson

I can't imagine anyone being willing to give up anything for Moore.

Looking at last year's results of my 10-team $250 cap auction, Moore went for $20.

I wonder if that's the same year (2004 I think?) where I sat Keenan McCardell for DeShaun Foster in the final. Foster did fine and got over 100 yards but McCardell went for like 120 and a TD and that was the difference in me winning the championship. I'll always remember that bad lineup decision as McCardell was money for me all year but Foster got me excited and I got cute in the final.

omg it was, and I ALSO sat Keenan for Foster, costing myself a LCG.

Aren’t we smart?

Yeah, should probably swap Moore and Renfrow's positions. Depending where/if he signs may get something out of it.

I cant even get a 3rd for Watson

Someone in my 12 team SF paid 2x 1sts and a 2nd for him right after he was traded.

IIRC I followed the FBG rankings which suggested Foster.

Sounds like that someone is a Browns employee

Superflex does terrible things to people’s brain. Just look at @Chaka

Crazy that Foster is now the head coach of UCLA. Really makes you feel old.

 

[Jayded]

Jimmy Clausen. Number one high school player in his class, had a really solid career at ND and finished his final year with a 28 TD/4 Int stat line with buzz to likely be a first round pick. Drops to the 2nd and has a standardly meh rookie year starting for Carolina. Following season they draft Cam Newton and Clausen largely never recovered and floated a few years before being gone from the NFL.

Ryan Grant. His nickname amongst fans in college at Notre Dame was "Blade" because a blade of grass could trip him up. He surprised all of us in becoming a pro, had 3 solid years to start his career, and then disappeared into anonymity.

Great thread. I got all the feels.

I thought that RB class of Richardson, Doug Martin, and David Wilson was going produce a couple HOFers.
Wilson was so fun to watch. He could take a hit, have his whole upper body get thrown around, but somehow still stay upright from the waste down an keep going. But it turns out that skill is not great for vertebrae health...

I was going to mention Wilson. He was awesome when he was on the field.

I was a regular on a different site during the rise and fall of David Wilson. It was an epic train wreck of posters proclaiming him as a Wallter Payton and Barry sanders hybrid. The screams from the mountain top were legendary. Ha ha

Isaiah Crowell

Man did Waldman love him

 

[Ilov80s]

Koren Robinson

Yep I was thinking of him. Had that big 1000 yard season in year 2 I think and just never ever came close to that again

Owned him for several years and was so frustrating to see Darrell Jackson as Matt Hasselback’s primary target every year.

 

[rockaction]

Chase Claypool?
Velus Jones
Kendre Miller ????? (OUCH)

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Doug Martin

I was all in on Doug Martin in 2015, and he helped me win a championship.

Then I reached for him on 2016 and Maaaaaan

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I feel like Ronald Jones almost needs his own topic.

 

[rockaction]

I changed that emoji after I thought about Ronald Jones for a minute. We’ll never forget your eighty-yard run (or so), Ronald. You’ll be evergreen to us.

Here's to you, "Money" Manziel

Pretty much all the 1-year wonder Denver backs could be listed here.

Also “Law Firm” BenJarvis Green-Ellis.

Yeah I kept him over Derrick Henry in 2016. Not fun.

More recently, Sony Michel.

Had a nice rookie year and a brief renaissance at the end with the Rams, but definitely disappointed based on his draft capital.

I held him for way too long. Then dropped him & he resurfaced with the Rams & someone picked up & beat me with him.

Emotional damage.
