Eric Shelton

Chris Henry--the RB.

Seeing Eric Shelton just reminded me of how high I was on Michael Bush, from Louisville at right around the same time.

Michael Bush was on so many of my teams. Henry also, his unique upright running style didn't translate at all

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Eddie Lacy, anyone?

Didn't M bush have a good camp (Raiders?) then disappear?

It was the hype. 3 tds in the first game of the college season.

Drop SZN bump.

Dozens of emails from my leagues - they all just drafted and are cutting down players left and right.

Linebackers expected to be elite who are now applying for jobs at Walmart.

Wide receivers who were always too short and too slow, but we wanted them to be the next Wes Welker.

Quarterbacks who can’t even be trusted to hold a clipboard on the sideline.

Time once again to pour one out for the also rans, the might have been and the never was’s.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

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.

Many years ago I lost a league championship by 1.2 points when he caught a long touchdown as a Raven in the fourth quarter of the last game of the week. He hadn't scored since he was with the Titans.
I won that that league the next two years, and I don't remember a single player on either of those teams. I don't even remember any players on my losing team. But I can still see Mason catching that touchdown. It's weird how memory works.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

Hi, my name is Neil and I did not have Joshua Kelley on any teams last year. I'm proud of myself, but I'm just taking it one season at a time.

 

[JohnnyU]

I always get a little nostalgic at this time of year. Thinking back to all the players that I've owned over the years. From superstars to ultra superstars like C-Mike

You dropped Christine Michael???

Definitely seems like a Michael type of thread

 

[fatness]

Trent Richardson

The "rolling ball of butcher knives" turned out to be a rolling ball of spoons.

I often wondered about the marbles rolling around between his ears.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Zach Zenner

 

[SDJohnny]

Karlos Williams-my first devy pick. Ate himself out of the league.
Treylon Burks.

 

[zamboni]

Thought I hit gold with Tre Mason in his rookie year as the Rams RB of the future, only to see them draft Todd Gurley the next year.

 

[menobrown]

Rob Housler

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Zach Zenner

/thread


Alphabetically at least.

 

[zamboni]

J.R. Redmond

 

[zamboni]

LaDarius Green - still banking on him taking over for Antonio Gates

 

[FarFromHome]

4 year stretch where my last pick of each draft was Josh Gordon. Just couldn't let him go. Id waive him on first round of cuts. Here's to you Josh and that amazing stretch u had.

One more year of crossing my fingers. Still a chance.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

IIRC, Julius Jones had like 3 200 yard games late in his rookie year. I thought we found a Jem.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Prediction: This will get renamed "The Cam Skattebo Memorial Thread" in a couple of years.

He was on fire for several weeks. Had one hell of a Thanksgiving Game.

I was content at the end of last season that I was finally going to be able to cut Javonte Williams before this season with a clear conscience, and rid myself of years of frustration.

Then he signs with Dallas, has a potential path to team RB1 carries, and now...I just can't bring myself to do it. I hate this game.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Wonder what happened to Corey Coleman. I predicted big things for that kid. My boss took him and I still get to hear about it.

One day. Keep hope alive, brother.

The closest analogy to this topic is the Oscar’s “in memoriam” feature.

Dynasty busts or roster cloggers finally gone, but not forgotten.

In 2 leagues I’m finally ready to let AJ Dillon, AKA “Quadzilla” go. Great nickname. Terrible football player.

We may need a new category for “the perennial tease”.

Reasonably sure you’ll be right back here next year with this same name.

My therapist loves it.

Easy money, steady work. I get it.

Dynasty busts or roster cloggers finally gone, but not forgotten.

I finally dumped Diontae Johnson in SF.

Others cut recently - Jake bobo, Brandin cooks, Dameon Pierce, Luke schoonmaker, Drew lock and Kendrick borne

 

[efactor]

William Green anyone?

Grabbed him in the 3rd round in 2003 and thought I got a steal. A bad combination of being injured and sucking. Worst pick ever

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

William Green anyone?

You need to post a trigger warning if you’re gonna go there.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I finally dumped Diontae Johnson in SF.

I came very close to dealing for him at least 4x over 3 leagues. I talked myself out of it every time. Whew.

 

[zamboni]

Trung Canidate was supposed to be the (at the time) Redskins’ workhorse one year, until opening night TNF in week one when Ladell Betts carried the load and pushed Canidate aside.

 

[zamboni]

Amos Zereoue

 

[JoeJoe88]

Kenneth Dixon, anyone? Guy burned me bad.

Still convinced he would’ve been a good player but injuries and stupid decisions ruined him.

 

[TheWinz]

I remember fighting everyone in here because I was so sure Peyton Barber was a stud.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Eric Shelton

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I thought we found a Jem.

and the holograms?

 

[zamboni]

I remember fighting everyone in here because I was so sure Peyton Barber was a stud.

At first I read it as Peyton Hillis, who actually was a stud for one year and somehow made the Madden cover after his big year.

 

[pinkstapler]

David Wilson. I truly believe he was going to be a potential HoF RB if it wasn't for the spine injury.

 

[zamboni]

Kevin Johnson had a very good rookie year alongside Tim Couch and then disappeared. Both could probably fall into this discussion group.

 

[zamboni]

David Wilson. I truly believe he was going to be a potential HoF RB if it wasn't for the spine injury.

The only other Wilson to have a worse career is the volleyball in Castaway.

 

[wgoldsph]

Tavon Austin. Thought I was so smart taking him 3rd in my ppr pp1st down league. Perfect chain moving Walker type.

Yup.

 

[pinkstapler]

David Wilson. I truly believe he was going to be a potential HoF RB if it wasn't for the spine injury.

I'm both laughing and crying at this.

How many people, other than HSG, are still holding onto Rashod Bateman?

The Ravens are.

 

[Gatorade]

How many people, other than HSG, are still holding onto Rashod Bateman?

The Ravens are.

I Just traded for him, giving up 5.16 and 6.16 rookie draft picks. He is currently my WR2.

 

[Gatorade]

Last year I gave Kyle Pitts a three year contract extension because I knew it would be his year.

Kevin White and Tatum Bell.
