- RGIII was going to be the savior of Washington and that lasted about a season....he became a broken and injury prone mess after that is now a backup for Baltimore.
- Andrew Luck was going to be the heir apparent to Peyton Manning...and he ended up being solid/pretty good, but never turned the corner to become great, largely due to injuries, and is now retired.
- To build off of that, RGIII and Luck were considered the two top QB prospects in that class, yet somehow Russell Wilson is the only one of that QB class to have a Super Bowl ring (and is one dumb play away from having two).
- Michael Vick is the most athletically gifted QB ever and sure to be a legend...and ultimately he ended up with only two playoff wins to his name and probably being more famous for the dog fighting scandal than anything else. He had some stellar performances, sure, but I'd view him more as a flash in the plan than a legend.
- Vince Young is "In-Vince-able" and the future....ultimately proved he wasn't mentally fit to fill the spot and amounted to nothing.
- Chip Kelly's Offense for the Eagles was "too fast" and nobody would be able to defend it. They were "The Dream Team"...which lasted for all of maybe 2-3 weeks when all the other teams had enough footage on the offense and could predict the play calling.
- Matt Flynn, Green Bay's back up for A-Rod, turned a six touchdown game into a HUGE contract with Seattle and there was thought that he was a star in the making...he ended up going back to Green Bay as a backup and you never heard of him doing anything of note.
- They constantly tell me Odell Beckham is one of the best receivers in the league and while he might have mad skills, he is also a mental midget that gets into fights with kicking nets and generally acts like a moron on and off the field. Plain and simple, he is famous for one circus catch in a game that the Giants lost, and that's it. I saw him play one playoff game and with the amount of drops he had in that game, he clearly wasn't ready for primetime. Its annoying to me that he gets hyped up as one of the stars of the game and has had virtually no success to warrant such accolades. At the very least, I can say he hasn't proven himself to be a game changer for my team or even the current team he's on (more on that in a minute).
- Tony Romo was the new god of Dallas. I remember Troy Aikman or Joe Buck saying something like "The Legend of Tony Romo continues to grow!" after only his 4th or 5th start...then we got the famous fuck up in Seattle, and that pretty much defined Romo's career. Great stats, can make some plays, but also arguably the most spectacular choke artist to play the game. NFL.com even wrote an article listing his top ten most heart breaking losses. THEY HAD TO NARROW IT DOWN TO 10!
Tony Romo's 10 Most Heartbreaking Losses. The game against Denver is basically Tony Romo's entire career in a nutshell. In the end, Romo only has two playoff victories under his belt.
- Oh and the 2019 Browns was going to be the ultimate zero to heroes story. With the pick ups they made, they were going to be a juggernaut in the AFC and be among the top tier of the conference. Oh wait, they are 1-2 (their one winning coming against the winless Jets using a third string quarterback) and they are the most heavily penalized team in the league. Oops.
