I thought it would be interesting to have a thread where we just poo all over ourselves for times when we DRASTICALLY overrated a player that ended up flopping tremendously.

To get things kicked off...

I was all over that David Gettis train. I mean I rode in every cabin, held jobs as the conductor and engineer,....heck I even sang show tunes from the caboose when the train entered town.

Injuries took promise away, but I felt like the kid was pro bowl material...only to get cut from us and then cut again by other teams. Even sparring injury, there is no way he could have lived up to the hype I had created in my head.

 

There that felt good. Who is next?

-really, really believed in matt moore

-had similarly high hopes for clausen

-was hyped for david carr and thought he just needed to spend a few years on the bench and he'd take over when delhomme hung it up

-was on the "lol scammy scam laptop his dad tried to hock the BCS trophy can't run an NFL offense" train until cam's public workout

-wasn't a fan of the kuechly selection

-i was really intrigued by tank tyler and thought he'd develop into a great player for us.  also louis leonard and some of those other scrubby DTs we had at the tail end of the fox era

-bdjs (if you don't know what that means you need to learn the lore) until week 1 2009 when we reached the final frontier and it was obvious he was done

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      How in the world are folks not getting open because of Bryce when he was sacked for what was then the 2nd most times a rookie QB had been sacked (until Caleb Williams)? He got sacked 50+ times behind a 6th and 7th string guard duo. Dalton played one good game against the RAIDERS? The same Andy Dalton that people are ready to take out behind the barn and put down so that they can have a UDFA QB in the room that won't be on a roster next season? I get that Aidan O'Connell is some Huddlers' favorite QB, but Jesus... Again: What is the acceptable floor for a rookie QB with 6th & 7th string starting guards, a group of weapons where the only player getting open is 33yrs old, and the coaching staff switched the offense up three times in their first year? Why is it that I keep getting excuses instead of numbers in response to that?

      Stanford probably should've won that game, all things considered. Not a great look for Reich.

      Frank Reich had 3 timeouts and got the ball back with just over 2min left and the game tied at 20. On 2nd and 7, he calls back-to-back passing plays instead of a screen or a run to wind down the clock. They punted to Hawai'i who was sitting on two timeouts. Reich sat on all 3 timeouts once Hawai'i got into field goal range which allowed them to kill clock and kick the game winning FG. This was the offensive guru that switched the offense on a rookie QB twice. 🙃   I'm gonna need some of the "no excuses" crowd to keep that energy for themselves this season if Bryce keeps looking like he did post benching.
