In a general grouping: Rashard Anderson, Bruce Nelson, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett, Jason Peter (could've had hometown Vinnie Holliday...), Ellison, all of 2009, Mitch Marrow.

I actually completely forgot about Anderson until I started browsing this list. Man, he was a whiff. I remember being excited about him too.

1. Rae Carruth - No explanation needed
2. Jimmy Clausen - One of the most overhyped prospects I've ever seen
3. Rashard Anderson - Literally spent 1 season in the league and then washed out of the CFL 4yrs later
4. Greg Little - I am so thankful that nobody fleeced Hurney when he tried to trade up for him. Also, look at who else was on the board!
5. Rashaan Gaulden - No athleticism, just double birds to the Bama fans

Dishonourable Mention: Everette Brown, Sione Fua

I wouldn't say Otah was a bust, he was steamrolling fools.

Otah suffered from what many of our draft picks suffer from; being high potential and impact players initially but sizzling out quickly (even more so after being paid)

Otah, KB, Turner, and Short are all names that come to mind recently who were standouts that just seemed to suddenly croak.

It also seems like anyone who doesn't stay with the team doesn't necessarily die, but doesn't find quite the level of success they seemed to have had. Norman, Bradbury, Star, and Butler are examples of this.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
