title says it all, who do did you have expectations for that never reached those expectations?

for me its Drew Carter...it seemed like he had the rare combination of size and speed that doesn't come around much in the NFL...every year i thought was going to be his break out year, but he seemed to consistently regress

Eric Shelton is a close second, although he never really showed any signs of potential, coming out of Louisville, he seemed to be our power back of the future

just thought we could use a distraction from nick names and playoff seedings!

Dan Morgan

Guy was the ultimate career tease, he could have been a GREAT player, a top 3 MLB. He set a super bowl record for most tackles in a game. But alas, he would get injured every season, and will soon be forgotten even though I believe he could have had a HOF career.

sucks

No Kerry Collins was a douche.

I had high hopes for Drew Carter, like everyone it always seemed like he was about to break out.

Deshaun Foster, everyone gives the dude such a hard time, but he was a true team player, he did everything asked of him, never complained and mentored Deangelo no questions asked. After 03 I really thought he had something. I thought him and D.Will were gonna be what D.Will and Stewart are now back then.

and as much as it pains me to say this, David Carr, I still knew Jake was the man here, but I wanted him to succeed after being wrecked in Huston, but obviously that was not the case, dude just flat out sucked.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
