Sauce Castillo Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Ryan Fitzpatrick has had a very up and down career. Seems to be pretty good in spurts but not good enough to commit long term to. Feels like one of the best Journeyman QBs we've seen. LaRon Landry....seemed to full of potential. His arms became bigger than his career 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 David Boston is a good one. Through 3 years he was on pace to be an all time great. Then he just decided he wanted to be Hulk Hogan instead of a WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His punt return against Pitt when osu only put like 8 men on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arms became bigger than his career LOL, yeah, those arms are nuts. There are two factors at play with Landry- Sean Taylor and injuries Sean Taylor's death really hurt him from the perspective that the Redskins had invested high draft capital in both safeties and they moved Landry to FS after Taylor was murdered and he stayed there through 2009. Jim Haslett, under Mike Shanahan, moved him back to strong safety in 2010 and he was playing at a high level- certainly going to get a Pro Bowl nod and Shanahan even said potentially DPOY- until he tore his Achilles. He refused to get surgery which ultimately cost him. In 2011, he would struggle with lower body injuries, likely because he was trying to overcompensate for the Achilles- he was receiving injections instead. Those injuries were a hamstring which cut his pre-season short and started his season late, as well as a groin injury. He was advised near the end of the year to get surgery, and did an experimental treatment instead. The parting with the Redskins was mutual, he had a great season with the Jets and parlayed that into a nice contract with the Colts. Then he had PED suspensions, likely for his love of working out, but I also feel it was all of the work trying to avoid the Achilles surgery.

naptownskinsfan Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 For me, Clinton Portis, if he hadn't been picked up by the Redskins and put into the wrong offensive system, could've been a HOF'er. He averaged 5.5 YPC each year in Denver. Joe Gibbs turned him into John Riggins 2.0 and turned him into a between-the-tackles runner. Portis would never finish with a higher YPC with the Redskins than 4.3. Another one is LaVar Arrington. Lots of fond memories of him by Redskins fans, but two of the NFL's greatest defensive minds hated having to coach him. If he listened to coaching, his career might've been a different story. Also, can't forget the Deion Sanders/Marty Schottenheimer beef as a strange time for Prime Time's career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Vikings[edit] Underwood was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round (29th overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft, after his stock rose with his pre-draft workouts. On August 1, he signed a five-year, $5.3 million contract with a $1.7 million bonus. He walked out of training camp the next day on August 2, after the first practice and never returned. On August 13, he was waived and forfeited a $1.75 million bonus saying he could not resolve the conflict between playing football and serving his Christian faith.[2] Although he eventually returned, he was released later that month and had to give back his signing bonus to the Vikings. Miami Dolphins[edit] On August 16, 1999, Underwood was claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins as 23 teams passed on him. He was signed for $395,000, played in only one preseason game before injuring his shoulder and also showing a lack of focus on football. Multiple times during team meetings, Underwood was found not taking notes, but instead writing about the apocalypse. He only played in the last preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, suffering a dislocated left shoulder.[3] Although he made the team, he was deactivated for the first 2 games because of his injury. In September, Underwood was arrested by police for failure to pay child support for his 17-month-old twins. Following the team's bye week, he was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list on September 28. Underwood later spent two months in protective care and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After he escaped from a psychiatric care facility, he was released by the Dolphins on December 17.[4] Dallas Cowboys[edit] On March 10, 2000, he signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys, who took a chance on him because of the earlier success the team had with Alonzo Spellman who also suffered from bipolar disorder............................................................................................................................ In January 2001, he tried to kill himself for the second time by running into traffic twice on a busy suburban highway.[6] During the season he appeared in 4 games, making 3 tackles, 2 quarterback pressures and one pass defensed. He was released in October after he missed practices and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. This looks like a freakin mad lib of a career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
