Malik Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 What are some of the greatest individual seasons you remember from players that are almost forgotten because they occurred during an even better season? The biggest one that sticks out in my mind is when Ahman Green's 2003 season where he had 1883 yards, 18 rushing touchdowns at 5.3ypc + 50 receptions for 367 yards and 5 TDs. Problem was that it came during the same season Jamal Lewis rushed for 2000 yards and Priest Holmes rushed for 27 touchdowns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightspiral7 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Montana was terrific in 1984, but he got overshadowed by Marino's unreal 1984. Of course, when it all mattered in the SB, Joe would show the world who the better of the two was.

minutemancl Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Shaun Alexander won MVP in 2005. Here were his stats: 370 rushes, 1880 rushing yards, 27 rushing touchdowns, 15 catches, 78 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown Here is Tiki Barber's 2005 season: 357 rushes, 1860 rushing yards, 9 rushing touchdowns, 54 catches, 530 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns Alexander destroyed him in total touchdowns, but Tiki's 2390 total scrimmage yards in 2005 is the 4th best total all time. Christian McCaffrey beat him by just 2 yards (2392) in 2019. Tiki actually had 3 consecutive 2000 scrimmage yard seasons from 2004-2006, his age 29, 30, and 31 seasons, then he retired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Tom Brady and Brees in 2011 are two of the best QB seasons ever, overshadowed by Rodgers 2011 which imo is the best QB season in history. 45-6 TD-INT Ratio with a combined 9.2 YPA, basically unheard of. Plus a 15-1 record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soggust Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I will never forgive JJ Watt for ruining Justin Houston's DPOY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green reminds me of how big a disappointment the Packers never getting to a Super Bowl from 00-04 was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Smithers Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Take a look at the 2011 season for QBs. Rodgers won MVP, and deservedly so, but Brees and Brady had elite seasons too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana went buck wild in the 2nd quarter, game over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that year there had been only 2 5000 yards ever, then three in on year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iknowcool Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I wouldn't say it was "overshadowed," but still crazy that as good and dominant as Revis was in 2009, it was another CB that won DPOY (Woodson). Another good one is Ed Reed in 2010. Polamalu rightfully won DPOY, but in 10 games Reed recorded 8 INTs (led league) and 183 return yards (led league). 2008 had a LOT of great defensive performances that could have won DPOY in any given year. Harrison, Ware, Reed, Polamalu, Haynesworth... all were absolute animals that year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) What comes to mind for me immediately is Daunte Culpepper's 2004 season. He probably wins First Team All-Pro if it wasn't for Peyton Manning's monster year. The Vikings going 8-8 didn't help matters either. James Wilder had a great season in 1984 just coming up short in YRS behind Eric Dickerson (which is an entirely nutty story in itself).
