I know I’m not responding to the spirit of the question being asked. He thought Mitch Trubisky was a lot better than Mahomes, who Pace didn't even consider drafting.

Great SS, but his problem was hitting as hard as he could on every opportunity, like he was a member of the show "Jackass". Injuries was the result.

Leoric Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 For my team Shawne Merriman… man… At one point he was making the whole league questing why Demarcus Ware got selected first. An injury, and Tila Tequila later, our franchise pass rusher was gone. In the whole league the first name that pops in my brain is Jahvid Best. Just so electric in college and then the head trauma cut his NFL off before it ever even flashed my expectations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so good with still so much room to grow. Who knew when he broke his leg in week 16 of his second season, that would end up being the peak of his NFL career. 😢 I feel that. My little brother was a MASSIVE Mariota fan, and this was before we had even SNIFFED living in Tennessee. The Titans were the most random team in the NFL and my little brother was a huge fan. I remember that crazy running play in his rookie season, and then just how crazy good he was in the red zone. He, Derek Carr, and Matt Ryan inexplicably owned the NFL that season. But yeah, he had the leg injury, and then the elbow and nerve damage to his throwing arm. Constant injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucsDraftGeek47 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) ppl forget just how good of a rookie season Michael Clayton had for us - 80 catches 1193 yards leading all rookie WRs in 2004 only to never be seen again Cadillac... oh Cadillac Williams, what could have been if it weren't for injuries and Gruden running him into the ground Edited July 14, 2023 by BucsDraftGeek47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he could run by yah, too. Nick Collins: Coming on as THE safety in the league to fear. Freakish neck injury took him out on a really goofy play. Cut down right as he was entering his prime. Terrence Murphy. The first of the second round WR's drafted by Ted Thompson. High hopes for him. Neck injury early in his rookie season took his career. Jonathan Franklin. The "other" RB that GB picked in 2013. (Lacy) Franklin was looking very, very good and then the knee went and the career was done. I'll add Javon Walker and Jermichael Finley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker did have the injury that took a lot from him, but since he left GB and still had a 1,000 yard season, I didn't include him. Can't blame you for doing so, though. Kid was coming into his own when that knee shredded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's the knee that ended a promising career prematurely, I think it was his teammate and friend getting murdered in cold blood right in front of him and having him die in his arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetjuice Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 On 7/12/2023 at 7:40 AM, vegas492 said: Packers. Thought of another one. Jermichael Finley, TE. Ripped up his knee badly just as he was entering his Prime. He was a matchup nightmare. Very tall, very quick and very good hands. Also, kind of a moron. But, that knee shredded. He played for a year or two afterwards, but never had the same quickness or explosion. Career was done. He came back from the knee, it was the neck injury that did him in just like Franklin. Damn, Packers have bad luck with neck injuries now that I see it all laid out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetjuice Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 For the Jets I know he left us before his career ended but Dustin Keller was fun to watch. Left for Miami and blew his knee out in the preseason and that was it for him. At least he made it to his second contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
