Art_Vandalay Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I didn't review the whole thread to see if Chad Johnson was mentioned but he definitely belongs here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are putting a Bengals WR here, I think the correct answer is AJ Green. He was a monster for 5-6 years, even tho handcuffed by Andy Dalton. But the first time he got really hurt, the wheels just fell off immediately. Chad had more staying power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboRocket Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 What about Shaq Leonard? Defensive rookie of the year, 4 straight All-Pros to start his career? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkeyDoke21 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Has Cam Newton been mentioned? Started off on fire as OROY, passing yardage pace and the rushing TDs/yards. Wins an MVP and goes to the Superbowl at 26, then the not diving on the fumble storyline happens and the guy was scraping for jobs by 30 and out of the league at 32.

I was just trying to talk about the HoF start, point of inflection, and where the significant drop off ended up. The career was on a tremendous pace and at a great peak prior to that moment, and never recovered momentum after. I wasn't meaning to imply it was the cause, just a point in time that encapsulates the shift. Absolute yadda-yadda though.

Meh, I wouldn’t really say Chad fell off, he just aged a couple years earlier than some other guys. He had one of his most productive seasons at age 29/30, IIRC.

Apparition Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Mike Quick in his 2nd through 6th seasons had per-game averages on par with or better than guys like T.O. and Julio Jones during the same periods in their careers, while playing in a much less pass-friendly league. Then he broke his leg in 1988 and was never the same after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know how to view him, but I can remember thinking he was right at the time he put on that jacket and now think there is no chance. He probably qualifies, to a certain degree for this, but wasn't the bottle rocket type guy a lot of these names are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the hyped, highly pimped out players the NFL and Sports media outlets use to make money. Hence why I said... Or was he just not the flashy celebrated Sports Center highlighted WR's from those years like 16' OBJ, AB, Fitz players with less yds/TD that season then Evans? 18' Ran into Tyreek, DHop and Julio having career seasons? I mean Evans had 50 more yards than AB while playing an entire additional game. Julio Jones made Matt Ryan the MVP. Mike Evans was rightfully AP2. IIRC it was you who felt Ben Roethlisberger shouldn't be a HOFer. Evans has a WR equivalent resume to Ben in that he was never in the elite tier, just below (and for so long). If you don't think Ben is a HOFer, than how can you think Evans is. If it wasn't you who felt that way, then sorry for the confusion.

I'd be in agreement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
