OldTimer1960 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I saw the hat Nick Foles was released today and I took a gander at his career stats as I remember he had a pretty good year not too long ago. I was recalling his 2nd year when he threw an amazing 27 TDs and 2 INTS. For the other 3 years of his career combined he has 26 TDs and 27 INTS! Caution be to those bestowing greatness after 1 good year. Who else were super one year wonders?

Ugh. What might have been with a good coaching/get in the QB head team? Or been avoided with a good psych team.

BarleyNY Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Josh Gordon 2013: 14 games played, 87 receptions, 1,646 yards, including (30) 20+yard catches and (9) 40+ yard catches and 9 TDs. He was the NFL's #1 WR that year. All that on the Browns with hot garbage at QB. Edited July 28, 2016 by BarleyNY

Talley56 Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 I seem to remember a couple of years ago Brian Hoyer was a half-year wonder. He actually had the Browns playing some descent football for the first half of a season until they remembered they were the Browns and completely fell apart the rest of the year. Hoyer followed, falling apart himself, and it showed when he played horribly in the playoff game with the Texans last year.
BarleyNY Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 I was going to be a Hall of Famer but I got high, but I got high. Yup. I seem to remember a couple of years ago Brian Hoyer was a half-year wonder. He actually had the Browns playing some descent football for the first half of a season until they remembered they were the Browns and completely fell apart the rest of the year. Hoyer followed, falling apart himself, and it showed when he played horribly in the playoff game with the Texans last year. He did. Derek Anderson had a statistically stellar 9 games for the Browns too. He was Baltimore's backup QB prior to that season and had been brought in for depth. Charlie Frye blew chunks week 1, got released and Anderson took over and rolled from weeks 2-10 throwing to Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow Jr. Cleveland was winning and fans were talking playoffs. Then defenses adjusted and it all came crashing down. Anderson has sucked ever since.
aristocrat Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 matt flynn is a one game wonder. parlayed that into about 20 million bucks...that's insane.
Nanker Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Matt Cassel. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CassMa00.htm Actually had three decent years, but he's been craptastic for most of his career including his one game as starter here.
BarleyNY Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 matt flynn is a one game wonder. parlayed that into about 20 million bucks...that's insane. Oh! That's right! He was on Green Bay and lit up the Lions for some insane yardage, then got a huge deal from Seattle and got beat out by Russell Wilson in preseason. Never did anything after that. Good call.
hondo in seattle Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Terry Miller. Gained over 1,000 yards in his rookie season as a Bill at 4.5 yards per pop. He seemed poised to be the next great Bills running back. Bills fans were yelling, "It's Miller Time!" Then, as I recall, he developed problems with his peripheral vision and his career faded away to nothing.
