DankNuggs 305 Posted April 12, 2010 Who had the most notorious/greatest and quickest dissapearance from fantasy football? We'll keep it the relatively current era...say lates 80's to current. I'll toss out some names to get things going: Cleveland Gary, Rams: Was a consensus top 5 pick around the turn of the decade in 1990, scored 15 TDs, disapeared into thin air. Neal Anderson, Bears: a 12 TD scorer, top 5 pick....gone in a couple years Barry Foster, Pit. Maybe a 3 year stretch...poof, away he goes Lorenzo White, Oilers: When run n' shoot went poof, white went poop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

throttlers 0 Posted April 12, 2010 Icky Woods - Although the Icky shuffle was kind of cool. Tommy Maddox - I guess anyone looked good after Kordell Stewart. David Tyree - 1 great catch. The Arizona Cardinals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cara 0 Posted April 12, 2010 michael clayton... cadillac williams... koren robinson... and the winner: drew bennett! Drew Bennett should have to be the Rams Waterboy for the rest of his life. That still wouldn't make up for the a$$ raping we took by signing him as a free agent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corky76 2 Posted April 12, 2010 Starting in the late 80's then.... Timmy Smith - Had one hell of a Super Bowl. If I'd played ff back then he'd of likely been a definite first rd. bust the next season! Someone else mentioned Neal Anderson - As a Bears fan I'd go with the A-train though. Forte may be next in line there How 'bout the infamous Michael Jackson? My first year of ff he was coming off a 1200/14TD year and then "poof" Olandis Gary Mike Anderson Quentin Griffin I see some sort of pattern here......

throttlers 0 Posted April 13, 2010 I think there may be more Kordell Stewart references in this thread than he had productive drives in his NFL career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara 0 Posted April 13, 2010 Alvin Harper -- When he signed with Tampa, he was projected to be a star. Jamal Anderson -- Remember when he had a great season, then tore up his knee(s) in consecutive seasons? JJ Stokes -- Never was anything, however, was taken at the top of nearly every rookie draft. Barry Word -- Haven't heard his name in a LOOOOONG time. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- I remember him being drafted in the second round and royally ticking people off. Jeff Blake -- I can still recall him being one of the top QB's off the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the bosses 0 Posted April 14, 2010 Banks was never good? He was a promising rookie in StL i remember, but did he ever put up numbers? His 'one hit' was a three game stretch in '99 where he threw for 900 yards and had 10 tds. He was on my first FF team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
