Who Will Disappoint?

[MJZiggy]

Can you be disappointed in someone you didn't expect anything out of anyways?

As tough as it is for me to admit I think Al Harris is the biggest liability to disappoint this year. I'm hoping his falloff last year was due to playing though more injuries than he's ever had to do before. Wouldn't be surprised if he's dropped in the depth chart before the end of the season.

I've got a funny feeling with all the youth and depth that someone is going to permanently lose a starting spot to a backup who plays like a superstar... just can't decide who yet

I think Atari Bigby becomes an absolute monster.

ahhh, hope springs eternal! The first scrimmage of the season, and this is the thread we get from the "Yes We Can" youth!?

Re: Who Will Disappoint?

Defining disappoint as not meeting the expectations you personally have for them.

If you expect someone to not meet your expectations, then aren't your expectations actually lower and therefore they are meeting them?

Rouse. I believe Collins is more firmly entrenched as a starter than most people think. Collins may not get the turnovers, but he's extremely athletic. He doesn't get torched and he does a hell of a job in open space.

AJ Hawk - but let me explain!!

I think he will be a good, solid player. But I expected him to be great. A game changer. The type of player others are compared to. I don't think he's going to be that type of player, and that will be a bit disappointing.

I've got two.

The first is Blackmon. A lot of people are expecting big things out of him, but I think the most we'll get is a good returner. Reports are already saying TWill is the 3rd CB, a position that was his to lose.

The second is not going to be so popular. Grant. I think the amount of camp he's missed, and there's going to be a bit of flashinthepanitis, and a softmore slump to content with.

I think he'll be as good as the coaches allow him. I think he'll be a good player, but if he's asked to cover TEs a lot again, most people will think he's disappointing. He's not Patrick Willis, but he's a good starter who I think could be a Pro Bowl player if the coaches let him loose.

I hate this thread.


Unfortunately, I'll pick Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers (depending on who starts) and Al Harris.

Favre, Harrell
