Post-2000: RM's All-What was I thinking Team

[RedViper]

Wendall Bryant should be on this team. You can hardly waste a draft pick more spectacularly than we did on this loser.

 

[Snakester]

The last time I saw us with a great running game was with Ottis Anderson. When we drafted Garrison Hearst I thought he would almost carry the team by himself. I also really liked Thomas Jones but Buddy Ryan screwed that up.

After we lost Neil Lomax to his hip injury we drafted our new savior Tim Rosenbach. We would have our franchise QB

 

[kerouac9]

I was ALL-IN on LeVar Fisher.
Thomas Jones, RB.
David Boston (so mad when he left).

 

[Phrazbit]

My nipples got hard watching Flemming's college clips. Whoops.

Matty Ice, might not be a star but reminds me of a left handed Drew Brees!

I was all about the Beannie pick.

We won't miss Boldin, Early Doucet is a legit #2 receiver.

Well, remember this thread is based on the players that I stood on a soap box for, and was proven wrong.....very wrong in some cases.

Thus there are some players that may have been hyped by the Cardinals organization, but I just didn't buy into the hype.

Bryant had bust written all over him, IMO, so in that case I was right.

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!

I am right there with you on that one.

I thought that Wendell Bryant was going to come back around in his third season. He was semi-productive in the first handful of games his second year, and then he suffered a high ankle sprain. Turned out he was a total pothead.

I wanted Albert Haynesworth in that draft, but good golly that 2002 draft was pretty stinky. Julius Peppers and Ed Reed and then a whole lot of not much.

Yeah I loved Levar Fisher. IMO he would of been a good player if not for his injuries. Anyone else remember how his high school coach used to post on the board? He said that Fisher had some significant injuries while with the Cardinals.

How can Buddy Ryan screw up a pick that was made 5 years after he was fired?

Assuming he meant Garrison Hearst.

Mine is number one with a bullet... JOSH MCCOWN IS THE ANSWER.

 

[TJ]

Too many to list all. Notables:

Leinart
Kolb
McElroy
Freddie Jones
Brandon Keith
Stewart Bradley
Duane Starks
Dexter Jackson

 

[Cheesebeef]

oh yeah... Leinart is a super close #2. I thought he was going to be the next Joe Montana.

on second thought, maybe that makes him number 1.

Duane Starks was really a HUGE disappointment, his often injured body made Tommy Knight look like an iron man lol

Ya'll are crazy. When it comes to suckage, I have you all beat.

I was glad we took Levi Brown over AP. I figured even an average LT would outlast a good RB, since linemen tend to last so long.

I wasn't just glad at the time, I was glad years later.

I thought it was a good move for YEARS, even while AP was breaking records.

I thought it was good until BA said he sucked. Even after, I was like, he can be good, just give him a chance, it's only been 6 years. Lol

I loved Leinart.

Loved, loved David Boston.

I've become enamored with so many bad players it's not even funny.

Oops brainfart. Flip flop those two. Garrison Hearst if not for the injury his first year should have been a great RB for us. I just recall Buddy always being a jerk to the offense and praising his defense. We went from having a highly ranked offense to a last ranked offense in Buddy Ryan's first year. I wish Buddy would have just been the DC and we would have kept Joe Bugel as the head coach

Call me what you want, but Josh McCown is still drawing an NFL paycheck.

Honestly David Boston might be worse than any of them. He could have a great career. Instead he was the ultimate flash in the pan. Steroid loving head case freak, gave his career away for nothing. The others were just players we thought would be good, turns out they weren't. Not nearly as much of a sin, if at all.

 

[Jay Cardinal]

How about Leonard "Big" Davis at #2 overall? I remember people describing him as the most physical lineman ever out of college.

 

[TigToad]

Daryl Blackstock. What a disappointment

I was so excited for him. Oh well.

Leonard was a really good lineman....except he wasn't a tackle, he was a guard. the Cowboys figured that out when they signed him, and then he subsequently went to the pro bowl.

 

[Phrazbit]

Recalling Leinart from college I still don't get how things went so horribly wrong. He had some nice games early too.

I know physically his arm, which was never a cannon, became a real limp noodle after the shoulder injury and collar bone snap but mentally he seemed to check out long before that.

I believe he set a rookie yardage record against the Vikings. Definitely looked very promising his rookie year.

While I agree Big was a better guard than a tackle, a Dallas Cowboy in the pro bowl may be one of the softest accolades in the NFL. Levi Brown could make the pro bowl if he played for the Cowboys, jmho.

To this day I cannot help but wonder what might have been.

I wanted Whiz to give him the keys after Warner retired and just say ok let's see what you can do.

I know there was a ton of stuff going on and ML was a jerk, but I just wanted to see that play out, and I didn't get to. Not mad at Whiz for it, just disappointed, because plan B, and C, and D, e, fffffff didn't work out any better.
