It makes it so easy to see why my fav coach of all time, GA, always tried to trade his picks for experienced older players he already knew could play. He said many times he would always take any already proven player over any hyped rookie. He would have been fun to play for. His players seemed to really love him. He could squeeze a couple more good years out of most of the old players he loved coaching.

All this talk about picking player A or hating player A had me wondering about all the times we were wrong...
List all the players you were hyped about coming out of college who never panned out

My list:
#1 was Leinart - I actually jumped up when the Cardinals got him and said, "Finally the Cardinals have a QB!"....yea I was way off

#2 Wadsworth - thought we had the second coming of Reggie White ...nope injuries derailed him

#3 Thomas Jones - well he had a great career ....but not with the Cards

#4 Chance Warmack - man I beat the drum wanting this guy....yea glad he wasn't the pick...only good thing about getting Cooper was he eventually was traded to get Chandler Jones.

now it your turn...think about players the Cards got and players you wanted and other teams got em' and it didn't pan out...
Just curious, are you a cardinals fan or chargers? Obviously i'm confused because of your avatar & saying "we" or "us on this board.
