It's hard to recall very many players that looked like shite at first but then figured it out. I was debating with my dad about this the other day. The older I get and the more football I watch, the more I think you can pretty much tell right away and it seems to always be the case.

ETA: I don't think Peat looks as bad as some think fwiw, but the above is still how I feel in general.

It happens, they just usually are not 1st round picks so they do not get the attention. Had Peat been drafted in the 4th or later, most of these posters would be cautiously optimistic about his potential over the next 1-2 years. But, since he was a 1st rounder, everyone expects him to be All-Pro on the 1st day.

Drew Brees, LinkPeyton Manning LINKJimmy Graham LINK, Zach Strief, Delvin Breaux (couldn't make a team), Brett Favre LINK, Joe Horn LINK
So how did you feel about those guys in their first season or in some cases first three or four seasons.
It's not as bad as it seems, it never is. Remember the last #1 we all slammed every day on here, LINK
