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.


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


Ok Jim horn is the only one that qualifies as someone that looked like shite at some point. Breaux has extending circumstances that led to his path.

Are you kidding?



Jimmy hardly played, a development player his first year. Drew all but lost his job (remember they had the #1 overall pick and they chose a QB). Peyton was horrible. Zach was a back up until his 7th year (correct me if I am wrong). Favre was traded and sucked until his fourth year. Read the links my man... There are tons more these were just a couple of Saints players and Hall of Famer's off the top of my head. This is very much a development league, you draft potential as well as ready to play players.
