Best one year wonder?

Damn I went through 4 pages and looks like I finally found someone that beat me to the Rob Johnson punch.

So, I'll add Scott Mitchell, who started 7 games in replacement of Marino in 93 and parlayed that into a nice free agent contract.

Rick Mirer - QB Seattle.  In the running for rookie of the year and then just kept getting worse.  Still hard to believe the Bears traded a 1st round pick for that guy.

Greg Cook - QB with Bengals.  Great rookie season but shoulder injury ended his career.  Could have been a great one with a young Bill Walsh.

Sidney Rice - WR Vikings.  Had a great season with Brett Favre but did nothing before or after.

Cadillac Williams - RB Bucs.  I remember him running all over the Bills 1 game.

Steve Slaton - RB Texans - Fantasy steal for me in his 1 good year.

CJ Spiller has to be up there...dude was literally unstoppable for a season and averaged 6 YPC and had almost 1700 yards from scrimmage, then never recaptured it.

 

These highlights are just mesmerizing...his speed is unbelievable at times...literally looks like Barry Sanders with some of the starts and stops...

 

Gailey might not have been much of a head coach but his ability to get players in space and his screen game were just something special to behold..

 

 

Loved watching that highlight video. His 2012 season was insane. I remember after the season everyone was saying if he can keep that going the Bills offense really would be set even if it was just an average QB. It was too bad injuries kinda took out his career there he was always a good dude.

 

That 2012 season was so strange for the Bills. The hype going into the year was that they would finally get back into the playoffs given the addition of Mario and the schedule. I think Jerry Sullivan who is the ultimate of negative for the Bills even predicted them making it in. They ended up getting blown out week 1 by the Jets and week 5 by the 49ers who were at their height of their powers, yet had they not lost close games to the Rams, Dolphins, & TItans who were under .500 and won just one of the Colts & Texans they would've made it. I liked Chan but he seemed spent and beyond able to fix things by the end of that season.

Gailey was pretty open about wanting a "water bug" for his offense.  He had a vision and knew exactly how to use him.

 

I, like Gailey, love an all purpose RB.

Carl Pickens had 4 1000 yard seasons and 63 career TD's. Very underrated receiver.

Um. For the most part this is a really bad list for one year wonders. 

 

Pickens has 4 1000 yd years
