Big Turk Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I vote Gary Barnidge, TE with the Cleveland Browns... At age 30 he caught 79 passes for 1043 yards and 9 TDs and made the pro bowl. Prior to that season, his highest yardage total was 242 yards which was the only season prior with over 156 yards. He had 2 seasons with 0 receiving yards and another with 78 receiving yards. In fact, before that season, his career totals were 44 catches for 603 yards and 3 TDs in 92 game over 6 seasons.

Good question. Trent Dilfer has to be up there. NOT because he was that good during that Super Bowl year but because he was lucky enough to win a Super Bowl for how average/below average he was. 🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns have a few other candidates that are in the running. I’ll take Peyton Hillis who got 1,177 of his career 2,832 rushing yards in 2010 and was voted to the cover of Madden. Derek Anderson, KW2 and Kelly Holcomb also had some crazy years/games for the Browns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or another Brown, Peyton Hillis, who had such a good year I think he even got on the cover of Madden. He went to the Pro Bowl after a 24 yard year the season before and then had like 500 yards the next year and was basically worthless after that.

Big Turk Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Another Brown gets on the list...Terelle Pryor had a pretty good year as a WR with 77 catches for 1007 yards and then never had more than 252 yards in any season again... In fact the rest of his career he had 38 catches for 556 yards. 2 of those catches and 17 of those yards came as a Bill in 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think Peyton Hillis is the easy answer here. I was trying to come up with Bills, Peerless Price gets an honorable mention. He had another year or two of “some productivity” but his career catch % is 52%. He had one year where he caught 1200 yards in Buffalo and 64% of passes thrown his way. Before that he had never caught moire than 50 % of his passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Derek Anderson's 2007 season in Cleveland where they barely missed the playoffs had him looking like he was gonna be the answer at QB.

dpberr Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 This is a fun topic. I'll add some: Scott Mitchell, QB, Detroit Lions, 1995 season. He threw for over 4,000 yards. Chris Borland, LB, 49ers, 2014 season. He had 100+ tackles that season and then abruptly retired. John Stephens, RB, Patriots, 1988 season. Gets his one and only Pro Bowl nod and wins ROTY in his first season rushing for nearly 1,200 yards. Plays for a couple more seasons, never eclipses 1k again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow also! It must just be the Ickey Shuffle that made him memorable. The Bengals were white hot in the 1988 season and the media fawned over their version of the no huddle. Scored a ton of points, went undefeated at home. They gave the all-powerful 49ers a legitimate battle in the Super Bowl and if it weren't for Jerry Rice's other wordly game, the Bengals probably would have won it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Seemed like Bryce Paup had a much better than expected season with the Bills. Maybe even over a 2 year span was amazing.
