OH NOES! I wonder what I will miss.

I used to get ESPN the mag, but then I decided TP was easier to use.

I'll admit he was a bust for the team, but I'll always thank him for that Super Bowl run, that was a thing of beauty...

And that amazing td in the NFCC game at Philly...bouncing off 2 defenders to get in for the score; those two td's were worth it all!

Is it just me or does that statement absolutely make no sense? It was better to say "3rd and 9 after 2nd and 9" or "4th and 2 after 3rd and 1".

Makes sense to me. He meant that we'd run him on 1st down and he'd put us at 2nd and 9 almost every time.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda.

he was a joke most of his career. look how little he got the rock in SF this year. I think he had less than 15 carries on the season.

I misunderstood it too at first. He's saying "second and 9 after second and 9" meaning multiple times a game he gets 1 yard on first and 10. As in, time after time, not one play right after the other.

I would have to go with Keary Colbert, experts lied when they said his play was better than his smile.

Also Fox/Hurney was using Foster as if he were Stephen Davis or Jerome Bettis. Calling plays sending him up the middle over and over again when it failed almost all the time. Plus a piss poor offensive line in '06 and '07.

Marty Hurney was calling plays for Foster?

Anyone an insider that wants to copy & paste the rest of it?

I would, but I had been told in the past that I couldn't because it was copyrighted. In fact, I had a post removed by a mod once for that very reason.

The only Bears player who made it was:

16. Olin Kreutz: Like Brown, Kreutz is a fine player, who made the Pro Bowl six straight years because the only other consistently good center in the NFC was Matt Birk. It isn't like the Bears are known as one of the league's best pound-up-the-gut running teams.

Agree O4...who the hell outside some Panthers fans ever touted Foster as an elite RB?

Dopey choice.

He'd be high on a list of highly touted college running backs that failed to transfer their performance over into the professional ranks, but a list of the decade's most overrated? Really? Nobody rated him.

[DaCityKats]

Yeah, Foster was/is a bust... 6' tall HB's need to be able to run with power in the NFL.

I actually disagree that Vick is/was a bust... the money and attention he brought the Falcons prior to his "incident" was worth every penny.

i agree, he also lead his team to a nfc championship game.how can you consider him a bust but not carson,if he sucked that much shuab would still be in atlanta.

Of course! That makes sense! :thumbsup:

Foster being #1 sounds like a panther hater. These are the same douche bags that don't have a single panther in the top 25 underrated players, and they list Roddy White at #4 for the leagues 10 irreplaceable players. Call me a homer but these guys can eat a dick.

At least Foster's problems were not from a lack of effort, the man gave it 110% on game day and always fought for yards. He would have been a great player if he didn't get hurt so much, the broken ankle did him in, he had already lost enough burst from his torn ligament in his rookie season. At least he could show flashes of greatness. What about Alex Smith? He hasn't done jack sh1t and he was supposed to be the savior for the 49ers.

[top dawg]

Foster as the biggest bust is ludicrous. He wasn't that highly touted of a player to begin with.

In all actuality, the biggest bust just may be Vick. The man went from hero to zero like no one I've ever seen in the NFL.
