Your Favorite Scrub/Underappreciated Players

TheFrenzy · 10-23-2013, 09:14 PM

Mine:

- Cole Beasley, Cowboys WR, 2012-Present (Texas guy through and through)
- Aldrick Robinson, Redskins WR, 2011-Present (from my home town of Waxahachie, TX)
- Robert Edwards, Patriots RB, 1998 (tragic knee injury at the Pro Bowl)
- Tyrone Prothro, Alabama WR, 2005 (he was basically a "Kevin Ware" type player; his leg injury kept him from the NFL)
- Yatil Green, Dolphins WR, 1998-1999 (another knee injury guy)

Nick Collins

Year after the 2010 Super Bowl victory, he hurt his neck against the Panthers and never played again. He was the Packers best safety and would have been awesome with Morgan Burnett.

Truemountaineer · 10-23-2013, 09:18 PM

- Steve Slaton
- Pat White
- Owen Schmitt (he is the guy known as the Run Away Beer Truck, he is also the player who busted his head open with his own helmet with the seattle seahawks)
-Noel Devine (Could have been a great NFL RB, but he had a horrible ankle injury)
-Stedman Bailey

Kobe24>MJ23 · 10-23-2013, 09:19 PM

- Charlie Garner

- Warrick Dunn

- Eddie George

I remember him. Didn't realize he'd been injured! (sucks...) I still remember the Darren Woodson/George Teague days of the Cowboys - it's a great feeling as a fan to know your team has a great safety.

Antowain Smith?

Borderline here. Garner, Dunn, and George were all under-appreciated to be sure, but they were far from scrubs. I dunno, maybe I'm just one of the collectors, like you, who gives them their due respect.

George Teague learned everything he knew from LeRoy Butler! Who also happens to be my underrated candidate.

He was a former Packer too.

Yeah, George is one of my all time favorites, so I don't think he was at all a scrub. Dude had over 10K yards in just 9 seasons. Dunn is also over 10K.

I know they're not scrubs, I was talking mainly about being under appreciated.

That's the one!!! Later in the broadcast, the commentators saw Scooter Berry and Johnny Dingle sitting next to each other and said, "Good thing they're not sitting the other way around!" hue hue hue hue.....

Some of mine:
J.R. Redmond and Jermaine Wiggins (2001 Pats awww yeah)

Rashean Mathis (can't believe this guy is still playing for the Lions)

Charlie Batch and Mike McMahon (Thanksgiving Day football is pretty big in my family, so we saw a lot of both of these guys)

Shaun King (had an awesome night game vs. Green Bay once where he and Warrick Dunn teamed up to just go off...if I didn't PC the guy I do it'd probably be King with Redmond and Edwards as the backup PCs).

Corey Alston and Tory Woodbury (both entirely due to Madden 2004 which I have played way too much in my life...neither guy did much but I've contemplated collecting the master set of each guy since they are 11 and 4 cards respectively. I could get Woodbury's entire master set in one COMC purchase hahaha)

Ben Watson, mostly for this play (gets good around 1:00 left):
Benjamin Watson tackle saving touchdown - YouTube
Real smart guy too, plus he was a Brownie for a little bit and now he's getting some run in New Orleans with Jimmy Graham hurt.

And finally, Kywin Supernaw. Real random guy who I found in one of the old NFL 2K games on Dreamcast...started following him cause his name is crazy but he also is an IU alum which I am as well so that was a cool connection. Had a custom card made of him and he signed it for me...we're LinkedIn buddies haha.

YES! That was one of the great hustle plays I've ever seen.

If we're talking about forgotten Texans RB's, Domanick Davis is #1 on my list.
