DeAngelo Hall was straight money for the skins.
Got burnt a few times but actually made plays on the ball, something our current DBs don't do, with zero pass rush.

Why is Shane Suisham on this list? How is he a disappointment when everyone already knew he sucks?

Anything else you wanna spew out, NFL .com? I know he had more yards but he was a general dissapointment if you watched the games. Did you watch the games? He wasn't running as hard or nearly as effectively as he showed he could last year. He's a one cut guy that couldn't find his groove until late. He did miss training camp and the preseason and was hampered by injury for a good portion but I found him to be a tad dissapointing as well as the rest of the team but that's another story.

But they have that swimsuit issue and it's seemingly all they need to sell their horrible magazine.

Don Banks was never smart to begin with.I like the fact that he said McFadden had a dissapointing year and yet failed to mention him having turf toe in both feet and the coaching staff never using him enough when he was healthy.

They have good visuals, not just talking about the ladies.
I like getting the preseaon prediction issue to see how bad they end up doing.

I'd put Tony Romo on that list. He's getting paid like an Elite QB but performing just a tad bit better than Derek Anderson.

Braylon Edwards forgot how to catch the football.
Chris Perry forgot how to hold on to the football.
Vernon Davis is becoming the perennial TE pick.

Mike Wahle has been done for 2 seasons now, I don't even know why Seattle gave him a contract.

Vernon Gholston is absolutely the biggest dissapointment, how could you disagree when a top 10 pick in the draft wasn't even on the active roster by the end of the season? Rookie or not, that is horrid.

Rookie or veteran, it doesn't matter. When you come into the season expecting to get double digit sacks and you barely get double digit tackles and don't record any sacks, you're a colossal disappointment. This isn't a "All-Bust" list. I agree it's too early to call Gholston a bust, but it's ridiculous to suggest he wasn't one of the biggest disappointments in football.
