Greg Cook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greg Cook was a rookie starting QB for the expansion Bengals in 1969. They started the season 3-0. He got hurt in the 3rd game and never fully recovered.

Drew Bennett is a good one, the Titans WR who had this epic fantasy stretch one season.

28 catches for 517 yards and 8 TDs. Fantasy legend! The Panthers had a similar white dude one year, whose name I have forgotten.

Drew Bennett had one of the greatest three-game stretches ever

 

[Trudem]

Javon Walker had two good seasons then poof

Samkon Gado started 5 games for the Packers and then never did anything else of note.

 

[Clayton]

Larry Johnson was a 2 hit wonder for the Chiefs. Completely disappeared after that.

He got 826 touches in those 2 seasons but he was actually relevant for 5 years.

Is it too soon to mention Nick Foles and his ridiculous 27 TD, 2 INT season? In the rest of his career, he has 26 TDS and 25 INTS. His YPA drops from 9.1 to around 6.4.

Elvis Grbac?

 

[The Oldtimer]

Matt Flynn. One amazing game netted him 14 million from the Seahawks. He hasn't done shit since besides playing game manager ball when Aaron Rodgers is injured.

Good call!!!

 

[The Oldtimer]

Maybe he wasn't a one hit wonder, but Trent Green QB, Chiefs and Rams. He got hurt in the pre-season for the Rams and a nobody took over and the rest is history.

 

[The Q]

Ladell Betts(Redskins)-Clinton Portis went down in early 2,000s and Betts ran for over 1,000 yds in 9 games.

James Allen(Bears)-He had 1 good year then was out of the league 2 years later?

Kevin Curtis(Eagles)-1 good year with over 1,000 yds receiving never to be repeated.

Lamar Smith(Dolphins)-Random 1,000 yds + 16 td season and that was it.

Drew Bennet(Titans)- 1 season with over 1,200 yds and 11 tds and held a NFL record 8 tds in 3 game span.

Barry Foster(Steelers)- Lead the league with over 1,600 yds 11tds nand was out of the NFL 2 yrs later.

Tommy Maddox(Steelers)-10 win season made the playoffs. Comebacks Player of the Year. Then POOF!

Ickey Woods(Bengals)-Had a great rookie season and played in the SuperBowl. Injury the next yr ruin him.

Bennett..the idiot who dropped the easiest pass in NFL history to cost the Titans a playoff game against the Pats.

 

[The Q]

Kenny Holmes.

Arlen Harris

Anthony Thomas

 

[flyerhawk]

Scott Mitchell
Rob Johnson

 

[jarntt]

Gary Hogeboom.
Timmy Smith.
Tom Brady.

 

[RobToxin]

Timmy Smith RB Washington Redskins. 204 yards and 2 TDs in Super Bowl 22.

And then nothing.

 

[RobToxin]

Gary Hogeboom.
Timmy Smith.
Tom Brady.

Just beat me to it.

 

[RobToxin]

Frank Reich replaced an injured Jim Kelly and brought the Bills back from 35-3 down to beat the Oilers in a Wild Card Playoff Game.

But was never a starting quarterback in the NFL.

 

[RobToxin]

Don Majkowski led the Packers to a big comenack win over the Saints in 88 or 89 and was the Packers' hope at QB for years to come.....

and was a disappointment and soon replaced by Brett Favre.

 

[RobToxin]

And how can we have a one-hit wonder thread without the greatest one-hit wonder in the history of the NFL.

Say it with me Cowboy fans:

Clint Longley.

 

[night]

Stevan Ridley.

 

[sonnyblack65]

Gary Hogeboom.
Timmy Smith.
Tom Brady.

Never heard of that Brady fella , maybe a no hit wonder

 

[Broncos6482]

Javon Walker had two good seasons then poof

Samkon Gado started 5 games for the Packers and then never did anything else of note.

In fairness to Walker, he got really messed up from when Darrent Williams was shot and died in his lap. He never could get his head straightened out after that.
