I thought I was wrong once... Turns out I was mistaken..

I was dead wrong on Brandon Stokley/Andre Caldwell. I thought Stokely would strictly be in training camp to help bring along the young guys and transition for Manning. I thought Caldwell would be a deep threat and have about 500 yards/5 touchdowns.

Slightly different as far as being wrong, but I was really worried when we cut Paxton and went with Brewer as long snapper. Havent even heard his name, which pretty much means he is totally getting the job done.

I thought Knowshon would have a good year.

I predicted half a season of rust for Peyton, turns out all he needed was 5 quarters.

I didn't make too many predictions. I guess that was a mistake too Laughing

Wrong on Moreno and McDaniels especially. I was huge fans of theirs...obviously that was ill-founded...Oh year, Ayers too. And I said i didn't think Stokes would make the team and it would be Jason Hill of all people to make it over him.

Oh how wrong one can be.

I had a dream two weeks before the draft we would select Von I also wanted Dareus.

I still don't like Rahim Moore.

I also liked Knowshow, being a UGA fan.

1. I was wrong on Moreno. I thought he would have a solid year and bounce back strong.
2. I was wrong on Unrein. I thought he was a below average player> He has proven to be a solid rotational player on a good Dline.
3. I was wrong on Bunkley. Was upset when we let him go. Turned out to be a great move by the front office.

Great thread btw.

I was wrong about Tebow. His throwing motion and accuracy will just not work in this league.

I was wrong about Moreno. Can't believe he a diva RB.

I was wrong about Urein. Who? I never talked about him but I thought he would blow from day one. Yet I see glimpses of him holding his own out there.

And you guys are thinking of Broncosfand again.

I didn't like Knowshon at all but since we drafted him, I hoped on that bandwagon thinking he would be great, nope! I really believed Mayock's words about Ayers, I was wrong there. I remember I thought J. Thomas might put up huge numbers his rookie year, still waiting..haha I didn't like DT when we drafted him, that has changed a lot. I wanted us to get Rivers really badly. The worst was thinking McDaniels would be great.

I have been wrong tons. Back when i first started posting i was way too optimistic and basically defended what i wanted to happen as opposed to actually doing any kind of evaluation.

Here are some of those misses....

- The entire 2009 class. It's funny thinking back because i honestly thought that all of them were going to be good or useful in some way. Just to name a few. I thought Moreno was going to be a good player for a long time, not a star, but a well rounded RB capable of rushing for 1,000 yards and being impactful in the receiving game. I thought Robert Ayers could be an elite OLB or DE. I was on board with the Alphonso Smith trade. I thought he was going to be an elite nickel CB with terrific ball skills. I also thought Darcel McBath would turn into a ball hawking FS. Oh, i also loved Tom Brandstater.

- I would say i have been wrong about Chris Harris. Not that i thought he was trash, but i thought he was just an average player that played smart, couldn't line up on the outside, and would be a player Denver would always be looking to replace. He has shown he can hold up on the outside, while also being terrific in the nickel.

- I wouldn't say i have been completely wrong on Moore, but in his sophomore year he has been a good safety, i thought he would only be mediocre. Hopefully that doesn't still happen.
