Which player is your biggest surprise ?

Which player has been the biggest surprise for you this year exceeding expectations ? or even underachieving ?


Mine has to be Zach Thomas... surprise surprise a cowboy, but really I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who has been a bigger surprise for me this year. Honestly I didn't know what to think when they picked him up, but I really didn't think he would be contributing this much. Hes flyin around, making great reads, and getting in on a lot of tackles so far. I remember a lot of people on here were thinking he might not even get much playing time preseason.

Matt Ryan would be another good pick, but there is a lot that remains to be seen from him.


So who ya got ?

Kyle Orton.

He'll make the pro-bowl if he keeps going at this rate and I didn't even think he was good enough to start for an arena team.

Definitely made a believer out of me as he's doing all of this with CFL receivers.

clinton portis thought he would be on the decline, starting to get up in age bracket but he is ballin right now

chris johnson thought his speed was over hyped at beginning of year, didnt think he had a chance to run between the tackles, but he is real deal
