Now that for most teams the season is at the quarter pole what does everyone think are the biggest surprises and disappointments so far teams and/or players:
Mine are
Surprises:
The Chiefs-Never would have guessed they would be the last undefeated team though they only played three games.
The Rams-Never saw them at .500 after four games.
Sam Bradford -Has played shockingly well for a rookie QB, especially one coming off a major injury that made him miss essentially all of his last college season.
Mark Sanchez-After his INTfest of a rookie year he has eight tds and has yet to throw an int.
Tomlinson-Discarded by the Chargers he has shown flashes of 2006 LT.
Vick-Had a nice two plus games before yesterday in his first extended action in three years.
Arian Foster- Who would have thought he would be the best RB in the league this year?
Brandon Lloyd-Went from journeyman to producing like a number one wideout in an underrated passing attack.
The Bears-Despite last night's clunker who would have thought they would be 3-1?
The Jaguars-2-2 with a win over the Colts.
The Texans- A notrious slow starting team starts slow no more looks scary especially after yesterday's win without Andre Johnson. The scary thing is Cushing has yet to play.
Clay Matthews-Seven sacks in four games he looks like LT the linebacker in his prime.
Disappointments
49ers-Weren't they suppossed to win the weakest division in the NFL? Now they are 0-4.
Chris Johnson-He was talking about 2,500 yards, he is averaging under four yards a carry and has had two bad games out of four.
Matt Moore-Clearly this kid is not an NFL QB.
Chargers and Colts- 2-2 after four weeks with losses to less than stellar opponents won't cut it in a tough AFC.
The Chargers offense-A once high powered machine has been reduced to Rivers to Gates or bust.
The Cardinals Offense- Went from Warner, Fitzgerald, Boldin and Breaston and the Super Bowl about 20 months ago to Anderson/Max Hall to Fitzgerald and three rookies two who were not even drafted while Breaston mends.
The Patriots- They are 2-1 but their defense has not shown up since the first half of game one. It made Ryan Fitzpatrick look like Peyton.
The Saints offense-They are 3-1 but where is the high octane machine? This was going on even before the Bush injury.
Jason Campbell- Al Davis compared him to Jim Plunkett before the season after two games he is on the bench after resembling JaMarcus Russell.
Vikings-1-2 with only win over Detriot.
Brett Favre-Has looked 50 for much of this year without Sidney Rice making plays.
Matt Forte-Has had a few nice receptions but where is the rusher who showed so much promise as a rookie in 2008? Last year was not an aberation it appears.
Williams and Stewart- The Panthers two stud backs have been mostly duds.
Brandon Jacobs-Went from unstoppable big back every coach wishes for to tossing his helmet into the crowd and riding the bench in not even two years.
