I agree
Worse Washed WR Signing: Odell Beckham Jr or Cris Carter?

Boston got a nasty knee injury if I remember right. Probably too much HGH, he was more like a bodybuilder than an athlete.

Beckham cost us very little... so it really wasn't a bad signing. He was just an insurance policy that we ultimately didn't need.
Less than 3m. No big deal.

Also... there were brothers here who when OBJ was first mentioned were advocating that we should spend 8 or 9 million on him.
THAT would have been a disaster... and I'm not naming names here.

Lol. Most hilarious signing ever. Took him 3 games to catch a pass and he was so amazed he tripped over his own feet and fumbled. Fir those who weren't there, I'm not making this up.
Some of the newbies don't now what some of us ole heads been through!

This thread helped me watch Marino in 1994 against vikes. Wow. So good
Shula awful again. Guy was so overrated from 86 on. Drafting was worse than Grier. Shula was awful for long. I watched. It for many years.

You speak hard but accurate facts.
Shula had hits - and his share of royal misses.
I still really admire him though.
One thought - the Bosa brothers’ dad John was a Dolphin first round pick in the late 1980s. He was starting to look really good… then tore up a knee. I will won’t call him a bust. His relative - Eric Kumerow also late 1980s - not good.
Kumerow’s grandfather was a big time mafia member. Google it. Cool story.

I don’t admire him because I started watching in 1984. What did he do?
I saw playoffs with him in 84 85 90 92 94 95.
Got help in 1995 to get In This board would blow up with getting help lol lol lol lol
Nice collapse in 1993
This board loves collapses. lol
70s different story
Let’s start calling things as they are.
Facts. It’s fascinating to watch Shula media interviews in the glory years. He makes Belichick sound fun.
He was serious. Very hard core. Very successful.
I’ve said he before that losing Csonka, Kiick, Warfield hurt. But compare Mia’s early 70s drafts to Pitt’s… that hurt more.
Great post. Thanks for sharing those names.

where's Legadu Nanee when you need him
Considering the hype level around the signing, OBJ is not even top 3 biggest WR flops. There was pretty low expectations for him… 50% hated the signing from day 1 and there was another 50% who thought “a solid #3” - that’s basically saying you expect him to be the 70-75th best WR.
Will Fuller was markedly worse of late… I don’t remember Cris Carters super well, but I do remember what a flop he was for us.
