Athletes You Were Wrong About?

As far as Coaches go...

I was wrong about all of my pro squad's coaches.

Mike Smith -- Never really heard of him before we hired him. Did my research and realized that he did have a decent background, but I just knew he would be one and maybe 2-and-done after a couple 5-win seasons. He had never been a head coach on ANY level before taking the Falcons job.
Dude been a head coach for 6 years now and still has no idea what its like to not have a winning season.
Plus he loses assistant coaches almost every year to other teams, so you know it's him and not his assistants.

Scottie Brooks - I figured Durant would be better than Lebron BEFORE Scottie could beat Popovich in a playoff series. I was wrong. Scottie has questionable lineups sometimes, but he's better than he gets credit for.
The job he did with our defense last year was amazing.
Lost James Harden and nikkas thought we would fall apart -- all Scottie did was coach us to our best season in every statistical category -- wins, offense, defense, FG%, etc, etc.

Freddie Gonzo (Braves) - I'm just a big Bobby ? fan (nh) and I'm salty that Bobby didn't get another shot at a ring and our front office waited for Bobby to retire before we started getting aggressive with acquisitions. Plus, I just didn't trust dude. But now we got the best record in baseball so it's all good.


On the flip side -

I was wrong about Jim Mora Jr. I really ? with his coaching style, but now I see that it's probably better suited for college. Vick kinda ? him over too, but if he wouldn't tried to be Vick's coach instead of his "homeboy" then maybe Vick would've worked harder.

Still think Dan Reeves firing was the worst thing to happen to Vick's career.

Yeah I thought Roddy was ass his first year. ? had hands of stone when he was ? wit Vick. Developed into my favorite Falcon tho...

Can't front, but when the Aint's got the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Mark Ingram with a late 1st round pick I was like...




But after realizing he's just a extra average ass NFL running back the last few years, I'm like...

Gawd I hated that era of the NBA.

low percentages nd low scorin games made for some great highlights tho lls

Might as well admit this one and clear my conscience...

Awww, mannnnn.


I just knew this nikka was the missing piece that Vick needed. You couldn't tell me the league wasn't in trouble after we signed this nikka.

The truth was -- back then he was the NFL equivalent of what Dwight Howard was in free agency this year.

He was just the "best available" at his position. He was undersized, a decent #2 receiver at best, and Eric Moulds was the real reason he shined in Buffalo.

I know he still eatin off that contract we gave him.

forgot bout Fearless Peerless Price Eric Moulds really helped him out in Buffalo foreal cuz he aint do ? for da Falcons lls

Yeah, that was back when Arthur Blank was trying to "Jerry Jones" it with no GM. Bless him jewish heart.

He hired a GM right after that (McKay). And when Mckay paid all that money to Ed "? Ass" Hartwell -- we went out and got Dimitroff.

But ain't even mad at Hartwell. No Hartwell, No Dimitroff.

in before Peter Warrick
