If you could choose any one Seahawk...

Any player in the past who didn't pan out or live up to expectations, that you wish did live up or eclipse those expectations, who would it be and why?

I know this doesn't really qualify based on that specific criteria but I really, really wish Lofa Tatupu could have had a much longer career than he did with us. He was such a bright shining star that flashed out way too soon.

Marcus Tubbs

Daryl Turner

Koren Robinson. He was a knucklehead, but I always rooted for that guy. All the natural ability in the world. Could have been one of the best of all time if he had the proper head or work ethic.

Amen. Thinking of Lofa is actually what got me thinking about this post. He was such a beast and flamed out so fast. Really sad.

Koren Robinson for me too. Tubba is another good one.

DJ Hackett.

Deon Butler gets my vote. Dude trashed his leg while getting the touchdown against the Niners in 2010. He returned, but never quite got back to where he had been prior to that. Pure what could have been story.

Rick Mire, got to see him a lot his senior year a Notre Dame, and then we drafted him. His rookie year was awesome and then the rest is well documented

I will always picture Lofa using the Eagles field goal post as a punching bag on that snow-covered MNF blowout.

Kris Durham

Well... as far as expectations go... I don't think there were ever any higher expectations in the history of the team than Aaron Curry. If THAT guy lived up to the hype we were hearing when he got drafted... lawdhamercy he would have been the second coming. A churchy Lawrence Taylor. :179417:

Instead... we got whatever the hell his 3 years here were. ukeface:

Robinson is a good pick, he had an uncanny ability to catch the hard ones and miss the easy ones. Lofa man he could still be here if his knees didn't give up. Boz could have been interesting.

Jordan Kent would be another one for me. Dude had the measurables...

Way too many. This is hard. Anthony Simmons?

Boz came to mind - not sure if it was because of the other raising the flag thread or not. But this guy was Hollywood, WWE, and pure dominance all wrapped up into a single player. I gotta think him and his agent hid that shoulder injury from the team and it just got worse. If that guy could have lasted, he would have changed the history of our team for certain!

Aaron Curry

Boz

Marcus Tubbs and Aaron Curry. Needs to be a 1st or 2nd rd draft or a high profile draft pick in my eyes. 3rd rd our higher who sticks around and contributes exceeds expectations.

Lofa panned out fine. 3 time pro-bowler and one time all-pro is a pretty good career.
