Biggest fantasy bust?

    Some of you guys have been in the fantasy football game for a long time.  I've only been involved for 5 years.  So lets bring back some bad memories...........who comes to mind as the biggest BUST in fantasy football history?  Did you spend your 1st round rookie pick on a player that had all of the hype, but ended up a complete disaster?  I'm just curious to see.

    I know that this guy is not the absolute worst... but seeing as how he is a St. Louis boy and seeing as how I had such high hopes for him... the first name that comes to my mind is Laurence Maroney

    I will give it some more thought however

    Maybe it was just me since I seemed to be the only one that believed but I gave up a lot in one league for Tatum Bell.  Of course it was a complete waste.

    Shaun Alexander's 2006 season was a major bust. He won the NFL MVP in 2005.
    2005, rushed for 1800 yards 27 TD 5.1 ypc
    2006, rushed for 1000 yards LESS, only 800 yards 7 TD 3.8 ypc
    BUST!

    Knowshaun Moreno and Charles Rodgers...huge busts. I cant call Alexander a bust because from 2001 to 2005 he was great:
    2001 - 1319/14
    2002 - 1175/16
    2003 - 1435/14
    2004 - 1696/16
    2005 - 1880/27
    Thats not a bust man...and thats not counting his rushing #s.

    Maroney, Brandon Jackson, knowshown Moreno, all come to mind. I also remember someone burning a 1 st in a dynasty startup on Domanik Davis (houston rb). that was a bad idea lol
    2013 Predictions:
    -Jay Cutler will not be a starting QB in the NFL after 2013
    -Matt Forte will have the best season of his career in 2013
    -Trent Richardson will exceed 18 total tds in 2013

    Daunte Culpepper - 2002, 03 and 04 he was a machine then got hurt in 05 and never returned.
    most peoples lives are a direct reflection of the expectations of those around you

    what if you have a higher expectation for yourself than those you associate with?

    Yeah, but he led me to my first Super Bowl in my first year of playing FF in 2004. Did not win it, but warn't his fault

    Several years ago in my 3 keeper league, a guy traded up to the first pick in the draft to proudly grab Lee Evans.  2 picks later I took some guy named Larry Fitzgerald.
