A look back on my potential breakout players of 2011

There are still a few weeks left in the NFL season, but to humor myself I took the time to look at players I said would have a breakout year.  Here are the players and the original comments I made earlier:


Stevie Johnson (Buffalo Bills):  After a great end to his 2010 and the departure of Lee Evans to the Ravens now he is the #1 guy.  However he could see more double coverage if the Bills don't establish a viable #2 receiver to go with him.
Well the whole Bills offense had a breakthrough season.  His teammate Fred Jackson truly had the breakout season until he got hurt.  Stevie Johnson didn't have a bad season, but I expected more off the chart numbers.

Steve Breaston (Kansas City Chiefs):  Being reunited with his old coach in Todd Haley could be beneficial for Breaston.  He was hurt most of last year so he will be looking to bounce back with a more productive 2011 campaign.
The whole Chiefs team was a disappointment.  Numerous injuries to key players were probably a cause to the Chiefs anemic offense.  All the injuries did give a shot to running back Battle.  But he isn't who I picked to have a breakout year.

CJ Spiller (Buffalo Bills):  Hopefully Chan Gailey knows what to do with him and maybe he can have more chances in the offense.
Well with Fred Jackson hurt now Spiller gets a chance.  We'll see at the end of the year.

Rashad Jennings (Jacksonville Jaguars):  MJD will probably get less touches this year to help get him through the season healthy.  Which means Jennings will get more opportunities.
Fail.  No other comments are necessary.

John Beck (Washington Redskins):  I'm just kidding but it's possible.
Another absolute fail.  What was I smoking?

Early Doucet (Arizona Cardinals):  With a new QB and Larry Fitzgerald attracting double coverage he will get his chance.
Had a decent year.  This year was a struggle for everyone on the Cardinals team.  

Tim Hightower (Washington Redskins):  Mike Shanahan maybe overrated as a QB guru, but his system seems to be very running back friendly.
I did get it somewhat right with Hightower.  He was having a great season until he had an injury that took him out for the year.  Which led the way for another player to have a breakout season.  (Roy Helu)

Top 5 QBs in College this year (Revised)

A couple months ago I ranked who I felt were the top 5 QBs in college this year.  I am here to revise that list.  Before I give my new top 5 here was my original top 5:

1. Robert Griffin III (Baylor)
2. Russell Wilson (Wisconsin)
3. Tajh Boyd (Clemson)
4. Matt Barkley (USC)
5. Case Keenum (Houston)   

Here is my new list:

1. Robert Griffin III (Baylor)
2. Brandon Weeden (Oklahoma St.)
3. Russel Wilson (Wisconsin)
4. Matt Barkley (USC)
5. Andrew Luck (Stanford)

Where Is The Love In R&B Music

This is a good article on CNN.  They usually don't make music like they did in the 70s or 80s or 90s.  Almost like it isn't cool anymore to make those types of songs.
