Falcons: Who did you expect more from this year?

[phocis850]

Looking at how this season went, who do you believe under-performed to what you believe should have been achieved?

I know that we all have different standards, but I've got to say Harry Douglas. Everyone has always been so excited to see what he could do, but he really hasn't done much this year. I REALLY wanted to believe the hype, but I knew better.

Harry Douglas
receptions: 34
yards: 375
avg: 11.0
longest: 37
td: 0

Really, looking at his stats from last year, last season was better for him.

TOTAL                                  118    1,487    12.6    69    3    17    71    4.2    33    1    2    1

I know our offense doesn't feature a slot receiver, but really, we've passed more this year than any other and we almost have 3 1,000+ yard receivers. HD had maybe 2 good games this year, the others were just average at best. I don't see separation often and I see him just blending into the field way to often.

I believe we have our replacement for HD ready in Drew Davis. In 4 catches this year he's already got more TD's than HD. And it was an impressive catch too.

However, on the flipside, this may be Gonzo's last year. That may make HD more valuable. BUT... what we've seen from him currently is not something that can replace half of what we will miss with Gonzo retiring.

So... who is your underachieving player this year?
