Your Colt 1 year wonder?

[twfish]

I was watching a video and it got me thinking about one year wonders we have had

 

Vick Ballard would be mine, man those injuries really did him in but I thought he was going to be a great pairing with Luck.

[FanFromtheWasteland]

We may be able to list JT as a one year wonder

[2006Coltsbestever]

Eric Ebron in 2018. 

[compuls1v3]

Not sure how long Pat Angerer played.  Does he count?  What about LaVon Brazill.

[BlackTiger]

I'll go with Jim Harbaugh.  He was here a while but had one good year and didnt do much before or after

LB O'Brien Alston, 1989

I really thought we had something with Rogers and Brazil

One year, Sheard somehow got a high PFF grade and a bunch of hype.

I’ve gotta go with Eric Ebron

[GoColts8818]

Kenton Keith and Mike Hart   Too soon?

[chad72]

Not for performance reasons but for health reasons, with a sad recollection, may I say Austin Collie?

 

Great 2009 as a rookie, and then came 2010 season, and he was never the same after those concussions. Maybe a 1.5 year wonder???

[lollygagger8]

Man that's a hard choice......

 

Hank Baskett or T-Rich ?

That’s who I was trying to remember. Yes I’d count him as well

One year wonder means they’d have to at least have one stellar year, neither of those did. 
 

now, if you wanna talk the biggest busts, yeah they’re up there

[GoColts8818]

Harbaugh.  His first year here was forgettable.  His second year was amazing.  He started coming back down to earth his third year and his fourth year was injury riddled.

I loved his play.  

[Fluke_33]

zach crocket for that playoff run

[lollygagger8]

 

Most recently: Yannick Ngakoue

[IndyEric07]

Drew Haddad had that 1 great preseason if that counts!

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Wentz!

 

Oh! You didn't ask for 1 Year Blunder?

That would DEFINITELY be Richardson - AND - the GM who traded for him!!

 

But Wentz is a very very very close 2nd.

 

1a  and 1b

[twfish]

Remember Tyler Varga? I remember Irsay even made a comment about his play during his final game interview. Got a concussion and retired

Be sure to clarify that you are referring to Trent Richardson, not Anthony Richardson.

1 year wonderer is someone who was great/or very good for 1 year here. Neither one of your choices measure up. Trent sucked and Wentz was average.

 

Philip Rivers in 2020 would be a great choice. My OP, I said Eric Ebron in 2018.

I know him. He played around when Vick Ballard and Ahmad Bradshaw were here, no?

 

He was not a "wonder".

 

Of all that I have read, Ebron fits best. He was great one year and Colts fans loved him. The following year he was a pariah. Fans could not wait to get rid of him..

Sshhhh... We were talking about 1 Year Blunder  

 

 

That's T-Rich and Wentz on the entries so far ..

I listed Ebron. He fit the bill perfectly.

Speaking of Blunder (again), John Elway was 1-Week Blunder  

 

Agreed about one year wonder... Ebron. He was great that year, maybe he just clicked with Luck?

He loved Luck. They had great chemistry.

Blunder was Jeffrey George

Let's go back to Colts one-year wonders.

 

The guy that quit in the middle of a game in Buffalo, did he have multiple great years for the Colts? He is a CB whose brother was a TE for the Niners. Can't recall his name. He may have had multiple great years.

That's a very good pick... it's insane how he caught 13 TDs while playing like 50% of the snaps.

Davis. He was good for a couple years.

I almost said Angerer. Yes he counts. He had an insane amount of tackles 1 year. I think it was 2011.

I don't know if anyone will ever top Trent "rolling ball of butcher knives" Richardson if you're talking about trade blunders. At least Wentz was semi-decent for a minute (except when it really counted.)

[holeymoley99]

Jonathan Newsome-LB. lead our club in sacks as a rookie in 2014, was Named AFC Defensive Player of the Week with 2 sacks,8 tackles 1 ff...never did much of anything again was out of the league after 1 more season and up to canada where he had some solid if not great seasons.
