Great idea! Fun to revisit the old gamer with added context now. CJ Verdell was so important to that team in hindsight. We don't look at his injury as catastrophic as Dennis Dixon's, but it's probably the biggest what if for that season. The offense never felt right after his departure.

Weird- Justin Flowe never really recovered after an amazing first game. He looked like he was going to be a 3 year starter and a high draft pick. I've wondered if he over played and tried to do too much when he came back. Always seemed to over-pursue and overrun plays, and pick up dumb penalties.
