After spending weeks of hard core research preparing for draft day, week 1 makes you feel awful. Well maybe not as bad as others. Week 1 doesn't gives us a real idea of which players will do well this season and which players won't. Week 1 is often times a fluke. Peterson, McCoy, and Charles all did below expectations. Now this could be a sign of a bad season for high draft pick running backs like last year but it could just be a slow start. You also have players that are the "Kevin Ogletrees". If you don't remember who he is, that is my point. He is a guy who went off week 1 in the past for the Cowboys. He was the hot free agent addition but he did nothing the rest of the season...a fluke. The player that I believe will be a fluke this season is Allen Hurns. He played great but that was without Cecil Shorts. When Shorts returns as the #1 WR, you can expect Marqise Lee on the opposite side of him. That leave Hurns the number 3 WR on the Jaguars who aren't consistent and don't have a strong QB. When looking for players via Free Agency you have to look at their history, their situation, and position value. One week doesn't define a player nor does it define a team.
Week 1 Struggles
These are very good QBs that lost week 1 but are aware that one week doesn't define their whole season
- Drew Brees
- Tom Brady
- Aaron Rodgers
- Andre Luck
- Philip Rivers
The Moral of the Story
Week 1 isn't a good judgment on players or teams. If you lost, big deal. Your players may not have performed but also know you may have to make some changes. You can fix you roster with trades, free agents, or even your bench, but stop embarrassing yourself. Nothing is worse than starting off the season 0-2.
