Shame of the Year - 2009 Season

[Dave Gray]

Though I think he played better down the stretch, a horrible first half of the season for Ted Ginn, Jr.  I still think he's worth keeping for now, but he was really, really bad there for a while.

I can't give it to Pat White.  He's a rookie QB, and he's clearly been instructed to go in and TAKE CARE OF THE BALL (as opposed to trying to make a play).

I can't give it to Ted Ginn, either.  As horrible as he was in the IND and NO games, he almost singlehandedly won the second NYJ game.  How many players on this team have had that kind of impact on even one game?

No, my Shame of the Year goes to Joey Porter.  Coming off of a AFC-leading sack season, he looked tired and unimportant, and let his mouth (as opposed to his play) do the talking.  Other players may have been worse, but no one had a bigger gap between expectations and performance than "Peezy."
