Good player, bad team?

[55]

Larry Fitzgerald was the first name to pop into my head.

Larry Fitzgerald doesn't pop into mind straight away for me because with Kurt Warner at the helm they used to be a pretty good team. Of course last year they tanked.

Nnamdi Asomugha, Steven Jackson, Calvin Johnson, Lee Evans, Patrick Willis, London Fletcher. Are some of the names I think of because they go out every week and give it their all and then some.. on teams that are perpetual losers season after season.. and yet they still give a great effort.

It's amazing to see how much of an impact Kurt Warner was to that team, but if you're saying Fitzgerald was only good because of Warner that is highly disagreeable.

First 2 names to come to mind: Larry Fitz and DeAngelo Williams

Yall do realize Larry Fitzgerald had 90 catches for 1137 yards last season with Derek Anderson/Max Hall/John Skelton at QB? It doesn't matter who is throwing to him; Fitz is still capable of being a top WR. Everyone assumed he had a bad year but 90/1137 is a good season. That's more yards than he had with Warner in 2009!

Rookie QB in a shortened off season. 4-12 is quite possible
