"Quarterback: Michael Vick. Sigh. I get it. Hey, I wrote a whole column about his disappointing year, but I bet next year, when he goes in the late third/early fourth round, he ends up winning a bunch of people their league. Will he go off a year after I'm all-in on him? Money in the bank.
Honorable mentions: Philip Rivers, Tony Romo, Sam Bradford.
Running back 1: Chris Johnson. CJ2YPC, as some have joked, had just four games of 100 yards rushing or more, scored only four touchdowns all year and looked like someone who should not have had an average draft position of No. 2 overall. Hard to remember a higher draft pick having a more disappointing year without injury. On the plus side, if you regret investing your first-round pick in him, think how the Titans feel.
Running back 2: LeGarrette Blount. Arghhh! Two carries against the Panthers? Two?? I'm normally a "patience with coaches not named Shanahan or Turner" kind of guy, but Raheem Morris has no support in this corner of the Internet. Despite being "the guy," Blount had more than 15 carries only five times all year and didn't always help himself with fumbles.
Honorable mentions: Darren McFadden, Knowshon Moreno, DeAngelo Williams, Felix Jones, Shonn Greene and many votes for Jahvid Best, though Cory Graham put it best on my Facebook page: "I've been accused of having a man-crush on Best since he was in college, and have drafted him in every league possible, waiting on the breakout. I think I could pen a successful Lifetime Movie script (on) this abusive relationship."
Wide receiver 1: Andre Johnson. The question isn't the talent, it's the health. It's why he was not my No. 1 receiver coming into the year, though he was the first overall wide receiver drafted on average. It's not just the missed games, it's the teasing. This is the week he's coming back. No, this is the week. Ooops, just one more week. This time we mean it!
Wide receiver 2: DeSean Jackson. While arguing for a new deal with a lot more money, he missed a team meeting and was suspended for a game. That was when he lost me. You?
Honorable mention: D Jax received as many votes as Vincent Jackson, but I went with D Jax because I owned him on one team and knew better than to go anywhere near perennial fantasy whack-a-mole V Jax. Miles Austin, Santonio Holmes, Reggie Wayne and Mario Manningham all got votes, as did Mike Williams of Tampa Bay, whom I thought would be the runaway winner.
Flex: Peyton Hillis. The third most votes of any running back and more than any wide receiver, the Madden Curse lives on. Strep throat, Peyton? Really? You're a football player. Strep throat is what you're going with? Seriously? Seriously?
Tight end: Jermichael Finley. Never met a pass he couldn't drop. If only he had a great quarterback throwing to him in a record-setting year. Remember in Week 14, when the Packers put up 46 points on Oakland? Forty-six. And Finley had zero catches. And just one target. The same number as backup tight end D.J. Williams.
Honorable mention: Vernon Davis, Antonio Gates, Dallas Clark.
Kickers: Nick Folk and Billy Cundiff. I have no idea why. They are kickers. Who cares? But when asked to give me one player they will never draft again, two guys chose kickers. Hilarious."
