    Ouch! That hurts...

    I was doing a search in the IFL today and ran across a linebacker that seemed to be vastly overpaid. Turns out that he suffered a pretty serious injury and lost about half of his potential. This player is ILB Keith Gamboa of Pittsburgh. He tore a lateral knee ligament in a Week 4 matchup against Salt Lake City last season. He is approximately a 25/35 now and is due to be paid 2.4 million dollars this season.

    I noticed a few other large rating drops that appear to be due to injuries. Newark's wideout Mikel Hutson suffered a ruptured abductor muscle against Lawrence in Week 9 and dropped around 20 current and potential points. One of what seemed like a dozen of Wichita's doomed quarterbacks was Brian McCalla. He suffered the same injury that Gamboa did in a game against St. Louis last year. He dropped around 15 current and potential. While he is an older quarterback, that seems like just too large of a decrease .

    I'm sure there are some more, maybe less severe ratings hits out there. Any the rest of you noticed any on your team?

    Wish I could remember who we noticed last night while doing the Mock Draft. Someone has a OT taken in the 6th round of the initial draft and he is down to around 30/30 or 35/35 I think. He is getting a couple million. Nice, I can remember everything about it except what frickin' team it was..... :roll:

        He looks like he was just a bad pick by a scout. Played in all 16 games last season and his ratings were just as bad then.

            OK, just pick on my team then. Let it be known that I did not draft this bum, he was inherited. I've been contemplating cutting him, but he's got 3yrs left on his lottery contract. Hutson's ratings took a big hit. Just my luck, that's all

              Hey, don't worry about it. It's not that uncommon of a thing. Linemen have always seemed to be overvalued during dispersal drafts. Add that to the fact that not all scouts are too keen on scouting o-linemen and you've got a recipe for disaster. The contracts that go with these drafts can be downright brutal too. Some guys have definitely lucked out with contract lengths.
