Which player during the Shanahan years surprised you the most? (other than Morris lol)

I'd have to say Jordan Reed, I was not expecting him to be as good as he was right out of the gates.  In 2012 RG3, I thought he would be pretty good but he exceeded my expectations by a mile.

I'm going to go ahead and name Rob Jackson, the very reason that some people feel that Orakpo is replaceable.

And I'll also name Perry Riley. I know we drafted him in the 4th, but he came in and replaced McIntosh who was playing decent in my opinion, but it was nice.

I'll also name Kory L who in a similar way came in and replaced Dockery.

 

And I know he's hated here, but what about Tyler P. who came in and repaced Brown/Heyer?

Good:

Reed Doughty - our only secondary player who has never been afraid to tackle Brandon Jacobs(other then 21).

Garcon - one of the few players in the NFL that played even better once he got his contract.

 

Bad:

Leribeus - no heart to win a starting job, cares more about xbox then getting in shape, sad to think that Chad Rinehart will probably have a better career in the end which says something.

To me Shanny's brought in a lot of talent. However, The O-linemen have been completely garbage.  After watching the other teams O-linemen go to work I realize that we have a High school like Oline. We will never be anything short of mediocre without having one. The jury is still out on the drafted O linemen selected by MS. I'm hoping Compton, Hurt, ect. Can come in a contribute. Out side of Trent Williams no one else deserves to be starting in the NFL in my opinion
