Kansas City Chiefs Sign Peyton Hillis to a 1-Year Deal

All, NFL Stephen Douglas March 14th. 2012, 9:32pm

Peyton Hillis, a fan favorite way back in 2010, has left Cleveland to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs. Hillis will get a fresh start after signing a 1-year deal with the Chiefs worth $3 million today. I’ll have to double check this with Mr. Lisk, but Hillis has to be one of the greatest one-year wonders in modern NFL history.

In 2010, Hillis rushed for 1177 yards, caught 61 passes for 477 yards and scored 13 total touchdowns. Those totals dwarf the totals from his other three seasons in the NFL. Last season he battled injuries and averaged 3.6 yards per carry, but the magic was gone and Cleveland was done with the man we lovingly called The Albino Rhino / Predator / Thundercock / Avalanche.

I’m trying to remember if Barry “Cocaine” Word was a one year or two year wonder. I think Mike Anderson’s one good year with the Broncos may qualify. I need Lisk to move some numbers on this.

Barry Word was definitely a one-year wonder. Christian Okoye was close to a one-year wonder in his own right. John Settle was always one of my favorite for this topic

If last night taught us anything, it’s for everybody to bet all of their money on Cal to cover in the second half. Or maybe the lesson for tonight is that the perceived difference in the quality of the Big East and the Pac-12 (still weird) is pretty close to the real difference between the two.

KC Resident Says:

Okoye had two pro-bowl years separated by an injury year. And then nothing after the second pro-bowl. I don’t think he makes the cut for this discussion. I’m willing to consider arguments against this, but I think Word is a better candidate.
/Bored. Waiting for the tourney tomorrow.

Cal is just embarrassing. They look like they are sleep walking through the game. It might be a play-in game, but those teams should be hungry to win. VCU proved last year that the play-in game isn’t just a throw away.

Cal scored 5 pts in the first half in a game against ND last year. So this is an improvement.

Oh, and Timmy Smith is the greatest one year wonder ever. Or, make that one game wonder.
204 yds rushing and 58 yds receiving in the 1988 Super Bowl for the Redskins.
He had 470 yards (on 155 carries for a 3.0 ypc) in the regular season in 1988. He also had 132 yards on 35 carries for the rest of his career.
That, my friends, is the Encyclopedia Brittanica definition of a one year wonder.

Oh, kids. I let my six year old to pick a bracket in my office pool ($5.) His Final Four is KU, KSU, Mizzou, and Duke. The teams I routinely curse out during the season. Imprint on his young mind.

I was gone at the time, but TBL reposted a blind item that Mark Sanchez and KU are gay for each other. And Sanchez and that Heros chick was a fraudy choky thing to hide Sanchez’s gayness. Or something like that. I was busy and skimmed the comments.

kc, i have no chance at legitimacy because i have too many kids to watch sports much, so they know about sports, but not schools and only chicago pro teams. my own bracket has mizzou beating michigan. three of the kids had legit teams in regional finals–mizzou, kansas and uk, but all were bested by powerhouses like liu-b and the jackrabbits (one of the ff)

Not that surprised Hillis didn’t fit under Pat Shurmur.
Pat Shurmur is an Andy Reid West Coast offense guy. No need for a battering ram like Hillis.

Picking against Temple is not a bad idea. Not an overpowering 5. South Florida definitely could make a run in that bracket.

Oh, and Hillis is not a one year wonder. A guy who goes for 1100 yards from scrimmage and 13 TD’s while splitting time with Jamaal Charles is not a one year wonder. I predict that Hillis will be a popular dude in KC, get his head right, and have a much better year. It was never right with the new coaching staff.
