Come in here and put yourselves on blast.

My dude is living the life...

 

[marionthebarberian]

with his expectations coming out..

hes a bust.

 

[dlo13]

He's not?

 

[M. Fresh]

hes not a bust
but he isnt what everybody expected when he was drafted

 

[illmatic34]

Just because he's doing good in the playoffs don't mean **$+...I don't think he's a bust but he's far from the player the Saints envisioned him to be.

.

 

[flasheightzero]

he's gonna get cut in the offseason

 

[kal ripped ken]

he is a bust. a handful of good performances doesn't change that

 

[fear the ibis]

The #2 pick in the draft and a Heisman winner yet he's just a role player on a SB team who disappears for halfs at a time yet he's not a bust?


F are you smoking?

 

[khoshabasfinest23]

He's still a bust. He's never even come close to rushing for 1000 yards. He receiving back who returns punts. If Teams knew this is what he would have turned out to be he would have been a 20-25 pick in the draft.

thats a good way of putting it actually

 

[shatterkneesinc]

still a bust

 

[N41D]

This again? Really?

 

[chester the cheetah]

Pierre Thomas > Reggie Bush.

 

[lil stevie728]

Living the life. Adam Archuleta is engaged to a Playboy Playmate isn't he? He's probably living the life, he's not a bust.

When you're a top pick like that, they expect you to be an All-Pro caliber player. Is it unfair to the player sometimes? Yeah but that's how it works. I wouldn't call him a bust though...to me bust = someone who isn't even in the league anymore and was never effective as a player, by my definition. Bush still is a huge weapon for that team when he's on. Career has been underwhelming so far but he's still a threat.

 

[MajinZuub]

He's not playing like a #2 pick and Heisman winner is he?
He's not even the starting RB on the team.

this

i remember people talking like he was gonna walk on water

 

[Trey Bantz]

He's not a bust? Pierre Thomas (undrafted) and Marques Colston (7th Round) have a much bigger role in that offense than he does.

Yup, he was advertised as a franchise back, yet he's nothing more than a role player who, like many other role players, has played exceptionally well in some games.
I say he is a lower caliber
BUST.
the highest caliber of course is jamarcus russell bust status.

 

[dman14]

wasnt he suppose to revolutionize the rb position?
he is a nice role player, change of pace type of play. but you dont draft him #2 to be a role player

That's a good way to put it.

He was drafted as a franchise RB, put is primarily a punt returner.

 

[downtown43]

he is a good player. IMO no good player can be called a bust.

 

[carlos tevez]

He's still a key player on one of the best teams in the league. His 50 receptions a year dont mean anything?

With so many weapons on that offense, not everyone is going to put up Pro-Bowl numbers.

I understand the argument that he did not live up to "#2 overall expectations" but he's still a productive player and a very valuable part of the Saints offense.

Not meeting expectations does not necessarily make you a bust.

Very well said.

Dude is in no sense of the imagination a bust. He isn't what we all thought he would be coming into the NFL, but he is an effective player for the Saints.

 

[supraturbo619]

He is a bust.  Pierre Thomas was today's best player for the Saints.
Another question is:  Where are the clowns that labelled AP the greatest back of all time prematurely?
