re: Is Tre Mason officially a bust?

He was so damn dumb (or scared to play against the best defensive players) he picked the USFL over the NFL.

Ummm...I believe it was the money? The NFL would not/could not draft him as a senior then, the USFL did and threw a boatload of money at him.

NFL stats once he USFL folded:

632yds / season
4.69 TD's / season

You don't know what you are talking about. He played in the NFL from 1986 to 1997. That's 11 seasons, MUCH more than the average NFL running back today. he was so highly thought of that the Cowboys traded him to the Vikings for half their team and most of their draft picks for the next several years. And this was after playing 3 years in the USFL. One year the Cowboys gave him the ball 361 times. 14 Professional seasons. Not bad.

Walker gained 8,225 rushing yards, 4,859 receiving yards, and 5,084 kickoff-return yards.[49] for 18,168 total combined net yards, ranking him second among the NFL's all-time leaders in total yardage as of his retirement

What about Herschel Walker?

Walker earned 3 Super Bowls for the Cowboys.

Mason isn't a bust like Richardson.
