your comparison makes absolutely no sense.
Point I'm making.... He is still in the NFL and could turn his career around. Until then, he can't be considered a bust. He could possibly be a bust, this is probably his last year to turn it around and prove he's not.

As to the 2011 reference, I'm referring to people who jump the gun and think they can predict the future; as in LSU fans thinking they had the 2011 NC because they beat Bama in the regular season.

He's a bust for Cleveland and Indy, no matter what he does from here on out.

End of story

Tell me more about how Richardson ran for more yards than Jim Brown did in 1957, when the NFL season was 12 games

We'll just ignore the averaging over a full yard less per carry and the complete shitshow he followed that season with.

Richardson's best season is 3.6 ypc. That's just bad

I mean, he could, but right now he's hanging by a thread and it is fair to consider him a bust. The odds that he lives up to his #3 overall pick spot are slim to zero. He could become a league average back, and that'd be great for him, but there is almost no shot he ever lives up to his draft spot.

as a top 5 pick, as of right now, he is a bust until he proves otherwise. at his slot, he's expected to be an all-pro caliber player, not just stick around in the league as a journeyman.

You didn't make a point. That is literally not how anyone except you view the definition of "bust".

And I understood your example, I simply said it made no sense given the context of this weird debate.

He's a bust man, and your own fans except you admit as much. It's ok. We all counted Jamarcus as a bust while he was still playing too. You don't get to make up your own definition of a bust just because you don't want to admit a former Bama player didn't meet expectations.

Just go to google and type in "what is the definition of a bust in sports" and you will find tons of answers that you'd agree with if it weren't for this thread.
