Trent Richardson has shin injury
May 30, 2013

BEREA, Ohio -- Not quite into his second NFL season, Browns running back Trent Richardson has already undergone knee surgery, broken some ribs, hurt his ankle and strained a muscle in his shin.

He's been battered and bruised, but Richardson is confident he'll be able to stay on the field this year and the remainder of his career.

Well refresh my memory but was TR called a bust because of an injury or during a year that he was injured?

As a matter of fact numerous LLLLLLLLUSERS have declared every Alabama player drafted to be a bust... over and over, as nauseum, continually without stopping, regardless of performance, injury, history, or stats.

For instance...did you know that Mark Ingram is a complete bust? Never mind that he is in his eighth season as a RB in the pros...this according to the Tr? Well LLLLLLLLSU rangers advertise themselves to be good at sniffing out busts. Fournette is looking like one now...

As a Saints fan, I can tell that for the first couple years MI was below average.

Compare the two after their rookie year.

It took Mark Ingram six years to rush for a 1000 yds in a season.
The Saints had so much invested in him they decided to just be patient as they got all the gump out of him.

Derrick Henry is also a bust by your own standards. He has yet to rush for over 750 yds. Former Heisman winner. Sad. Pathetic even.

TJ Yeldon (I call him Twinkle Toes) also has never run for over 750 yds and is basically just a change of pace back.

So by your standards Fournette is a bust coming off an injury in his second year. Correct?

That would make Richardson, Ingram, Lacy, Yeldon and Henry all busts too. That's why they call bama DBU (Draft Bust U.)!

Yes. He padded his college stats against the worst rush defenses in football. FACT!!!

He's been injured nearly all of this year, but why did you put up fake stats for his rookie season? He didn't have that many carries.

Fournette strikes me as a Darren McFadden type guy: He will have flashes of being a very good player, but he will have injury problems that will plague him.

Maybe that won’t continue, but that seems to be how things have started for him.

I dont understand the disdain and the hatred that Alabama fans still harbor towards him. Like he's a shitty person or something. He seems like a genuine guy off the field.

He's, at best, the eighth best player at his position (which happens to be the least valuable position on offense or defense) in that draft and they spent a top 5 pick on him; even worse they passed on two potential franchise QBs. He's absolutely a bust.
