BigCatCountry continues to try and prop up Alualu as a solid player

Quote:People in this thread label him a bust.  Can you give me your example of a bust?

 

My examples would be guys like Matt Jones, Ray Jay Soward, Hugh Douglas in Jax......Alualu has consitently been on the field and has made some good plays.  How is that a bust?
 

Bust - Draft position plays a big role in whether or not a player is a bust. Other than kickers, I wouldn't consider anyone drafted in rounds 6 or 7 a bust, and rounds 4 and 5 only if there was an obvious alternative pick who ended up better. There is a lot of expectation on top ten picks, and those who fall short are rightly labeled bust.


 

Useless - No player is useless. If nothing else, a player will provide someone for teammates to practice against. Being 'not useless' proves nothing.


 

Solid - I'd define 'solid' as an average starter. A backup is not solid unless he would be an average starter on another team.


 

Good Plays - For the defensive line, a stop late in the game that prevents a loss (stuffing a 4th and 1 play for example). Or a sack by beating the OL quickly (as opposed to a coverage sack, or one where the QB falls down or runs out of bounds and the defender just happened to be closest). Or blocking a pass, especially if it ends up being intercepted. The only good play I remember from Alualu was an impressive sack in his very first preseason game. Maybe you can share your memories of other good plays.
