To claim he is a bust is absurd. Remember, his rookie year (last year) he ran for 950 yards, 11 rush touchdowns. He caught 367 yards with 1 touchdown. And he missed one game, he could've easily got over 1,000 rushing yards. That was with broken ribs, too. That's pretty dang impressive as a rookie.

 

Has he lived up to his billing as a Colt yet? Nope, definitely not. But to claim him to be this big bust, that's something he's not, yet.

 

If you watch the Colts play, it's really weird. I know, definitely on this forum, I'll get ragged for this but if you watch when Richardson gets the ball it almost always with a defender meeting him in the backfield. Now how can I explain why Donald is doing so much better? I can't. I don't know.

 

I'm still hoping he returns to his rookie form, and it might not be this year, but I have a feeling he will in future years (with an offseason & decent o-line ahead of him). Time will tell.
 

As a Jaguar fan we've learned many painful lessons, and here's the 1st you one you should learn.

 

1.) When you have to argue why player X isn't a bust, he's usually a bust.
