A bust is a player who doesn't play up to the level expected with the draft selection. He has not played up to expectations as the #4 overall pick as a RB. Your individual expectations, as mine were, were much lower for Fournette and I, like you, hated the RB selection. The FO did indeed massively overvalue him, unfortunately it doesn't change the expectations overall for the #4 overall pick... an elite talent... blue chip guy... franchise type player. Its because of his draft selection and overall play... he unfortunately.. is a bust.

So he was a bust when we selected him...

We selected Bryan Anger in the 3rd... a punter is never going to live up to that draft slot just based on positional value. The front office overvaluing him and taking him sooner than his position dictates he should does not make him a bust lol. Dude had 10 TD's and 1,050 yards in 13 games and legit carried the offensive side of the ball in our AFCCG run last year ... we don't win either Pittsburgh game without him last year. We don't win the Seattle game without him converting a 3rd and 10 down the stretch (there's a 10+ yard rush that people are so on him about; he also got the line to gain on 3rd down in a 4 minute offense when they knew he was getting the ball ... gee its like he can actually rattle off some chunk gains with some blocking)

It's like last year never happened, people are just SOOOO mad that we didn't get a QB bc of how well Mahomes (and to a way lesser extend Watson) are playing this season WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. And apparently that's Leonard Fournettes fault, never mind that you're a good player who damn near brought us to the super bowl; "because you've missed time with some injuries, have no blocking due to injuries, and aren't putting up 2k yards all while the QB i wanted instead is playing well you must be a bust" Sophomoric and Myopic thinking. If we get all our starters back from injury and inject talent into the offense via QB etc. .. people are gonna act like they loved Leonard the whole time and he was a great pick if we return to the playoffs. Book it.
