Taylor (outside the dynasty community) wouldnt come close to a TRich tier bust. Guy was a second round pick instead of 3rd overall. Closest we've got is LF.
Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.
Re: Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.
As far as RBs yeah I'd say LF. But there are high picks that bust every year

If he busts he'd comp better to kerryon or royce than TRich from an nfl standpoint. Sure the dynasty community might've thought he was the second coming of Barkley but the nfl didn't .Jigga94 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:57 amYes I realize that. Just funny he's automatically compared to one of the biggest busts ever.
Would be like calling all the bad QB Jemarcus

As for RB's that were elite athletes and were highly productive throughout college do we have any bust comps? Closest one I can think of is Derrick Henry, but he eventually broke out

Re: Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.
Well, we still don't know that Penny is a bust (he did look like he was breaking out last year before he tore his ACL; and he has averaged 5.3 ypc throughout his career).bjd5211 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 10:53 amRashaad Penny.

Penny didn't take the reigns until his Senior season at a non-power 5 conference school, San Diego St. competing with far inferior talent.
Re: Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.
PRODUCTION was still the same (more yards for Penny more TDs for Henry) and Penny ended up being a 1st round pick unlike Henry or JT.Sriracha wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 11:19 amNot at all, Henry became the workhorse as a Junior competing with 5 star talents at Alabama.bjd5211 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 11:10 amHe was just as productive as Henry.Sriracha wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 10:58 am

Re: Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.
Guess we’re just gonna have to disagree.
It’s the same reason I didnt punish Swift for playing behind Nick Chubb and Sony Michel, or Najee Harris at Alabama. Who youre competing against, while not a fool proof measure of talent, does need to be considered.
There’s also the fact that Henry wouldve posted 2 elite production seasons to Penny’s 1 if he played his Senior season, as well.

Re: Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.
Depends on what you think of as a high end athlete. Penny and Foreman both had great weight adjusted speed but not much in terms of leaping or lateral agility. Foreman suffered the achilles injury early on so it's hard to tell what could have been. Penny I think was being outplayed to some extent by Carson (for what they were being asked to do), then he had the ACL as well. Again, hard to determine but yes he was being outplayed on some level for more than a year. Guice is another one where ultimately he'll go down as a bust but for issues not related to talent level. Kevin Jones was a 227lb RB who ran a 4.38 and drafted in the 1st round, ultimately a bust but also could have been due to [foot] injuries. Trent Richardson is similar to these players as well in that leaping and agility is not recorded.
Ryan Mathews had an up and down career, ultimately not living up to the hype. Same with McFadden. Unlike Penny and Foreman, both of these players had above average leaping and agility to pair with their speed. Ben Tate is another hyper athlete drafted in the 2nd that didn't work out. Donald Brown. These are mostly off the top of my head, i'm sure there are more highly drafted hyper athletic rb's that have busted if i kept looking.
While being a hyper athletic early round pick and busting is not that rare, JT's resume is damn near bulletproof and it would be pretty rare for a player of his stature to be a total bust for non-injury related reasons.

Re: Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.
Kevin Jones, Ryan Mathews, D'onta Foreman, Darren McFadden (you could also add felix jones), Cadillac Williams and Donald Brown seem to be the closest to what I was asking for.Dynasty DeLorean wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 6:45 pm Depends on what you think of as a high end athlete.

Aside from Donald Brown, they all had debilitating injuries to accompany their career busts (I wouldn't consider Trent Richardson an elite athlete as the main reason he was jettisoned by the Browns is because he physically lacked burst)
seemed to have been a lot of them back in the early 2000's we could also include Reggie Bush -- Perhaps these busts have become less prevalent because of improvements in the medical field?

He flashes some things he also flashes poor vision and no patience often. He could still be something, I mean Rojo is finally looking like a good RB. Denying the chance he is gonna be a bust is growing drastically. He certainly looks nothing like the hype most had as the best RB in the draft bar none.
He may very well be a bust, but it is way too early to make that call based on a few poor games.
I mean sure, it's true. It's not a death knell. But it is far, far from ideal and we should definitely be focusing on the guys that have already broken out over the guys that have performed poorly but may one day, in a hail marry, break out.
