Now I'm curious...why isn't he a bust? He didn't show the team enough to even get carries to relieve Parker. Furthermore, all of you morons argue how RB is the easiest transitional position to play with respect to the NFL from NCAA. I was fucking around for starters, but now I will argue my point. So start making points "you are moron" and "this thread is dumb as fuck" cannot justify why he is not a bust. Yes, I would consider Oden a bust, with respect to the loss of his contribution for the season.
Unless someone is out of the league, I generally wouldn't label any young player as anything before halfway through his second year if not the end of it.
Mendenhall is going to be great. He's very fast and agile for his size. I picked him up early in one of my dynasty leagues because he'll definitely be up there in a year or so.
Based on the aforementioned and your signature, you are irrelevant to me. Not saying you care, but at least I have piece of mind that you are ignorant, absurd, and your opinion means shit.
Mendenhall is a disappointment this season = yes. Mendenhall is a bust = no He's a young player that got hurt early in his first season. So obviously it's a disappointment. But the likelihood he comes back and plays well is high. He didn't injure his knee or ankle or anything that could give him long term problems. And the kid has obvious talent. If he weren't behind Willie Parker he'd probably would have been the starter.
