Barnes was a complete bust which was surprising. I don’t know what they saw in Dawkins to bring him back over McNichols last year. I didn’t see what they saw, but then I wasn’t at practices either.
When your team is built to ground and pound, you make sure you have a few on the roster that can do so. As of right now, we don’t....
The draft is going to be very different. The better scouting teams could really do well though.
Not sure an UDFA can be considered a bust..
Who remembers the game against the Raiders when Henry was running on one hamstring? A lot of those runs were completely unnecessary, due to not having a back up RB.
I like Evans, but let's not remember he's an unproven rookie RB. Talent wise, he looks the part and I can't wait to see what he brings to this team now and in the future.

If he was the lowest performing player at his position then yeah bust. I didn’t say draft bust. Any player can be a bust. It means you weren’t good enough plain and simple.
I disagree.
Sankey was a bust. Kalfani was just a failed experiment. Draft capital is a huge factor.
There is a difference between draft capital and ability. If you sign a free agent who fails, he was a bust. All “bust” means is that you couldn’t hack it. People are confusing expectation and success or failure. I don’t expect a UDFA to succeed and therefore don’t believe it’s wasting time to try him out. BUT... if he fails he was a bust. The term “bust” goes beyond sports and is a slang term for failure. Now if you simply define “success” as being signed for a tryout, then Barnes was not a bust. If instead, the expectation was that Barnes would stick and contribute, then he was a bust.
I suppose I was a bust too. I really wanted to be in the NFL when I was 10 and didnt end up making it.
Also, didn’t end up with a try out either I’m guessing. So, can’t be a bust unless you fail and you gotta try before you can fail. I didn’t realize this was such a Tricky subject.
I would be ok with that as well
Just screws me fantasy football wise, I have both
Idk if 4nett is for the boys
Seems like he might be a bad signing to sit around just to hold Henrys jock strap

It would take two Fournettes to hold it up.
I’m not sure how I feel about having Beasley and LF on the same team. You can only have two underachieving players in at a time.
How is a 1150 yd 4.4 yg avg. RB an underachieving one?
How can you justify a top 5 pick, whose old team declined the 5th year option, getting cut, isn’t an underachiever?
Depends what underachieving means I guess...stats wise he didn't (at least 2019), being the longterm answer at RB and whatever locker room issues there were, yes he failed.
Taking him at 4 over Mahomes and Watson was a huge mistake, that's not Fournette's fault.
Personally, I don’t think 1k as a running back on a run first team is much to talk about.
