One season cannot tell you enough about a player. But how they do perform is a guideline of what they are capable of. I dont think that he will be a bust, he got a 1,000 yards last year. Lets also remember that a 1,000 yards is not really that big of a deal any more, its 59 yards a game. If he stays healtly he will perform, maybe 1,200 yards?? If these injuries are reallly not that serious then he will be a good #2. But if those problems linger throughout the season, then he will not come close to his potential #'s and be considered a bust to many. But if Priest, SA, or Deuce get hurt and miss some games, they will not perform like a "stud" or a 1st rounder, will they be considered a bust or will the excuse of them being hurt overshadow the bust label? Anyone can get hurt at anytime and miss games, I dont think that that is a bust, thats unlucky. Now if C. Dillon plays 17 healty games and gets 987 yards and 3 TD's, that s a bust.
