He's the most talked about bust on this board besides maybe JaMarcus

Give him another year. I owned him in fantasy last year -- he wasn't so bad to own before the trade. After the trade he was basically worthless. I seriously dumped him for Rashard Mendenhall.

He's playing behind one of the worst OL in football, which definitely doesn't help. Donald Brown looked decent last year, though, so I think the scale is leaning towards "yes" on him being a bust. His vision is comically bad so far.


Brown knew the scheme. Richardson was obviously helpless out there. Maybe he has studied up, idk.

Tebow's up there, for sure

But I think TR gets more play around here.

LSU fans love to wallow in the misfortune of Bama players that whooped their asses.

Of the players that fit this criteria, TR was the earliest pick.

Sorry. Next time I'll say "Germans" and then we'll all have a big laugh.

He's trying to troll Bama fans so he gets a 21-0. Should be the answer to all trolls. To act like this thread was innocently made is a joke. Same as if I made a Sam Montgomery thread.

Again, congrats on 21-0. Bravo!

Lacy is a beast and Ingram is starting to win me over. I thought I would bring up the subject since I was watching the Saints/Colts game.

He wasn't all that bad his rookie year with the Browns.

He almost never sets up his blocks and is missing obvious holes that are created by the o line. It's weird to see him struggle this much because he was so good in college.

He needs to be at a team with a zone-blocking scheme. That, in my opinion, is the reason Lacy has had more success in the league than Ingram or Richardson.

Which was what, 2 games in or some shite like that?


I was so pumped last season when I got him in the 2nd round after picking Megatron with the 11th pick. Good thing that Bernard and Leveon Bell, which were both late picks, ended up working out for me because Richardson was horrendous. I still believe that if he played like he did in Cleveland his rookie year that I run away with my league last season.

I had:

WR Megatron
WR Vjax
FLEX Colston
RB Gio Bernard
RB Leveon Bell
QB Stafford
TE Gronk
K M Bryant
D Carolina
________
Rivers
T. Richardson - Should've been my flex
Harvin
M. Bennett


If only I could keep this roster for this year, outside of Richardson

Isn't zone blocking even more dependent on vision?
