again the premise of this thread is about let downs and not straight up busts.
Right, but it's not just letdowns...it's largest letdowns. Do I think Reggie's career has been somewhat of a letdown based on the hype? Of course. But when I see "largest letdown," I'm thinking guys at the top of that list. And as much as I hate him, I don't think he belongs there. It was impossible to live up to his hype, but like someone else said, people questioned Reggie as a #1 RB from the start, so how can that really be a letdown that he never panned out as a #1 guy?

He still had plenty of people supporting him as an every down back then. Gale Sayers was a name mentioned in comparison to reggie. At worst people saw him as a 1,000 yd rusher, 1,000 rec yds, and a dynamic returner. He hasn't even really been close to that guy.
