Why is Shep often called a bust, but not Randle?

Randle will be a high draft choice...Shep won't at this point

Because half the people here are stupid.

:stopmakingsense:

well poor qb play obviously contributed to Randle's lack of production and I guess you could say the same for Shep even though he's not really a "true" wide receiver, but either way, I don't see why people expect so much from players during their first 2 years. I mean sure they're 5 star recruits but still...they need time to develop.

First of all, im not saying either is a bust. Not after just 2 years.

But plenty of Rantards say "Shep is a bust, blah blah blah".

yet Randle is the next 'superstar' at LSU.

Only a fool looks for logic in the hollows of a Rantard mind.

Why? Because anyone who understands football can see that Randle is a true receiver with exceptional ability. Shepard was not a WR in high school but played QB and was expected to play QB at LSU. However, Shepard does not have the arm and size to play QB at the SEC level so he was moved to WR to hopefully take advantage of his athletic ability. Despite his athletic ability, Shepard cannot catch the ball fluidly because he is not a natural receiver and, as a result, he has struggled..

Randle's mediocre numbers have had much more to do with the ineffectiveness at offensive coordinator and QB than any lack of effort and ability on his part. Shepard is nowhere near the category of Randle as a receiver.

If you doubt what I am telling you, then watch who plays at the next level. It will not be Shepard.

Who had the most yards per carry in 2009 their true freshman year? Shepard has dropped the ball some, but not that much more than others. Please provide how many drops he's had compared to others. I have followed Shep very closely. "Percy Harvin"? He was recruited as a QB and after sitting out all of the Florida game where we had no offense he went to the coaches. Im not knocking Randle but he hasn't set the world on fire either. I think it was bad QB, OC, and Mainly head coach fault for their lack of success! Shepard should have never sat out 2 games in 2009!

Neither is a bust. That's just stupid. RS has had to learn an entirely new position at the highest level of college football without a stable QB capable so far of getting the ball to him consistently. RR is a great receiver but you have to get him the ball more and in better places at better times. These are going to be great players before they leave LSU.
