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

1) i hate to call any sophomore a bust if he is contributing in any way. This is plain stupid. If they get kicked off the team without seeing the field sure, but calling a kid a bust when they have half their career to play is idiotic.

2)Dont' compair stats unless your going to compare all of them
Sure they have comparable yardage and TD, but the number of touches is astromoicaly different
Shep has had 38 receptions, and 77 carries to amass the same amount of yards RR on only 44 rec. So 700+ yards and 5 tds on 44 touches is a lot more impressive than 700+ yards and 5 tds on 115 touches.

3) Rueben Randle became a starter his freshmen year, and it is widely believed that he suffers from lack of quarterback play.
Shep ha moved positions and is taking some time to adjust, which leads some to think that means he is a failure as the QB we have been waiting for we thought eh was gonna be, and thus a failure overall.
