Shep is not a bust, but using his stats is a bit much. He got more than half (115 out 226 yards) in the first two games.
The problem was that teams realized after those two games that JJ was useless as a passing QB and Crowton was calling predictable plays.
So while you want to try and say his yardage isn't comparable, you have to realize Shep was being thrown screens most of the time, while Randle got deeper passes on a regular basis.
We'll see what Shep and Randle do these next two years, but they are neither in any way a bust.

It's really amazing. Shep, a starter, is to many a bust whereas his recruiting classmates like Loston and Ford are given a pass. I can only guess it is because he is someone the coaches put in front of the mic and because he got a lot of hype preseason.
A bust is Al Woods. Tough to say anyone on the roster is a bust right now. Arguably JLee is as a top 10 QB prospect who failed as a starter and couldn't wrestle the job back from Jefferson despite the latters struggles. But that would be a marginal argument when compared to Woods. Davenport is headed towards bustville but it is too soon. Ironically, isn't he the same vintage as Shep?

Do you think his stats are any way effected by the QB he has been dependent upon to get passes to him ?

RS = the most underused football talent in the history of LSU football. Okay, I exaggerate, but the point is that it is hard to be labled a bust when you get so few touches.

Most here got their football knowledge from video games. They fail to understand the physical and mental maturity needed in real football.
