biggie. Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) After an amazing rookie season, Barkley sadly has fallen off a cliff due to injuries. Where does he rank among all-time busts? Edited September 16, 2021 by biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 He’s not even Top for running backs. I’m looking at you Ki-Jana Carter and Trent Richardson (Carter had a devastating knee injury unfortunately). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeotheLion Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 He's had 2 decent years and 1 injury plagued year. We'll have to see how he recovers from the injury. Picking a RB #2 is never going to be ideal but what helps is he'll always be linked to Darnold who also didn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... a Torn ACL could happen to anyone. It's really hard to sit here and compare him to other busts who failed simply because they sucked. But how do we even know he's a bust? Over 1400 YFS in the two seasons he was healthy and his rookie season is one of the best I've ever seen from an offensive player. Maybe let's wait and see how he rebounds from his injury beyond one week of football before we call him a bust. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 id hardly call him a bust, but this is why you dont take a RB with the #2 pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnobili Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 he was overdrafted by virtue of being a RB... but i think its way early to call him a bust since he's actually been a dynamic player when healthy. still 16 games to go 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Yeah, he's had injuries, but he's also been on one of the biggest jokes of a franchise for the past half decade plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 One great season, one good season, one season injured. How is that a bust? Why’re we talking like Saquon is done? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3MVP Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 He’s not a bust they were just dumb for drafting a RB number 2 overall when you had no QB and no defense. It’s going to be one of the reasons the GM is going to be fired at the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lark25 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Its not like he sucks. Wait and see if he can come back to close to pre injury level. Hes not like T Rich. That guy kept getting chances but just couldn't deliver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
