crap...dude seems to think his job is to just get to a spot three yards behind the LOS...cause he gets there and just stops.

Im disappointed... I defended the guy the first couple years because of his age and the obvious talent...

but, we showed him he could collect a check from the training room and I guess thats the career he chose.

Tough injury luck but he’s probably just not good. I’m not sure he’s a 2nd rounder without his brother already having been good.

Brother he has been here for 3 yrs and just got dominated in a preseason game.
The kid tore all three ligaments in his knee after an ok rookie year playing in all 17 games. He played 8 total in the two years after. That is not a bust, that is unlucky with an injury with a "we will never know".

Call it whatever you want

A bust to me is someone that comes from high draft stock and has zero to minimal production. He fits that definition to the letter.

Time to move on

right. The "reason" for the bust doesnt have to be lack of ability or work ethic...aand the reason is irrelevant in the end.
as far as our investment goes..it was a bust

If Fernando Mendoza was hit by a bus tomorrow and died, would you call him a bust? According to your definition, he would be.

“Bust” refers to the ROI of the draft pick. Whether they bust because of bad injury luck, not having the work ethic, off field issues or not being talented enough etc is a separate conversation.

I say we wait until the end of the preseason before writing Ojulari off. The guy had a horrific knee injury and will no doubt be rusty out of the gate. Glad he played as much as he did on Thursday & hope he continues to get playing time. I’ll leave it up to the coaching staff to figure this out.
