this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; LOL at Patrick Robinson being a bust. Not that I would expect strong insight from somebody writing for Yahoo Sports, but at least pretend to do your homework....

Re: Yahoo's take on our needs
Agreed. In order for someone to be a bust they'd have to really underperform in relation to the expectations the organization has/had for the said player. For example, the said player never making the active 53. Therefore, I would never call Robinson a bust. At least that's my opinion. Sent from my Z1 Compact using Tapatalk |

Also, a player that simply doesn't live up to the media's hype is not a bust. Reggie Bush didn't live up to his hype, but is hardly a bust. |

Re: Yahoo's take on our needs
Robinson had one back-and-forth year (rookie year to be expected), then one great year when he practically was our #1 cornerback. Then a crappy year when everybody stunk under Spagnuolo, so that gets thrown out. Then looked great last year before getting injured. I don't know how anyone would conclude "bust" from that.

Re: Yahoo's take on our needs
Robinson must stay healthy. Bailey will be knocking on the door.
