Yahoo's take on our needs

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.

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.

Id even say thats a tad harsh. A bust to me is any early pick that is so bad they don't see any playing time and/or are out of the league in 2 or 3 years.

Jonathan Sullivan and JaMarcus Russell are busts.

Patrick Robinson (one pick from a 2nd rounder) is not even remotely a bust.

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.

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.

The same guy who thinks our top two team needs are on the defense...

I wouldn't say he's a disappointment either. Other than 2012 when the whole defensive scheme was whack and everybody stunk, he's been just about exactly what you would expect from a young corner.

Robinson must stay healthy. Bailey will be knocking on the door.
