never said that... just that to get a good "average" season expectation, proper analysis needs more than one season.

You don't let a bowler make one strike and presume that reflects his performance for the whole game.

And it might just be that once the kid WORKED hard enough to go pro, he felt the mission was accomplished.

Regardless, he just found out the hard way that experience counts for something, when you are on ANY field.

Man, Mo Clarett and Adrian Peterson ain't even in the same league...He was a good, not a great, collegiate running back...But the dude clearly had issues from day one...He never took any of this shit seriously, evident by the fact that he didn't work out...He was the frah-gilly, starting HB for an Ohio State team that stole the National Championship from Miami...He is better known for starting trouble than for running the football...

I never thought he was anything special...

Very...

I don't see what's the big deal over this dude..? He had one good season...He was/is out of shape...Compared to other problem child backs that were BEASTS son (Lawrence Phillips, Nebraska 1995, Freshman or Sophomore, gained 1700 yards) he stinks...

QUOTE(Lost Ghost)pathetic?

his skills were unmatched at his age...so he wanted to go to the NFL early. They wouldn't let him go back once he left...he made a poor showing....but then improved considerablly.

Who are you to call someone who got drafted to the NFL, after winning a National Championship in his only season at college pathetic?

We have every right. Who cares if he can do good one season in college. That doesn't matter. He showed that he's immature and tried to beat the system. It didn't work and he paid. Then he tried to show again that he could play when he got drafted and he didn't. He's doesn't produce. He brought it on himself
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"
