Vince did win the Rookie of the Year award in 2006, so he did have one good season. That means he can never be as big of a bust as the #1 pick Ki-Jana Carter.

How are you still a bust if you get injured? Charles Rogers is a bust. Cedric Benson is a bust. Guys like that. If you get injured, how are you in control of that? I'll give you Blair Thomas, but not Carter.

Ki-Jana tore his ACL early while he was in the NFL. Many people tear their ACLs and come back from it and can still have productive careers. He ended his career with 1,100 yards and 20 touchdowns in 10 seasons as a #1 pick. I agree his best attribute was his speed and his torn ACL may have taken some of that speed away from him. Ki-Jana is not the same kind of bust as Curtis Enis and Blair Thomas because his was injury related, but he still played for 10 seasons, so that is a bust in my book.

And what 20 years ago torn ACLs didn't even exist, so people played with the injury all the time, right?

People were tough back then 20 years ago..they thought a torn ACL was a bruise, and just iced it. Now people dont play if they break a finger nail.
Well let me tell you, nLions1 is a big time friend of Janek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
