(S7) - PT 1 - Biggest Busts

[Mongoose87]

I’m going to make a controversial pick for biggest bust: Tight End Steven O’Sullivan.

I know he’s put up some impressive numbers since getting drafted, but the context in which he has done it is one in which a replacement-level player could shine. Look at the Otters’ roster: probably the quarterback in the league, in Boss, Yates, a very good running back, two great starting receivers in Phelps and Westfield and a solid if not spectacular offensive line. How could he not put up great numbers? One of Phelps and Westfield is going to draw double-coverage, and linebackers are going to be focused on stopping Yates. That leaves O’Sullivan in the ideal position to catch dump-offs, hot-reads and generally put up big numbers without challenge.

Everyone knows what has been said of his work ethic – he does the bare minimum, never stays late for practice, barely works out, hasn’t shown up to minicamp his entire career. If the guy wasn’t blessed with such natural talent he wouldn’t be in the league, because he has shown no improvement since joining. As is, with the roster he has around him, he should be setting records every week, not sitting at 4 TDs and under 600 yards.
