warriorzpath 12-09-2009, 12:21 PM Landry's not playing great right now and didn't help when the redskins defense allowed the big plays. But he is not a bust. A bust is a player that is expected to be great, but doesn't contribute at all. Landry contributes to this team.
He needs to make some major adjustments to his game at FS, but it's too extreme to call him a bust.

being selected 6th overall means alot more than just contributing, if he doesn't improve alot next year then he will be a bust because we could have gotten alot more of a contributor with that pick

Some recent busts for the redskins were Taylor Jacobs, Desmond Howard, Heath Shuler, Brandon Lloyd, and Adam Archuletta. I don't think Landry is in that category. I understand that you don't think that he's playing well, but I think you use the word- bust - too lightly.
wilsowilso 12-09-2009, 12:55 PM This is the first time I have ever heard the "where was the help argument" to defend a free safety from his absolute number one responsibility.
It's quite simply one of the worst football related arguments I have ever seen in all my life.
Maybe Albert Haynesworth should have given
Laron "Responsibilty is not what I do" Landry help over the top.
Landry is quite simply the most undisciplined player in the entire NFL.
Please put him at SS or trade him. Right now he is a massive liabilty to the team.

I think alot of folks suffer from a very loose interpretation of what bust really means.
mlmdub130 12-09-2009, 12:59 PM if he plays like this next year and doesn't learn from his mistakes, then he will be a bust and i'm not using the term to lightly
out of the 2007 1st rounders there are 8 probowlers 6 were selected after landry, including a cornerback and a safety
not to mention adrian peterson was drafted right after him
i'm not sayin he is a bust right now, but if he doesn't make vast improvements by next year you bet your ass he is a bust
He can continue on his current course and he will never be considered a bust, sorry. Busts don't rack up 12 tackles, 1 sack, and 3 pass defenses in a game. If he was a bust he wouldn't even be on the field.

Correct.
He's far from a bust. He played very well overall in that last game except for the big plays he gave up.
He's undisciplined and a little inconsistent, but nowhere close to being a bust. For every bad play he gives up or mistake he makes, he'll have 10 good ones that go unnoticed.
mlmdub130 12-09-2009, 01:12 PM i'm considering the pick a bust, yeah landry is a damn good player, needs coaching but pretty damn good, but as far as the pick is concerned it will be a bust if there isn't vast improvement next year.
he is a middle of the pack saftey in the nfl right now, being selected in the top ten he should be better.
if he had been selected in the second round or even in the high 20's this wouldn't even be a question right now
People generally have an over-inflated view of other team's players, and are overly critical of our own guys. I think this is definitely the case with Landry. Someone recently said he's not even a top 30 safety? I mean, really? I would love to hear the list of 30 guys who are better than him.
