When do you go from considering him a star to a bust?

I doubt he would ever fall to the class of a bust.

He was drafted mid 2nd round, and has had solid production. I could name a couple mid 2nd round receivers who were busts, but really prefer not too. He had a bit of injury history I believe, and has performed well.

He may level out at below star level after his back injury- Ross Tucker said he was never the same after his. If it does then he ends up having a good, not great career in the NFL. He was never going to be HoF material, so you take the years you get out of him and be happy with it.
