    Two electrifying TD returns.

    A near 3rd.

    And the Saints still lost.

    This is exactly why Reggie isn't a bust. He may be underperforming as a running back, but he is such a weapon for the Saints. Be it on special teams or receiving, teams must account for him at all times. The Saints need to run more tosses and sweeps with him IMO. Get that speed out on the perimeter.

    Didn't Automatica Grammatic kick some long FG's before missing the 46/47 yarder?

    In my opinion this is why he is a bust. You don't draft a return specialist that high, he is supposed to be a franchise running back and he is nowhere near that. When he starts performing at the position he was drafted to play I won't consider him to be a bust.

    He's also a fantastic receiver.

    He is also pretty good at RB when utilized properly. He isn't a bust. Teams account for him when he takes the field. If he was a bust, he wouldn't draw the attention he does when he is out there.

    Given what you know about him now, would you still take him #2?
