Bust. Faking an injury clearly.
 
I'm a little confused by the OP here... was he playing poorly before his injury? If it's just that he's injured, that doesn't make someone a bad pick any more than Robinson or Donald would suddenly become a bad pick if they got hurt.
 
As someone else said in a thread they started, we're gonna need a replacement for Chris in the fairly near future. Let's give him the normal 3 years before we say we dodged a bullet. Although like I've already stated, I'll take a premier DT over a premier DE any day.

Well it's just that he's only played four games so maybe all the injury concerns were correct. Where there is smoke there is fire, at least it seems so in this case. Could still turn out to be fantastic, but I'm stoked we got an excellent DL guy PLUS GRob.
If I was a Texan fan I'd be scared to death right now that Clowney might be a bad pick, because of all the talent they could've had instead.

Okay. That makes sense now. Thanks for explaining. :)
 
It was a pre-existing injury to the meniscus that he had before the combine, and that he and the Texans knew about apparantly. If thats the case, I think he should have had surgery before the season and rehabbed it rather than playing on it making it worse etc and then everyone calling you a bust for it. But then maybe he wouldnt have gone no 1 overall....so I dont blame him too much for it. Texan's must just have gambled that his long term upside was worth 1 season at least.

Do you know if it has long term implications from playing on it like other injuries or is a meniscus different? I can't imagine that they would put him at risk after picking him #1 that would be insane.
 
I'm happy with the way it turned out,Donald is already showing that he will be a star.
 
Can we officially call him a bust? But in reality...
