Ashton Jeanty: All-Time Bust

[Rat]

Sure looking like it.

After a 10-carry, 30-yard effort today, the massively overrated draft bust, who was always an unquestionably stupid pick, has now averaged worse than 3.6 yards per carry in each of his past eight games, and 3.2 ypc or worse in each of his past six. He has rushed for more than 63 yards only once this season, in a 138-yard game against the Bears where he had 20 carries for 71 yards (3.7ypc) outside of one 64-yard TD where I assume he was untouched because he basically falls if you breathe on him.

He was overrated as hell in college too. Boise never played anybody and inflated his stats with a ridiculous workload in an embarrassingly-transparent attempt to win the school a Heisman. Fortunately, the Heisman committee saw through the vain attempt and rightfully gave the award to Travis Hunter.

Pete deserves better than this.

Raiders are fun to watch though

 

[Seahawkfan80]

I disagree. But I have a willingness to learn. I think in the right system, he would be fantastic. Et Al Shawn Alexander. The raiders suck and need more than one savior. And I dont mind that they suck. In fact they can suck a lot more in my opinion. AFC and well, they suck.

 

[Cyrus12]

Damn I drafted him to my fantasy team with the 1 pick...epic error...

Pete sealed his own fate bringing Geno in to the fold. Its been a disaster.

Jeanty isn't the first hugely hyped player who has failed due to being drafted by a bad team with a high draft pick, nor will he be the last. Those yardage stats aren't all that bad. Our RBs averages less than that but we have been winning. Winning makes a big difference.

Pete isn't the GM. I'm sure he influenced Spytek, but Mark Davis, Brady, etc should have nixed it.

Charbonnet is overrated too, but we didn't waste the #6 overall pick on him. They had Membou sitting right there for them.

 

[Pickly]

Ehhh Saquon was largely a disappointment until last season. Drafted into a bad team with a bad situation.

That being said, it’s always buyer beware when drafting RB’s so high. Usually it’s bad teams looking for a home run and it rarely transpires into long term success. Reggie Bush is a prime example.

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Id like to see him behind an oline that isnt a du.pster fire before judging. Hes playing behind guys like stone Forsythe

All time bust?... All time bust?... Dude the kid is a rookie playing on a horrible team that picks top 10 every year... if you're joking, or not this is garbage bullshit in my opinion... You obviously don't know football..

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Come on Frank. Rat and I don't get along much, but he knows a ton about football.

 

[Frank12]

All time bust soul?.. Come on bro... no way

If Jeanty was a FA in 2026, I would sign him to the Hawks in a heartbeat. The Raiders suck Bronco's testes.

 

[Seahawker]

Jeanty Boise State, 6th overall pick.
Holani Boise State, undrafted free agent.

 

[NoGain]

Jeanty sure seemed like a PC pick to me. Before the draft, I was 50/50 on the Raiders taking him.

Raiders are fun to watch though

We don’t know what he could do on a decent team. I have only seen a couple of their games, but I think they gear the defense to stop him, since they don’t have much other offense.

 

[JPatera76]

Boise state RB? The guy that was Holanis backup? .. I mean saying that.. it would make sense

 

[SoulfishHawk]

All time bust soul?.. Come on bro... no way

I didn't say he was. I'm saying Rat knows plenty about football. My comment isn't even about Jeanty.

I believe Holani was drafted a year before Jeanty. So Jeanty basically replaced Holani if I recall.
