Let's start a pool as to how long they'll wait before they announce his career is over.

I say: THREE WEEKS.

Another high draft pick in the bust column for Uncle Ted. Good luck to you, Datone. Neck injuries and the NFL don't mix well.

Why call him a bust? An injury is different then a bust.
A bust means the guy sucked, which I don't believe he did.
Injuries can happen to anyone at any time.
Besides, I don't know how serious it is. Has anyone heard anything?

You guys go ahead and split hairs between bust and injuries. If a player drafted in the first three rounds isn't an every down player contributing every game he is a bust. You want to categorize the Justin Harrells, Nick Perrys, Derrick Sherrods, Datone Jones differently than the Jamal Reynolds and Tony Manderich's that's your prerogative. I lump them all together as failed draft picks.

Its not splitting hairs.

If a player busts out of the NFL its because they didn't have the talent to play in it, and the GM who drafted him screwed up.

If a player suffers a major injury and is forced to retire it wasn't due to a lack of talent and unless the report on said player was that he likely was going to suffer a major injury, said GM should receive zero fault.

The world isn't as black and white as you'd like to portray it. For example if we're going by your harsh pass/fail analysis how would you classify players who've passed away prematurely? Guys like Joe Delaney or Len Bias who would have been mega-stars but died too soon, are they busts? GMs screw that one up too?
