Won't be a total bust, but surely overhyped.

poor man's brian westbrook

He is not meant to be the main RB on any team, like how Deuce is with the Saints and LenDale White was at USC. When Deuce is back next year he will be much better than this season

Is Reggie Bush On the Fast Track to Bustville? No cuz I've watched teh SF 49ers and know what a fast track to bustville is and that is Alex Smith. Reggie has done more than Smith in his career.

Were the Texans Right?!? No cuz I still don't know who the Texans drafted. WHO? What has he done? I've at least heard AJ Hawk's name mentioned a couple of times this year.

I don't think he's headed in that direction. he's been playing injured for the past month. i think he and deuce will be in good form next year.

 

[grohl]

Good point, I would have NEVER thought that before this season.

 

[Shlong]

Don't know about bust but won't live up to the hype... he reminds me of Eric Metcalf.

what really hurts bush is guys like Ryan Grant coming out of nowhere and having break out seasons.

No one talks about you if you play for Houston. Mario Williams is having a very good, if not great, year. 46 or 48 tackles, 9.5 sacks with 3 more games to go. Could end up with around 60 tacks and 10-12 sacks by the time the season's over. That's certainly worth a 1st round pick in any year for a DE, which is more than can be said for some RB who can't break the 600 yd mark and has to fumble 8 times doing it.

I'm a little surprised with Bush though. I thought he'd do well. I thought he'd be like the bigger/faster/better version of Warrick Dunn.

Yup.

Bush can do great things, he just can't excel at any certain one in the Pro's.

The funny thing is that Westbrook was a third rounder(and almost 4th!).
The leagues rushing leader was undrafted (Fast Willie Parker).

Not even close to a bust. He was never ment to be an every down back. His numbers are bad this year, due to Duece being out. It was supposed to be a one-two punch, with those two. And then have Bush line up as a receiver, in the slot, direct snaps, etc. He is not ment to be behind the QB every play, and run the ball up the middle. Not to mention Bush has been playing hurt since late Sept, but has continued to play, and not made a fuss about it.

So much ignorance here on the boards, its astounding. :/

 

[RagingBITCH]

Saints had a lucky year last year. I'd wait another few years before calling him a bust, we need to see what he can really do.

He has 2305 yrds from scrimage in a two year period. He's basically averaging over 1152yrds per season.

How many WR or RB's average 1152 yrds per season are considered bust?

Not many, just the one's who were a no. 1 overall pick.

In my mind, the Texans' choice was always between Williams and V. Young. I think Williams is great but it'll be interesting to see how Young develops.
