Reggie Bush is not what we expected!!!

I loved Al Micheals comment last night. 'The Houston fans are saying right now, "What the "Hades" were we thinking?"'

Which they had at the time of the draft. You can't predict Davis going out for the year...

I agree. With a healthy Davis, they didn't need Bush. This is definitely a case of hindsight.

Why? I think their offense would be greatly improved and it would take a ton of pressure off of the O'line and Carr.

 

Maybe. Maybe not. Regardless, their W-L would not be much different. Reggie is not THAT good.

I agree he'll never be a "between the tackles" RB but he brings a special element to the Saints' offense, yes Drew Brees is a legit MVP canidate but I don't think the Saints are in this positon without 25.

Everything I read on fantasy sights said Davis's knee wasn't healthy and that he wasn't going to be very dependable this year.

Reggie Bush has an impact on the defense as soon as he puts one foot on the field.

 

I'd love to see what Cincinnati's offense would look like with Reggie Bush.

Neither is Mario Williams. Reggie Bush is pretty good, he might have even better numbers if he got a majority of the carries. There is no doubt that having a home field, a productive (to say the least) QB, and a very surprising 7th round WR contribute to an improvement by the Saints. But so too does having Bush. No matter what you say he is being used in a very wise way. The Monday night game against Atl early in the year every time they faked giving him the ball the entire defense it seemed focused on him and left other options wide open. He has also helped McCallister b/c he doesn't have to carry the ball 25-30 times a game. Plus he helped sell a lot of seats. That may or may not have helped the W-L, but he's IMO a far better option than Wali Lundy.

The more success Reggie has, the worse the Texans look and the more pressure on Mario Williams.

IMO he'll never be a "great running back." He can be a great receiver out of the backfield but so far he has not shown the ability to carry the ball consistently.

 

He is the ultimate 3rd down back. A great change of pace, maybe even worth the 1st-down-back salary that he gets.

 

However, I bet it would be tough to find the money to make a SuperBowl team while paying two running backs, because it seems that Bush needs an inside runner to complement him.

Throw in Vince Young as well. Probably more of a fan want in Houston than Reggie Bush.

I personally thought he wouldnt be good in the NFL just because of what style of play he had throughout college.
