Seriously, he didn't step into a "feature" back role, so you can't expect 1500 rushing yards and 30 TDs. He is a multipurpose threat that I'm sure the Saints were happy to take when Texans "management" passed him over. I smell sour grapes.

I just seen that he was a texan fan and a dumb 1 at that haha

KentuckyFan#1 | 08/27/07, 10:33 PM

Just look at the 88 rec's. Nuff said.

PeavyFan: Voters=IDIOTS | 08/27/07, 10:35 PM

I HOPE NOT !!! HE'S MY FEATURED RB IN ONE OF MY FANTASY TEAMS .......Besides....Does'nt 3.6 X 3 = a First Down every 3 carries ?
Whaddya want from the guy

Zags4final4 | 08/27/07, 10:43 PM

well, 3.6 isnt good, but the receptions more than make up for it

Nomarfan: Vacation | 08/27/07, 10:47 PM

I could easily see Reggie Bush being the next Marshall Faulk. However New Orleans won't win anything unless they fix that leaky defense.

TradeAngelos | 08/27/07, 11:06 PM

he actually had 9 td's total

nickb23 | 08/27/07, 11:07 PM

WELL, the reason he was 3.6 was the TERRIBLE start to his rushing career at the beginning of the season, but as the season wore on he improved steadily and (if I remember correctly) in the last seven or so games he had a 4+ YPC. Also 88 receptions for 742 yards is pretty good especially when you look at the overall picture of 1,300+ total yards and 9 TDs he did pretty well for the NON featured back...

Bush has got skillz

The12thMan | 08/27/07, 11:21 PM

Bush wasnt a top five rookie.
Colston
Young
Leinart
Cutler
Hawk
Wimbley
Addai
Hester
Jones-Drew
these guys all have a good case for having abetter season than Bush. He is totally overrated.

Ok no comment

Reggie Bush was one of the worst punt returners last year in yards per return. He was one of the worst Rbs in terms of ypc.

You loyal Bushies are idiots if you think he was a top 5 rookie last year. He was pathetic running the ball, so they designed ways to throw him the ball more just so he wouldn't be called a complete bust. He only run the ball well in 1 game all season(that counted for more than 1/5 of all of his rushing yards).

He is a glorified slot WR and nothing more.

And Millen, if he would have went to the Texans he would have been a feature back and he would have failed miserably. He went to a team with a great offense, and cherry picked a ton of TDs in 1 game against the 49ers.

mikeyfarley | 08/27/07, 11:38 PM

the reason for his low punt return yards per return was the amount of times he called fair catch, i believe it was around 3 or something amazingly low, so a lot of times, he got hammered before he could go anywhere.
What will make Bush a better football player is to realize his limits and perform according to that, not try to win games by himself

Nomarfan: Vacation | 08/28/07, 12:05 AM

Well then he's an idiot for not calling the FC

Bio1590 | 08/28/07, 12:25 AM

Or he's just trying to do too much...

Big Ben68 | 08/28/07, 12:34 AM

If you look at it from a pure numbers perspective Bush had a good rookie year maybe okay by Denver standards. I like to look at him from both a number and a matchup perspective so in that sense I dont hink he's overrated. Its not always about the numbers but numbers do tend to help...He created alot of mismatches and drew alot of attention opening up other aspects of the offense.

Hart and Henne | 08/28/07, 12:39 AM

i think he brought a lot to the field in the way of EXCITEMENT!

SOCALGAL | 08/28/07, 12:54 AM

Would anyone argue with me the fact that Bush could be the new LT - Shaun Alexander ? The guy has phenomonable ability ( damn that was a cool word ) ....whether the Ofensive line is bad ....he can and WILL make them miss. Plus the guy is new and ~Hungry~ ...... A A A ND .......His heart will get him what his ability cannot, and he will put up huge numbers running AND receiving, just like any great back does. Watch this guy grow if he stays healthy

Zags4final4 | 08/28/07, 01:02 AM

Bush is too small and not good enough at breaking tackles to be mentioned in the same sentence as LT or Alexander.

Bio1590 | 08/28/07, 01:36 AM

HE WAS A ROOKIE! Damn people give the kid a break and a few seasons before saying his overrated.
