Every1 thinks reggie so so good but he isnt he does nothing for the saints and is overrated.


I am going to say that he isn't overrated. He is a very good player, didn't do so hot in the beginning and now has started to improve. He is starting to look like his old-self. He has speed, he is a good running back, and he can catch. He isn't overrated.

I wouldn't say he does nothing, but he isn't the greatest player of all time like some people made him out to be.

He can't even do 4 yards per carry, but the defenses focus on him enough that he helps the offense on some level.

November 15, 2007  10:13 PM ET

I certainly does something, but it's not exactly run the ball well. He is one of the best receiving backs in the game right now, and he's only a second year player. He'll get better as a rusher in a year or two, but right now they can't expect him to put up 5 yds a carries becuase he simply can't do it.

November 15, 2007  10:15 PM ET

LOL he's putting up what, 5 Yards per CATCH!?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

November 15, 2007  10:19 PM ET

He can still get way better; but certainly not worth the hype pre-draft. Wow, maybe Texas made a better choice. There is a noticable difference in their defense.

November 15, 2007  10:30 PM ET

Cause of DeMeco Ryans and Amobi Okoye.

MW still sucks.

Right now the sensible choice looks like it might have been Ferguson, because Houston's O-line still sucks

November 15, 2007  10:39 PM ET

and NO, Reggie Bush is NOT a good runningback. He can't even average 4 YPC, that's horrible.

He's a good athlete, and an average player.

November 15, 2007  10:45 PM ET

You are right O-Line would have been the way to go.

November 15, 2007  10:55 PM ET

i agree he is overrated bigtime

November 16, 2007  12:36 AM ET

when it comes down it it, he gets yards. rushing, receiving, and special teams. give him some time.

November 16, 2007  01:01 AM ET

He is overrated.

But he is also 100x better than you can imagine.

I was a person who said Reggie wasn't that good but since he became the full time back he has done pretty good. He is very versatile and since he hasn't been splitting as much time as before he seems to be more effective but the team is playing better as well. He isn't overrated anymore but he still isn't worth the hype that he received when he was drafted.

November 16, 2007  09:05 AM ET

he is extremely overrated. im a hardcore saints fan and i would have rather seen an improvement with o-line or traded down for some secondary(if im not mistaken huff went 7th to OAK and there were a couple others as well) he hasnt had any 100 yard games and the whole "total yards" is b.s. if you put other players around like they do with reggie then they would have better numbers still. i think if reggie wants to become a better player, he needs to focus on his Running not punt or kick ret.

November 16, 2007  10:33 AM ET

Reggie has obvious qualities but is more the promoter than the NFL football player. He was great in College but doesn't have what it takes to be the BIG TIME PLAYER IN THE nfl. He sells tickets and self-promotes well but is a bust as a "great back". In a couple of years he'll get a job on tv like Desmond Howard with an award or two on his resume'. NO OJ ,PEYTON OR JIM BROWN HERE! HE'LL BE RICH THOUGH!

November 16, 2007  01:54 PM ET

Not over-rated but more like under-utilized

November 16, 2007  02:08 PM ET

Some call him overrated some dont..but to say he "does nothing" for the Saints is crazy. Maybe people should stop looking at the topic and actually read the arguments. Bush definitely needs improvement and is overrated as a pure runner..but he is a dynamic individual who is used in many ways that helps the team.

November 16, 2007  03:15 PM ET

3.8 YPC isn't that bad of a number especially when you consider what Bush brings to the table as a receiver. Nobody rates him that highly anymore so he's not overrated.

November 16, 2007  03:19 PM ET

"he does nothing for the saints" that right there should sway votes to Mr News.

"3.8 YPC isn't that bad of a number especially when you consider what Bush brings to the table as a receiver. Nobody rates him that highly anymore so he's not overrated."

LOL, 3.8 YPC is horrible and you should be annihilated for suggesting otherwise.

And LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL@what he brings to the table as a receiver. LOL 5.5 YPCatch. That's disgusting.

In fact LOL@j00. Bush is averging 4.3 YPTouch. Good RBs have a YPCARRY that is higher than that.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Oh yeah, who said he was playing better as a full-time player?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL again.

Since the bye week (6 games) he's had 91 Carries for 371 yards, or 4.0 YPC. Hardly impressive, and it's really only because of the 64 yards he put up on 10 carries against SF. Without that he's at 3.8 YPC.

Reggie Bush is COMPLETELY overrated as a RB and the whole "BUT LIEK HE CATCHEZ TEH PAZZEZ!" is LOL at best because 5.5 YPCatch is LOL worthy.
