***reggie bush update***

Ok by now we all know that he's has an occasional good play, but overall he's a huge dissapointment and average at best. So why in the hell does he get commercial deals?

Darren Sproles has been amazing for us.

On track to break the record for all-purpose yards in a season.

Yea, yea.... I know.... 4 games. Lots of records on track to be broken and I don't necessarily expect Sproles to break this one.

However, that said, I have been really, really impressed with Sproles. And I consider myself somewhat sympathetic to Bush (most posters would probably agree/remember) - but the performance of Sproles isn't close.

The dude is electric. Thus far, and yes - again it's still early, Sproles has been a better everything in this offense than Bush ever was. I keep my eye on Bush's stats and catch Dolphins games when they don't conflict with other things - and I can't say I miss him.

Not when Sproles is playing like this. I always thought Bush was good on screens and in space - Sproles is better.

I don't wish Bush any ill will whatsoever - his rookie year was his most enjoyable to watch. BUt it's been a decline since then - I hope he turns it around, just because I like him as a player and what he did in/for NO. But I'll take Sproles seven days a week. And twice on Sundays.

Yeah, but if you're a brotha with money...you pretty much have a shot at tappin' a Kardashian. I'm just trippin' that his CURRENT GF is some girl who got a series of ads because she LOOKS like Kim Kardashian's no talent porn start ass.

Ever notice she ****s the talent out of brothas? They're never the same.
 
Is there or has there been another player in the NFL who's ever been like Bush in the sense that's he's a very, very ordinary player in terms of his contribution and real value to his team and yet has such a disproportunate value as a commercial advertising property ? For who knows what reason(s) he does seem to retain his "celebrity status" from what is by now those many years ago in college ?

I can't think of any player in any sport that's had so much publicity about them without actually achieving anything. I wouldn't care so much if the media just shut up about him.

Yeah Sproles was everything Reggie was supposed to be.

I still don't think it was a bad pick for the Saints. The guy was the most electrifying player in college football i've ever seen. Everyone agreed he was a #1 quality pick. No one predicted he would get injured and lose all confidence.

Lots of us predicted his game would not translate to the NFL.
 
this just in: reggie bush is actually not that terrible (for now). i dunno what happened. but he's playing well. 3 TDs the last 3 games, averaging 5.8 yards a carry.

of course his play is meaning that the Dolphins have won two in a row and will probably wind up winning like 5 games and draft another meaningless player and continue down the road of mediocrity for centuries to come

Hey man, mediocrity is not 5-11, it's 7-9, 8-8 or 9-7. Don't sully our Texans reputation with your below average team! We are not the Dolphins!!

Maybe due to his teammate telling him he sucked too?

You know what the knocks on Reggie were before he was drafted. He's small, can't take the beating of the NFL.

He's proved it time & time again. Has nothing to do with his ability to make plays, he's proven he can do that as well.
 
can we change the thread title to "reggie bush: actually pretty good!" he is making big plays and seems to actually look for contact on the field. he's no punishing brusing back by any means, but he is running up the middle, and he's doing it well. maybe it took 5 years longer than it should have, but it appears that Bush has learned how to run like an NFL player now. who knew?

I've been impressed by him recently. At first, I thought he was busting pretty bad for you guys but he's turned it around. Steve Slaton, otoh...

this isn't new for him - he was better at running between the tackles in NO than most people saw or gave him credit for. He lacked enough decisiveness, imo, and looked to make a big play every time he touched the ball - and that led to disappointing numbers. It wasn't because he couldn't do it.

I am rooting for him. I liked him as a Saint. I like what he did for the city and the franchise. And I wished him well in Miami. Glad to see him doing well. I'll always consider myself a fan of his.
 
Good for him. He's finally outplaying Mario Williams this season. All it took was a season ending injury for MW and a change of scenery for Bush.

Good to see you posting again.

It's almost draft time again. LOL

I'm looking forward to your imput. Will Sparano stay? How do you think the Dolphins will go in this yrs draft? QB, WR2, OLB, OL ?
 
all of those would be nice. a safety is probably our biggest "need," but boy howdy i would like to get a franchise QB as well. who knows where we wind up drafting at this point, though. we're suddenly beating teams down.
 
The Bills defense the last few weeks has been terrible, but 200 yards is a ton. Good for him and good for fantasy owners.

Reggie Bush has over 200 yards rushing today.

yeah. i don't know what else to say either.

Good for him. I've always enjoyed watching games he comes up big, but it doesn't happen that often. How does he struggle to put up 100 yard games all season, and then bust out 200?? Great game for him though.
 
And my USC/Reggie fanboyism is rewarded!

Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!

He started looking like a between-the-tackles back his last year in NO.

To me, I don't care if Reggie is a between the tackles runner or not. But when they put the ball in his hands, he needs to do something with it.

The question though, is if you put Reggie in the game, who do you take out?

If you continue to call him a running back, then he is going to have to prove that he can run between the tackles & I don't care how well he does, I know he won't be able to do it often. He's still too small for that kind of work.

He still hasn't shaken that rap.

He's going to be a 1000-yard rusher by the end of next week, so I think he has the running back thing down.

He may be too small to take constant punishment but the workhorse back is a thing of the past with a few exceptions (Peterson, MJD) anyways. I'll take a back that gets 1500 combined yards with under 275 touches

It took him 6 years in the league to do it, and since he'll do it just once in that period of time it's obviously got to be called an aberration.
Whoever the new HC in Miami is next year he'll probably restore Bush to his natural position of a 3rd down back. That's assuming he doesn't cut him from the roster.
 
Seems like New Orleans is just not a good place to be a running back. Very few opportunities to run. Shared backfield. O-line is used to pass block rather than run block. just look at Mark Ingram this year, he didn't look very good. I bet mark ingram with a team like the Bears or the Niners would look awesome if he was the featured back.
