And his knees would be safer as a Texan? LOL. The only potential weakness on the Saints Oline is at RT and if I were Reggie, I'd consider myself lucky to have dodged playing behind that thing in Houston.

I knew some Texans fans were gonna be pretty:mad:

But keep on praying my man, keep on praying....:cool:

And Tulexan's comments about Reggie Bush not wanting to play for the Saints is looking like pure jibberish right about now.
 
Just more motivation for Mario to prove he was worth the #1 pick...If I was Mario I would be flattered that the Texans wanted me locked up before the draft but irked at the money being thrown at Vince and Bush who were picked after me...
 
All of this speculation by these bitter boys has been a bunch of BS. They want to justify the pick of Williams even further than "we needed him more." They want to prove RB as a "headcase" that they were better off without anyway. The truth, the haters are all just bitter boys.

Just because the dude has signed a contract means nothing, it's what he does on the field this season.

I wasn't being serious, sorry for your confusion. Good for him, and how much was the deal?

The guy is obsessed with Reggie Bush. The guy has 400 something posts and I'd be willing to bet that more than half of them are about RB.

You're looking at posts.. I'm 20, turning 21 in a month. I wasn't being entirely serious either. I was 13-14 when I joined the Saintsreport MBs.

I don't think it is pure jibberish. He really didn't have much of a choice but to sign. Sitting out for the year really wasn't an option if he wanted to maximize his earnings. I still think that he wouldn't have declared if he thought that he was going to go to the Saints. I hope he has a great season and will enjoy watching him at the Dome this season.

Tell this to your fellow Texans fans regarding Mario, cause your preaching to the choir with this. This can be said about any rookie.

I don't think he would have declared either if he didn't think he would go to the Texans at #1. He wanted to go #1 and the Saints weren't the worst team last year.

You're definately reaching with this, especially when training camp just started.

You're talking like the regular season is about to start next week or something:confused:

Well I really think if he thought he would have to run behind that poor Houston off. line he would've stayed another year in college. but he figured the Texans would have first pick again next year so decided to come out and see if the Texans would drop the ball and pick a DE. well it worked and now he is going to be with the next AMERICAS TEAM!!!!!!!:bananasplit: :whip: :francis: :excited:

America has no team. The Saints would not be it, either. I hated that era when the Cowboys called themselves "America's Team."

Don't know about you but I am glad the "big three" have signed and now we can get down to training camps and ball games.

I think all the ragging back and forth was mostly relieving the boredom of no football..:ouch:

Most fans of the three teams are happy with the player they got. :highfive:

Can't please everyone.

Time will tell if anybody got the best of the deal or if we all got a perennial pro bowler.

I don't hate the Saints. In fact I enjoy watching them play because I live in NOLA. But that doesn't mean that I can't be critical and realistic. There was a reason why Reggie and Pete Carroll were seeking a guarantee from McNair that he would be picked number one before he declared and I think the team picking number two was the reason. Does that mean that I am correct in my theory? No, but it is a realistic scenario.

The team picking number two may have played a part, but I think the main reason was the #1 money. Also you have to look at the Saint's history of failure, granted the Texan's have not had much success, but we haven't been in the league too long.

I don't think that's realistic at all.
 
I would think if he was "the best player" in this draft, why would he want a guarantee to be picked #1 before declaring? Only reason I can think of is money, or fear of having a poor senior season or injury in his senior season.
 
"Financial terms of the contract, which will be signed on Sunday, were not yet available. But based on discussions with NFL sources throughout Saturday, as the two sides moved closer to the accord, it appears that Bush's contract will easily exceed the one signed earlier this week by Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young, and will come very close to the deal for top overall pick Mario Williams."-ESPN.COM

I am confused, Didn't Mario get somehing like $800k more guaranteed money but less overall than vince? Also, how can reggie easily exceed vince and get close to Mario...to me they don't seem that far apart.

Can someone clear this up for me?!
 
Found this on profootbaltalk.com

Williams received $26.5 million in guaranteed money, and Young gets $25.74 million. The maximum value of Young's contract is $58 million, and the maximum value of Williams' is $62 million.

Our guess? Bush will get $26.2 million in guaranteed money and a maximum value of $60 million.

Not to knock Reggie or anything, I think he's a lot of fun to watch and hope we get some good highlights but...

How lucky are A) Carolina Panthers getting DeAngelo
and B)DeAngelo for getting picked by the Panthers...he's actually got a shot at the Super Bowl this year!

Okay Saints fan....Thats two comments from yall about how are line is so much worse than yours to run behind. I let the first one slide, because I was too lazy to pull it up, do some research and get educated.

2005 league rushing stats

2004 league rushing stats

For the past 2 seasons the Texans have been a better rushing team with a injury prone 4th round running back with no break away speed and a running back that was cut off the team backing him up, that till this date no one has picked up, playing in a system where the QB can't take more than three steps without getting planted, so theres really no consistent passing game. That speaks volumes for our run blocking.

We have a good run blocking team, pass blocking is a different story and we'll only get better now that Kubiak is here inserting the Broncos running scheme.

Yall couldn't beat us in rushing before you lost your probowl center and now your going to act like Bush is so much happier running behind your line......yeah, right. I'm sure the second he found out he was going to the Saints he was estatic.

Frankly I don't care about Bush....Great he signed a contract....making him possibly the highest paid RB in the league (most likely), wow hold on, almost a year to the day you signed another runningback to one of the largest in the league.

http://www.neworleansprofootball.com/072805mcallistercontract.html

Thats alot of money for just one position. Nice cap management, great way to build depth, you'll go far

Our front office knew that in this system we didn't need to pay a part time player getting paid QB money to be successful, hell our 4th round running back has lead to more success in the running game then your 50 million dollar man.

Runningbacks are a cheap position, and are a dime a dozen, and can be found in later rounds, especially in this system.

Back to the topic at hand...........Great Reggie signed a contract woo hoo!!!, so why are you here trolling our board. Your obviously happy about that...so why are you here, shouldn't you be celebrating with the fellow Saint fans.

Texan fans are happy with Mario, Saint fans are happy with Bush.......guess what......everybody WINS!!!

Now lets see who goes on to have a better career.
 
LikeABoss, are you a former Texans fan who left because we didn't draft Reggie Bush? Or are you just a Saints fan trying to rub it in our faces? If it's the latter, then it's not working.

Regardless of how bad our pass blocking is, we are consistantly in the top 15 in run-blocking which would be Reggie's main concern. This is before we added a pro-bowl center, two stud rookie OT's, Mike Sherman, and the Denver System. This is also before you lost Bently and had Brown at LT instead of RT.

While you were doing all this extensive research, did you stop and check to see who was running the ball for the Saints in 2005? Deuce went down in the 2nd game last year and we had Antowain Smith and Aaron Stecker running the rest of the way. Antowain had his best year since 2001. I'd definately take Davis over those two.

In 2004, Deuce was banged up, overweight, and ineffective. It didn't help that the team played from behind every game because the offense put up only 1 first quarter touchdown throughout the entire year. We were outscored in the first quarter something like 152-10.

But you're right. Everyone is happy now. No reason to hate...

Antwan Smith is still running in the league, Jonathan Wells is not

We're not exactly killing it on the scoreboard either in the first quarter.

I have never said one ill word towards Bush....

Frankly I could care less and really thought the contract holdout was over blown, there are still like 10 first round picks holding out that you don't hear crap about.

I just don't see the reasoning of people trolling a board, because their boy signed.

Saint fans, if your happy Bush signed....good for you....great, I'm happy for you and hope Bush has a great career, he seems like a decent guy.

We just choose a different route, now lets sit back and see how it plays out.

This could turn out to be like the Vick/LT trade and work out for both teams.

At this point everybodies happy, so lets leave it at that.
 
I actually think RB signing is absolutely fantastic. Good for the Saints and their fans. Also, the signing should keep quiet all of those football "wizards" on this board who were predicting a long RB holdout - nice call guys.
 
Oh yeah Karma is not for real, if it was I would be a rich man living the high life by now

Damn Karma owes me alot:brickwall For heavens sake...I'm a Texans fan



.......But then again your a Saints and Texans fan so Karma might owe you a little more at this time.
