How does Reggie avoid this list?
Interesting LT isn't even on there.....not that he is sucking, but definitely not in his usual form.
Because when someone breaks their leg it is more disappointing no matter how well they were running at the time. I am sure Williams ment to break his leg, he did it on purpose.
How does Reggie avoid this list?
because he hasn't been as disappointing as the 10 on this list. You see most writers out there don't have this incessant desire to prove that Reggie sucks and that the Texans made the right choice. They would be the first to tell you that Reggie hasn't lived up to the hype but they would also follow that by saying he hasn't been a disappointment especially when compared to some of the guys on this list. It seems that so many around here just want Reggie and VY to fail to somehow justify the Texans stupidity in selecting Mario #1 and not going with competitors like RB or VY or trading down. The Texans were stupid and it was all because of $$ and signability....and nothing to do with football...no matter how many times they tell you the contrary... Thanks Bob, Gary, and Asserley.

If Cadillac is on there why no Ronnie Brown?

because Cadillac has sucked for a while now and Ronnie Brown was one of the league's premier running backs before his injury.If Cadillac is on there why no Ronnie Brown?
1. Rudi JohnsonHey, my firewall at work won't let me see the list.
Can anyone post the quick version for me? I don't need to know why they're on the list, but I would be appreciative if someone can tell me who is on there....
So you admit that Bush has been disappointing thus far? Just not as disappointing as myself and others see Reggie's performance.because he hasn't been as disappointing as the 10 on this list.

Because you have to first be good before you can be disappointing.

What do these 6 under performing RBs have in common?
They have all rushed for more yards then Reggie Bush, and yet they are all underperforming and Reggie isn't?
Yeah I ain't buying that.
lay off the koolaid....RB does more than just run the ball and remember that he shared time at the beginning of the season. those may be excuses but he is used as a passing threat a lot out of the backfield and out wide. remember, those yards/production don't show up as rushing yards. look at all purpose yards and that is a better determination of one's production. it's called running back not rushing back.
i can't believe i am having to defend Bush, because i think he is a punk, but to try and paint him as a bad football player is just classic Houston homering.
Bush is 7th in the NFL in receptions with 55.
Yet 73rd in receiving yards....
My point wasn't to lift the guy up, I just wanted to join the debate and answer a question...what has he done...whip:
considering the amount of hype given to Bush, anything short of Pro Bowl numbers would have been a disappointment. He has yet to reach that level, so that could be called disappointing. I would call it overhype and that he is what he is. a good running back with a lot of talent but a lot to learn about being a featured back (which is the only way one could justify a RB at #2 overall).
i just think some of us on this board, and not necessarily you, will find any reason to say Bush sucks in an attempt to somehow justify our own team's stupidity at choosing Mario #1. I don't want other players failures or somewhat disappointing performances used to make ourselves feel better about the selection of Mario. I want Mario to make us feel better about the pick....and I am still waiting.
One thing is for sure, I bet if we would have selected Bush, we would probably still have DC at QB and that can't be good. So at least we can take solace in that
It's dissapointing to see all the hate for Reggie... I thought Texans fans were better than that.

There is a slight difference between thinking somebody is overrated and hating them.
If you think that 3.7 yds per carry, 7.3 yds per reception, & 7.4 yds per punt return is worth nearly $60 million then thats fine.
But to me, that isnt the production that a #1 RB should have. I would qualify it as disappointing.
So you think 4 sacks and 23 tackles is worth 54 million?
No. I dont.
But this thread is for the top 10 disappointing running backs & I havent seen Mario Williams in the backfield lately.
And I didn't see Reggies Bush's name on that list. So why is he even brought up?
Maybe that's what the debate in this thread has been about.
His name isnt on that list.
But most of the guys on that list have put up bad numbers because they are injured.
What is Bush's excuse for putting up disappointing numbers?
Answer me this then. Who would you knock off from the list and replace them with reggie?
Cadillac - he was injured.Answer me this then. Who would you knock off from the list and replace them with reggie?
That is easy Carnell Williams. He got hurt so early on right as he was starting to produce, so since he has not played I would have taken him off the list.

No way. Bush and cadillac have almost the same average per carry. 3.8 to 3.9 but reggie was averaging way more receptions and yards in the air. Cadillac had a whopping 3 receptions for 17 yrds for the whole season in recieving yards. Bush has 300 yrds recieving. And i'm sorry but getting injured is part of this equation. If your not on the field, you are not producing, then that is part of the equation.
