With hours away from signing Reggie Bush, I think it is a good time to analyze what the Fans should expect from Reggie Bush. As a running back, we should look into Denvers scheme last year to compute an expected output of performance expected by Reggie Bush. Last year Mike Anderson shared carries with Tatum Bell. Mike had 239 carries for 1014 yards and 12 TD. You people believe Reggie Bush is the best running back to come out in 30 years, the next Barry Sanders but better ( oh by the way Barry had a rookie season with 1470 yards 280 carries and 14 TDs). Given Reggie is the first pick selection, his expected 60 million dollar contract, as a fan I believe Reggie Bush should have 220 to 240 carries and 1400 to 1600 yards with at least 14 TDs on the ground. This is a feasible expectation if he is the number one pick, and if you people think he is the greatest of all time. Anything less then these numbers and Reggie Bush is a flop and a waste of the number one pick! It also shows that 100% of the media dont know crap, as well as those self-proclaimed draft gurus! With David Carr we can set the bar a bit higher than we have with Reggie since he too was a #1 over all plus he has had four years behind the belt. David Carr is a lot like Jake Plummer over the beginning of his career, except Jake Plummer has talent IMO and had better numbers over his first four but not by a very large margin. Plummer last year threw for 3336 with 18 TD and 7 INT. Given that number, plus the fact that the management feels Carr is going to be the guy, we should expect no less that 3500 to 3600 yard 21 TD and no more than 10 INT. With this said the Texans will be a top 5 team next year, and we will be in the playoffs. People say Reggie is a guaranteed success, a no brain #1, hey he better deliver. If he fails, I say Charley C. should take his BS some where else because Houston is sick of it. If this is the result next year, then we should comment the guys and hook up the GM with a pay raise.
