Bush vs. Lundy

It seems the Mario v Reggie debate still lingers on this message board. However, I predict that because of the Texans's new offense and zone blocking scheme by season's end, Lundy will have more rushing yards than Bush.

I also think that Lundy is a offensive rookie of the year candiate.
 
Useless to talk about this before the regular season even starts. there'll be another thread comparing bush to lundy and/or mario on sept. 11 which will be equally useless because you can't determine anything off one regular season nfl game. this discussion will actually be interesting at the END of this season.
 
Lets say the stats listed below are the results after the 2006 season.

2006:
Wali Lundy: 335 carries, 1750 yds rushing, 50 catches for 480 yds, 19 touchdowns,
Vernon Morency: 140 carries, 700 yds rushing, 15 catches for 150 yds 5 touchdowns

Reggie Bush: 320 carries, 1475 yds rushing, 60 catches for 590 yds, 15 touchdowns

Mario Williams: 4 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 30 tackles, 13 tackles for a loss.
Texans defense as a team ranks 12th best in the league for sacks.
Texans defense as a team ranks 14th best in the league against the run.
Texans defense as a team ranks 19st best in the league against the pass.

Texans record 8-8
Saints record 4-12

How will the media react if this happens?
Would Lundy or Bush be the OROY?
Would people still question the Texans passing on Bush for Mario?
 
thanks for merging this onto page 8 of a dead thread.

Glad I wasted 15 minutes of my life posting that topic.

I hate to say it but the micro-managing of the moderators on this board is going to eventually drive me away. I love the Texans fans on this forums, some of the most respectful in the NFL. I have tried my best to be a positive contributor on these forums and don't have any personal grudge against any of you.

I know people are not going to like me for saying this but.....the moderation on this site at times is horrible. I don't mean you guys are mean or rude or anything like that, but the way you guys do certain parts of your job isn't very effective. I am sure some moderators are better than others.

You guys do a good job of crowd control and keeping profanity and rude people in check (much better than the name calling on the jags forums). The primary problem I have is the way you guys use the "merge" feature. (This certainly was NOT the first time it has bothered me and this isn't the first time I have posted about it.) Often merging topics that have substance into topics that are FULL of junk. This makes me not want to read some very insiteful posts because I don't want to wade through garbage. It is much easier to look through a few extra topics than it is to search through huge threads, and follow several topics within the same thread. The worst part of it is how inconsistantly it is done.

I have been on here for 2 years, and I am getting to the point that I can't handle the inconsistency.

PM me if you want to discuss this further.

Folks--let's try to get our own coach's name correct. It is Kubiak. The only reason I mention this is I have seen it too much lately to be a typo. It looks bad if we don't get his name right, just like:

It is Y'ALL not YA'LL

One reason I don't post much on this board anymore is because of post like this. I just don't care to critique every word I write before I post it. I am long past caring whether my grammar is correct or my spelling is perfect. This use to be a GREAT opinion board, a place where fans could just blast away on their keyboard without having to worry about some English major, lawyer, or journalist blasting them for spelling something wrong or putting a comma in the wrong place.

I have to worry about that stuff at work. If I wrote a blog, or did this for a living, I would bother to use spell check more often. SOOOOOO, I will just frequent other MBs where I don't have to worry about the moderator's getting testy if I screw up. It's NO fun having to worry about being perfect all the time!!!! JMO!!

Nice job of digging up an old post to take a jab. Oh the days of yore when the discussion was soooo much better and you only had to wade thru 10 pages of personal attacks to get to the football knowledge--to each his own.
Just my opinion, but it looks pretty darn silly when fans can't spell the name of their coach and their most characterisitc colloquialism--pardon me for offending you with a public service announcement--and FYI, y'all being misspelled has been a pet peeve of mine long before the Texans' MB existed.

they'll say that we'd have gone 10-6 had we drafted Reggie, and would've been favorites to win the Superbowl.

No matter how you look at it, we can't win.

I have to agree with this. The media is never wrong, getting them to eat crow is not usually possible. Reggie will have to be a bust in a big way for us to get respect for what we do rather then what we should have done.

All we can hope for is some wins...and that Mario swallows Reggie when we play them next year....

IF Reggie is even playing next year, figure he will go out injured in 2006, trying to show how much tougher he is than a 300 lb defensive monster.

Reggie Bush:yawn: :yawn:

Flashes of greatness, surrounded by mediocrity:crutch:
