Like I said...he made some rookie mistakes...Why are you expecting him to come out and play like a Vet ? ESPN hype get into your psyche ? Despite what you are saying he still averages more ypc than any back on our team...and like I said he splits time with duece going with the first team...and IMO, he has shown some pretty impressive flashes...you can keep ranting, your bush sucks chants if you want...thats your choice....but overall Bush has looked more impressive than any running back on our squad...take it FWIW....

Im not saying that Bush is gonna be a bust or anything, although I do think he isnt worth $60M, but there is no way he has looked better then Morency. Watch that Rams game and just try to imagine Bush scoring that first TD...no way. 90 something yards on 11 carries and 2 TD's, one big 30+ yard run and one where he plowed over a Linebacker...

Also, Bush almost defies the point of a running game. If your RB gets 100 yards on 20 carries with a long of say 20, that helps your team throughtout the game a lot more then 100 yards on 20 caries with a long of 50. On a running team (which is what we are) you need first downs first, then big plays. If you can consistantly get 4 yards on a runnning play you are far more likley to win then averaging 2 yards a play with a big one thrown in once.

I'm not understanding your point...I think everyone knows that there is no such thing as a perfect back or perfect anything for that matter...Reggie has limitations just like every other RB's...But as far as what he brings to the table...It's double that of your run-of-the mill back...And Barry was the more talented back of him and Emmit...Emmit had the better career IMO, strictly due to the situation he was put in and Barry's early retirement...But as far as man vs. man..Barry was better hands down....and are you saying that RB's can't learn and get better ? Im not following you there...because it sounded like you were saying that RB's can't change their style to fit a system...and that IMO, is lunacy...

I think it makes perfect sense. Reggie is great at open field running, juking defenders, spin moves..etc. That is not what our team in now about. Morency was told directly, run "North/South", stop dancing around the line of scrimmage, or you wont run at all. What's the point of drafting Reggie Bush and putting him in an offense (with years of proven success, mind you, look at Denver's rushing stats during Kubiak's tenure) where he will not mesh with what everyone else is doing? Its that same thing as not allowing Vick to run or Manning to go no-huddle. If Kubiak is determined to implement his particular system, he should go after players that fit that system, not the most talanted ones.

Now what are you talking about ? I did not one time say anything about drafting Reggie Bush...Don't assume....

Are we talking individual performances or are we talking team ball ??? The TEXANS have looked better than the SAINTS running the ball, but as far as individual performances Bush has looked like the more talented back, and player...And you are talking about averages and Bush has a higher ypc average than both Lundy and Morency...
