Perchoutofwater Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've just read a lot of arguments back in forth about how great this guy is, and others arguing that he is going to be a bust. What do you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfv87 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Kind of a big gap between HOF and Bust don't ya think? I chose the change of pace choice only becuase it was closest to what I think. Good NFL back some prop bowls but not sure if his size will allow long enough career for HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I'm with DFV - there is PLENTY of wiggle room in there. Heck, he could be a VERY GOOD RB who is worthy of the 1.1 but falls short of Hall of Fame status - like a George Rogers or Chris Warren.

Face it, Chow, and Carrol would have played him every down if he could handle the load. So, apparently he can't handle the load full time. Until they start sending 3rd down backs to the pro bowl, I don't see him making it as anything other than a kick returner. Like others have said, I can't see spending the 1.01 on someone that is not going to be on the field the majority of the offensive plays. This is the NFL, not MLB where relief pitchers can get in the hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Those are the only choices Hall of Fame or Ryan Leaf? I think he is worth the 1.01 on upside(RB, kick returner, could play WR like Marshall Faulk did) but injuries, coaching changes could play a big role. Who would you pick at 1.01 instead? I still think he is the best choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he is the best choice. 1442474[/snapback] I'd have to agree - while it's a VERY strong draft, none of the highly rated players appear perfect. You can nitpick all of 'em to death if you so choose: Mario Williams - disappeared in big games D'Brickashaw Ferguson - lacks bulk, questionable desire Young - high risk, high reward Leinart - system guy with 2 shoulder surgeries etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REZ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I think he'll be a very good back. You really do need another category in there. And do you think White's presence had anything to do with him not carrying the load full time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you think White's presence had anything to do with him not carrying the load full time?? 1442540[/snapback] I see your argument. But if you saw in the crunch time who they had in White. Not Mr. Bush. I say Bust! The highest 3rd change of pace back ever. Glad I dont own the 1.1. Reggie Bush is the ultimate Boom or Bust and I take the bust. 15 carries a game and 2 maybe 3 times max he got 20 carries in his carrer of USC football. U give the ball to your playmaker period. But we will see in about 3 or 4 yrs tops and see. But remember USC played who? Think about the talent they had vs the talent in the NFL. If Texas could hold Bush down in that game. What a real NFL team can do to him. Match up problem yes. But you bet he will see plenty of blitz pick up so he cant last all 4 quarters. To those who hold the 1.1 in the rookie drafts. Good luck. It wont be me picking him at 1.1 for sure if I had it. But that is what the NFL Draft about picking and guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the NFL, not MLB where relief pitchers can get in the hall. 1442459[/snapback] I know you are trying to say he's just a 3rd down back and that's OK but for me Tatum Bell fits that mould. I think Bush is better than that. He could line up and be an authentic WR and few RB's can do that. They will have to move him around to get him carries but that's OK too. I wouldn't want to be a D coordinator trying to shut him down. In the backfeld, in the slot, starts in the backfield and shifts to wideout. Just because he wasn't the man at USC doesn't mean he can't do it. They had a ton of talent nd wanted to play White some. If you want to pick Mario instead that's fine. Check back in 5 years and see how they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The only way Reggie Bush doesn't end up an an elite back is if he plays for coaches that don't use him correctly. The guy is a ridiculous weapon and should be an offensive coordinator's dream. A competent coach will figure out how to maximize his talent, and this guy is going to change games.

Bush won't be a bust, but I almost think it depends on which team he gets picked up by that will determine the HOF for himself. We'll see....

Grits and Shins Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think it's a bit early to declare either way. He looks to be very dangerous when in the open field and catches the ball well. He could very well develop into a very well rounded back like LT, or he could always just be a nice change of pace back, 3rd down back. Who knows? I can't imagine anybody knows after just one season where he was not even the primary back for his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vatican Hitsquad Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yes, cuz the only two options for him are one of best ever and one of worst ever. No chance of him being GOOD, nor any worth in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
