No, no one has ever been as good as Bush, and no one ever will be.

Well thats an intelligent response.To answer the question, coming out of college, few feature backs have ever been rated as highly as Bush has as a reciever. Faulk is the only one offhand who I can think of who was regarded as being as good of a reciever. Ronnie Brown was generally regarded last year as the best recieving back since Faulk.No, no one has ever been as good as Bush, and no one ever will be.

Kijana Carter looked pretty darn good in college too.
This is getting out of hand.![]()
I thought McAllister was regarded pretty highly also (although nobody seems to have told the Saints).Well thats an intelligent response.To answer the question, coming out of college, few feature backs have ever been rated as highly as Bush has as a reciever.

Id guess Bush lies somewhere between Faulk and Brown.

In this class? I wouldn't be shocked if some would rate him as the #1 WR. But then, I'm really not a fan of this class at the top. This guy seems to have been a decent receiver:Bush strictly as a WR would be in the top 5 WR in this class.

thats a good point, this is not the most impressive class. Lets just say Bush would grade out as a 1st rounder as a WR, since top 5 in this WR class isn't really all that.In this class?

He also averaged less than 7.5 ypc. He is a very good reciever though, but the Chargers rarely use his ability in that aspect to its fullest extent.Does anybody seem to recall that LT had more than 100 receptions a couple of years ago?
Seems to me he must have a good pair of hands.
Of course, nothing like Bush.
Maybe not playing means he hasn't proven it yet, but whether or not a guy has played has nothing to do with whether or not he possess the skill to.He isnt one of the best because he has never caught a pass. I love Bush, I think he will be great. But he is not the best ever anything until he has played.
exactly...larry fitzgerald has an identifiable, easily discernible skill... he has good hands (like chris carter, randy moss, chris chambers, chad johnson... nobody could watch them & come away with the impression they don't have incredible hands & aren't gifted receivers)...Maybe not playing means he hasn't proven it yet, but whether or not a guy has played has nothing to do with whether or not he possess the skill to.He isnt one of the best because he has never caught a pass.

In 1 pt per reception leagues, i could see Bush being a MONSTER. It got me thinking, has there ever been a RB coming into the league that was as effective a pass catcher as Bush?![]()

Miss the point much guys?He isnt one of the best because he has never caught a pass. I love Bush, I think he will be great. But he is not the best ever anything until he has played.
These videos are fun to watch, but I'd much rather see the aerial view coach's tape.Food for thought:
