R. Bush the M. Vick of RB's (1 Viewer)

[Carter_Can_Fly]

R. Bush was plain awful last night and it had me thinking that Bush is a lot like Vick.

Bush like Vick has 2 sides; the side that likes him and his upside and the side that hates his inconsistency. Vick at seasons end usually worked out to starting material but he often times left people shaking their heads with a terrible week. People say Vick should be playing WR, people say Bush should be playing WR. Both are some of the best athletes to play, but both lack strengths at their own positions. Bush makes up for his lack of rushing the ball with cathcing passes and Vick makes up for his lack of throwing thd ball by rushing for fantasy.

I always stayed away from Vick and for the most part I have stayed away from Bush the last 2 years. In one leauge this year I drafted Bush reluctantly and found myself last night as I watched the game comparing him to Vick.

so Vick and Bush are the only QB and RBs that ever have a bad game?

So does that mean he has some shady animal fighting ring set up in his N.O home??? I mean it's a southern cultural thing.....right???

What a chump, this second-year player is never going to amount to anything.

I don't know, I had Vick last year and was good A LOT.

They are similar physically. Both have super-human speed, which often times result in spectacular plays, but I don't think either is an exceptionally good player.

Junior wins.Most people fail to distinguish between a great talent and a great player.

Vick and Bush are great talents.

Let me guess....LT's poor 2-game stat line in his second season.Edited to add of course that would mean he would have to have played his own team...duhhhh! Wrong Answer.

Sounds a lot like this guy: 9/9 L, 21-38 Tampa Bay 14 79 9/16 W, 21-14 Atlanta 18 55 9/23 L, 20-23 @ Tampa Bay 15 52 9/30 L, 21-24 Green Bay 20 94 10/7 W, 34-27 @ Minnesota 15 82 10/14 L, 24-43 @ Kansas City 16 90 10/28 W, 27-10 @ New Orleans 12 10 Somehow, I think he did alright

Let me give you a larger segment of that season:

+----------+-------------+--------+----+| WK  OPP  |  RSH   YD   |  RECYD | TD |+----------+-------------+--------+----+|  1  ari  |   12	46  |	62  |  0 ||  2  nyj  |   10	25  |	11  |  1 ||  6  buf  |   20	55  |	 8  |  1 ||  7  bal  |   19	44  |	21  |  1 ||  9  was  |   13	53  |	39  |  1 || 10  sdg  |   14	37  |	37  |  0 || 11  mia  |   10	13  |	10  |  0 || 12  nyj  |   18	46  |	22  |  0 || 13  nwe  |   10	25  |	18  |  0 |

This crappy RB, through 9 games in his sophomore season, had a 2.7 ypc average, averaging 64 combined yards per game with just 4 TDs in those 9 games. For the full year he only managed 3.0 ypc and 7 TDs. Write him off, he's too small to play in the NFL.
