The Texans were smart to pass on one of the most overrated players to come out of college this side of Ryan Leaf.

Here are the reasons Bush is overrated and while he may not fail in the NFL, he will be extremely dissapointing.

1. Size

2. Lack of speed

3. Weak Pac-10 defenses made him look better than he is

4. NFL type offensive line opening holes that General Malaise could run through

5. Wasn't in for the last play in the national championship game, 2nd round pick in the draft was in instead

6. USC trojans have a history of failure

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

C'mon Joe, don't be ridiculous. I'm a UCLA fan, and even i wouldn't say something so outlandish and obsurd. And...6. USC trojans have a history of failure...huh? Just curious, then why do teams continuously pick Trojan players in the first round, and correct me if im wrong, don't they have the most #1 draft choices of all time?

i have Dominick on my dynasty team, so i liked the Mario pick, and agree with Texans owner Bob McNair: ...the Texans' running game is above average and Kubiak alone can make it 25 percent better.Dom has basically rushed for 1000yards-per-year for 3 years, whilst also averaging 51 recs @ 425yards-per-year over the same 3 years, and he signed a contract last year for like 5 years @ $21-million. Houston brought in Denvers' hot-shot offensive coach Kubiak, and made him HC...added WR Moulds, and some interesting Def & Off help. The Houston Def stunk big time last year, but is looking good this year. Reggie needs to outperform Dominick during his first 3 years, before humble me sees him as anything more than a scat-back.

 

[Blackjacks]

I feel dumber after reading this. Reggie is great and he will show it this year. For people saying what about Duece!!!!!, here's a ? for you. Name the last rb that got hurt DURING THE SEASON and ran for a thousand yards the following year. Edge and T. Davis, who I feel are better than Duece, couldn't comeback in less than a year. Why do people think Duece will be able to. I have no problem wiht people saying Deuce will get carries but I think Reggie will be "DA MAN" from day one and get more carries per game.

 

[Wade]

How about this:

D.McAllister -- 250 ATT, 950 YDS, 7 TD; 30 REC, 230 REC YDS, 0 REC TD

R.Bush -- 165 ATT, 750 YDS, 4 TD; 55 REC, 570 REC YDS, 3 REC TD

My biggest concern is if Deuce goes down and Bush is called on to step into a bigger role carry wise (assuming Bennett gets 5-10 carries). As seen, a lot of games saw Bush with only 8-16 carries with a few sparse 20+ carries thrown in here and there. Can he pull it off consistently against teams with much quicker defenses? Keep in mind he'd be playing against teams like Atlanta, Chicago, Tampa Bay, and Carolina.

I disagree with No.5, you give it to your best player. The Giants for years did that crap with Dayne while Barber was the better player for long distance and short distance. To have your Heisman Trophy winner on the sideline for the biggest play of the season was ridiculous at best. I don't care if he's in there for some type of misdirection, everyone in the freaken world new with Bush out and White in what the play was.

 

[cscmtp]

Bush will get 20 carries a game, 7-15 catches a game, will average over 200 total yards a week. He'll be the #1 player taken in FF next year.

 

[Rev]

this thread is going to be bumpalicious.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It will be fun to revisit say at about week 10. For the record, I think Reggie will have to make some adjustments to the pro game which will limit some of what he will do in college. But he still is far more athletic than most NFL RBs, and should excel at the next level.

First, Deuce McAllister is a great back that is on a bad team. I think he is a better back than Edge and Davis as he is a workhorse with speed. If he were on KC people would be talking about him being the #1 overall pick (before the injury). Now to your point about the injury, yes it may take him some time to get to 100%, but if and when he is there is no way that Bush will be the guy toting the rock to move the chains and wear out the opponent. I don't care how Bush looked in college, a healthy McAllister is a better running back than Bush. Bush can do a lot of other things, but when it comes to controlling the game with the run Deuce would have my vote.

Something has happened to him ... the accumulation of too many injuries or something. I love Deuce's heart and attitude -- just seems like his body's not responding like it did a few years ago. Maybe he can have a few years like Marcus Allen had for the Chiefs ... kind of hang around as a goal-line back or something. Deuce is sort of young to talk about his winding-down years, but that just might be where he is in his career.

If you think Bush will be great, please stand up and make an argument rather than trash talk other peoples opinions. To me, Bush has only one direction to go... down. I've already pointed out how well he did agains GOOD non-Pac-10 defenses.

Good point & POINTS...so to speak.This over-rated Reggie Bush had a chance to prove something to the Fantasy Football Universe during the 2006 Rose Bowl National Championship...he had the Odds-Makers backing him...he had the sports media backing him...he had the infamous USC NFL Offense, the USC Special Teams, and the USC Defense backing him. Heck, he even had the Home Field advantage!!!

QB Leinart, WR Jarrett, RB L. White, and the *WHOLE* USC Team did their Jobs, and a QB from Texas out-rushed Reggie *BIG* Time!!! If the University of Texas could slow Reggie down, then imagine what an NFL Defense will do.

The Saints wanted or needed Ticket Sales...Houston wants to win their Division, and more...and, didn't fall for the Reggie *HYPE*!!! RB's are so deep in the NFL right now, that a "Dom" can show up, have three great years at rushing and receiving. A RB Parker or RB Gado can come from nowhere, and go undrafted in the NFL and even in Fantasy Football. Dominic Rhodes/Joseph Addai look hot. Heck, i see at least 5 Rookie RB's that look better than Reggie now!!! What Dynasty Team Owner is going to cut McAllister or even Mewelde?!?

Basically, Reggie failed to win 'Da *BIG* One, even with all the help that he had (backing him up at the college level), and even with the MSSM (Mainstream Sports Media) backing him up. Fortunately for Reggie, he doesn't face Mario this year, but he is going to face some very Tough DE's this year.

Heck, Reggie might even beat Bennett out, huh. Especially in ticket sales. Will that be enough to cover what the Saints end up paying Reggie???

He was injury prone in college, and that carried on into the NFL. Mike Ditka ruined Ricky Williams, and the Saints 'tHoUgHt' that they understood RB's when Miami took Ricky off their hands. Reggie might not be injury prone, with 8-10 carries per game, but Deuce was and is, and Reggie was just a scat-back in college. Reggie best avoid hits in the NFL, and he can't avoid hits whilst carrying 'Da Ball more than 11 times per-game. This kid will fold in the NFL, faster than a White Boy in Prison, humble former inmate me suspects.

Oh God, should I trade Bush now? Please let me know, as I can't make my own mind up. Please, please. Oh God, I just know I've made a mistake. I just know you know more than I do and you can help me if you try.

The Texans were smart to pass on one of the most overrated players to come out of college this side of Ryan Leaf.

Here are the reasons Bush is overrated and while he may not fail in the NFL, he will be extremely dissapointing.

1. Size

2. Lack of speed

3. Weak Pac-10 defenses made him look better than he is

4. NFL type offensive line opening holes that General Malaise could run through

5. Wasn't in for the last play in the national championship game, 2nd round pick in the draft was in instead

6. USC trojans have a history of failure

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

1. See Barry Sanders2.

3. True

4. The guy could juke 6 midgets in a 6 x 6 room

5. You give it to thunder on the goalline, not lightning

6.

update?

I think I nailed this one.
