Yeah, and the team that he is on is in last place in the NFC South, has a 3-4 record, and Reggie Bush has been the top rusher in 1 game this season, 9/21 vs. Denver.
If he was drafted to be a game changer, why does New Orleans keep on losing?
In the 4 games they lost the Saint's D gave up 29, 34, 30, and30 points. THAT is why they are losing. How can you put that on Bush's shoulders?
Because if they had drafted a stud defensive player with the second overall pick they'd be better?
How do you know their DB's wouldn't get burned?
They have a less than stellar backfield and you can't deny Bush isn't good.
As long as you use him to his strengths, then he will prosper but pounding the ball isn't his forte. |

That's exactly my point and I am glad that you brought that up.
You select a player in the Top Two picks, he better not have any glaring weaknesses, and if he does, then his strengths had better be enough to overshadow them. I am not saying that Bush is a bad player, I am saying that he is waaaaayyyyy over-drafted for what he can do.
Go heavy early.
You do not maintain perfection, you work for it everyday.

Eh, hind-sight is 20/20 but Bush is the definition of a playmaker, a guy who has the ability to take over a game if used to his strengths. Now, taking that into consideration and understand that he isn't favorable as a #1 back and his draft status doesn't reflect the value at hand but Bush is very shifty in the catching game, the other day, he broke the record for 2nd fastest to catch 200 passes, and he is dangerous in the open field, making teams respect New Orleans' passing game as well as it's return game with Bush as the primary focus.
But I do agree that he shouldn't have been drafted so high, but he's still a good player no matter what with the exception of the run game with Bush as the carrier. At least New Orleans got some compensation from its draft blunder... |

To me, that is not a playmaker. A playmaker is a guy that takes over a game, period. If you can't line up a Running Back to run the ball in order close out the game in the Fourth, then wouldn't you consider his value is lessened?
Yeah, he's a great punt returner, so is Devin Hester that was drafted in the Second Round. I'm sorry, I am just not buying the idea that the #2 overall pick is a specialty player that can't be counted on late in a game is a good player.
