He wasn't drafted to be a feature back...
He was drafted to sale jerseys. He was NEVER a feature back in College why would you draft a guy to be a feature back who wasn't in college. He sales jerseys. Its was a business draft pick is all it was.

Reggie is a slashing slot WR and a alternating RB and Returner. That is what Reggie is.

This must have been the millionth time you've said this... literally. I already know how you feel about Bush... no need to repeat yourself over and over.

pump fake the screen and run the streak. If O-line protects its TD the first time they run it. Like the only time we sent reggie deep on wheel route in NFC champ. TD

Re: Reggie Bush - WR

Henderson walks away FA then maybe Bush can do spot duty flanked out on the edge.

Its still true.
Still needed to be said when you call him a feature back, I figure I'd at least put a disclaimer there.

Re: Reggie Bush - WR

Now see this goes back to you having trouble understanding things. I said he was drafted to be a franchise back. When you draft a player that high, they're usually looked upon being a franchise player... someone you build around. I didn't call him a franchise back... but since we're on the subject, I do believe he will develop into one in time.

He certainly wasn't drafted just to sell jerseys because that absolutely retarded. He was drafted to help us win games.

Well it would also be retarded to think that drafting Reggie was a football decision because there were other players in other areas we needed more than another feature RB.

Re: Reggie Bush - WR

He was drafted to sell jerseys. Saints sold a lot of jerseys after making it to the conference championship game. Thats how you sell jerseys you win games, make it to the playoffs, win your division, make it to one game away from the Superbowl. What ever you want to label him or however you define his playing style one year we pick 2nd in the draft and we go further than this team has ever gone before. Does Bush get all the credit nah I'm not saying that. By the same token can you say we would have gotten there without him. Well some may say sure we would have gone all the way if he wasnt holding us back. Me I would always rather see #26 running the ball but that aint gonna happen anymore so if not #26 I'll pull for #25.
So to those who say he is a bust or we passed on better players since there is no way to prove your point give him a little credit for helping this team get further than it ever has. After our underachieving 0-4 start we have a shot at finishing with a winning record 2 years in a row. How many times has that happened in our rich winning history? 2nd on the team in receptions I'll give the numbers of his average when he runs or catches when I start a post giving props to the o-line.
I hope he continues to improve and stays a Saint for life. I like to see the blackngold on Subway,Visa or whatever else he shots commercials for. And he makes those companies kick in a little money for the rebuild of NO.
