Comparing Sproles vs Bush

pherein · 08-09-2011, 12:49 PM

I don't think this topic will ever die until game 8 ,lol., and god help sproles if he gets injured. But I do believe Reggie is the better athlete , and sproles is the better team player. Reggie was always more than we needed for that position, and sproles is a perfect fit for it. Reggie needs to go and experiment with what he is capable of. He should have picked a better team though.
Hes no Jim Brown. I have no idea how good reggie can be , if forced to play 20-40 touches, guess we will find out.
But, sproles is a perfect fit for what we do on offense, and known as a perfect team player. Plus sproles is not over kill for the position, like reggie, and maybe has 4 good years left in him with the limited touches he will have.
Im perfectly happy to have the little lightning bug on our team.

The one negative stat is he fumbles every 30 touches compared to Reggie's every 45 touches and we thought Reggie fumbled too much.

But all but two of them were on kick-offs, which I'm not sure he's even going to do here.

In 6 years he's only fumbled twice from the line of scrimmage.

Sproles will be a more productive football player on the field. The biggest difference is that Bush has national "star power" that brought a lot of attention and cache to the Saints. We'll miss the "Hollywood" buzz that came with Bush but we won't miss anything with Sproles on the football field.
