Sellers' Remorse, Anyone?
 
Reggie Bush shredded the Panties:

8 rushes for 48 yards
2 catches for 33 yards.

Good runs between the tackles, and he didn't get hurt.

Go get'em Reggie!

Anyone want him back?

Srgt. Hulka 08-19-2011 11:28 PM

I wish him the best, but It was sure hard to watch.

QBREES9 08-19-2011 11:30 PM

I'm happy for him. Good Luck Reggie ! Thanks aging for everything you did for N'awlins. That Super Bowl win.

MatthewT 08-20-2011 02:11 AM

No way should the Saints ever consider sellers remorse. We all know a healthy Reggie can actually cause some major damage. The problem is healthy Reggie was rarely around most of his Saints career. I am very happy for the guy to get a fresh start, but don't get fooled by those numbers he put up in a meaningless preseason game. If recent history holds to form he is going to get at least dinged and his production will go into a nose dive. To me, I think the Saints got over on the Dolphins by getting something in return on a guy who would have been an obvious salary cap causality.

FinSaint 08-20-2011 05:45 AM

Good performance undoubtedly, but it's not the first time Reggie is the king of pre-season! Unfortunately, as we all know, that pre-season form rarely showed up in the actual season... naturally all the injuries played also a part in that.

LBCutta 08-20-2011 05:49 AM

we are forgetting one thing. He was running against the Panthers defense....

Saint_LB 08-20-2011 07:00 AM

This is one of the other stories I will be following during the season besides the main story, the Saints, of course. It will be interesting to see what happens in Miami.

I am interested in the Tebow story, the Plaxico story, the Cam Newton story, and the Philadelphia Eagles story, will Eli have to eat his words or prove he got snubbed in the "Top 100" poll story. Isn't the NFL great...most of the time?

saintsfan1976 08-20-2011 07:33 AM

Remember when he "shredded" the Titans in preseason with us?

Knees. Shot. Career. Nearing it's end.

Add to that; New England, The healthy Falcons and Josh Freeman.

ALLSAINTS66 08-20-2011 08:01 AM

H#LL NO.

Of *course* he's working his butt off. Cause he looks like an idiot
for getting traded. But as soon as he gets comfortable... same old
Reggie. He's Ricky Williams #2. He'll do some damage at Miami
here and there, but never live up to the hype. Getting rid of him
was the best thing the Saints have done since saying "Ta ta"
to Aaron Brooks.

strato 08-20-2011 08:48 AM

We lost our biggest threat out of the backfield....Shockey looked good to...i hope losing these guys doesn't bite us in the a$$..i like adding youth..but sometimes that can take a few years to develop...

Speaking of healthy, we might add the healthy Packer team trying to repeat story.

Ingram likely is as well.

Bush wasn't that big of a threat out of the backfield.

Euphoria 08-20-2011 09:09 AM

I don't care. Don't want him back.

Yet to be seen my friend....

FinSaint 08-20-2011 09:27 AM

I would be really concerned if I was a FinFan (pun intended) 'cos If Bush goes down (which he in all probability does) during the season, they only have that promising rookie kid Daniel Thomas and the rest of the RBs on their roster are just not impressive... Grigsby, Sheets and Hilliard.

st thomas 08-20-2011 10:38 AM

he's gonna have his days fella's just like here , when hes on the field. aha, thats it wish them some luck guys, we did'nt have much keeping him on the field. go get-um regg.

LBCutta 08-20-2011 10:48 AM

Bush is going to the AFC. Where the defense is just all around better. He'll be dancing around and getting smashed in no time...Last night he played the worst team in the NFC in PRESEASON...not concerned.

strato 08-20-2011 10:59 AM

Just watched the first half of that game..Bush looked great i have to say..he was all over the dam place..

Memnoch_TP 08-20-2011 11:12 AM

It doesn't matter how good he looks. Penn & Teller look like they do real magic too. They don't. Unlike Reggie, they do a good job of keeping up the consistency of the illusion, and they aren't oft injured in the process.

And maybe Ingram too.

Well he looked like Houdini last night....that is all:)

We've all seen the Houdini act...in more than one way. He is an evasive runner, but we also saw his disappearing act one too many times.

I wish him well, though.

Danno 08-20-2011 12:22 PM

Ask me after week 9.

Did you forget that before Drew Brees, Aaron Brooks was the BEST QB to put on a FDL dont give me that Manning crap either stat for stat Brooks is better and Archie turned the ball over more. Reggie looked pretty good just like he did in N.O when he "played" their offense looks bad though the qb issue is blatent

Crusader 08-20-2011 01:23 PM

I don't know about sellers remorse, I just hope does real well unless he is playing the Saints, never gona have nothing but love for Reggie. he did so much to create excitement around this franchise.

AB was crap. If Archie had the team AB did, his numbers would have been much different. Stats don't tell you everything. Go watch some of Archie's games. You obviously have to if you have to use stats to compare the two. Guess you didn't see any AB games either, where he would pile up huge stats in garbage time, when we were so far behind the opposing teams didn't care if we scored two or three times.

And the better he plays the higher the compensation is.

Go Reggie!!!!

Other than the original post, is anyone really taking it more seriously than that?

Or is that specifically what you're referring to?

hagan714 08-20-2011 04:19 PM

there is wide speculation that the draft pick(s) involved are conditional on his performance.

RUN REGGIE RUN

TheDeuce 08-20-2011 05:02 PM

Good for him, I hope he does well the rest of the way. Can't really say seller's remorse, though, after one preseason game. We all know Reggie CAN play well, it's just whether or not he actually will when the games really matter. I feel good about our backfield situation this season, plus we got a draft pick for him, which is incredible in my opinion.

gandhi1007 08-20-2011 06:29 PM

I will second that "HELL NO". Dude shredded a poor Panthers defense with an offensive line built for the run. We are much, much better off without him.

If we would have received a bag of chips & a soda, we still would have come out ahead. Getting a draft pick for him was icing on the cake. ;-)

homerj07 08-20-2011 07:35 PM

i still give him only 4-5 games befoe somehting happens

Maverick2299 08-20-2011 08:40 PM

eh...he did that for the saints too....twice a year.

Mardigras9 08-20-2011 08:44 PM

Agree with Homer, he"ll be on the sidelines soon. He's not built for the kind of abuse he is asking for.

BlueDevil1978 08-20-2011 09:31 PM

Good pre-season game for Reggie.
Good for him.
Hope he can keep it up.

Unfornuately, he couldn't keep it up for the Saints, especially when they needed him up in Seattle.
And we definitely don't need a $12M decoy!

SapperSaint 08-20-2011 09:37 PM

I wish him the best and I'm greatful (well, kinda greatful) for his time in NOLA.

No remorse, no regets; for drafting hm or seeing him let go. IMHO, it was time to cut bait.

HAIL MING!

OldMaid 08-20-2011 10:41 PM

Good for him. The very best wishes for him fora good, healthy season.
Whoever wins or loses, whatever team wins, makes great plays, makes awful plays, whatever, none of it matters during preseason.
This is the time to try things out and everyone out so to speak.

Bobby Hebert, Billy Kilmer, and Archie manning were all better than Brooks. Stats mean zip. Hell, Chrissy Everett was better than Brooks.
