Think about the reaplacement we got and for the savings? You cannot beat this trade.

Just think, Bush DOES NOT play for Atlanta, Carolina or Tampon Bay!

i wish he DID play for one of those teams. He SUCKS!!!! just stand in front of him and you know he is headed for the sidelines or if you touch him he will go down. why are people scared of reggie bush?!?!?!?

Amaya (who is ERFA) and the switcheroo with the 6 round picks - that is all.

...well not quite all - we also got the weekly relief of him playing for another team.

so, go back 5 1/2 years when the city was ECSTATIC that Houston took Williams, leaving us Bush.
Who knows what would have happened?

Don't get me wrong... Bush was exactly the right pick for the Saints all things considered.

It's hard to see how picking a defensive player would've created the same atmosphere of excitement, and while Williams had a fine rookie season it wasn't until 2007-2008 when his true potential shone through.

Also, having Deuce as the workhorse helped Bush tremendously, and he wouldn't have had that in Houston.
