Realistic numbers!

Realistically, what type of numbers should we expect from our #1 draft pick this year? How much time will he get and will he return punts?

I don't see him being the full-time return man. To implement him in the offense, the coaches are going to want to keep him fresh.

I see Bush catching ATLEAST two passes a game and averaging anywhere from 20-50 total yards receiving.
I predict him carrying the ball no more than 10 times a game and averaging 30-50 total yards rushing.

agreed 90 combined recieving and rushing.

D24pick · 08-24-2006, 08:44 PM

I say 95 yards a game

55 Rushing
40 Recieving

6-8 TD's a game???? hell yea!!! hehe nah i kno yer kidding......I say around 120 all purpose yards a game and ten scores........

IMHO, I'm thinking more along the lines of 60-70 yards rushing and receiving.....3 or 4 TD's for the year....and it all depends on how much they let him return punts for his all-purpose yards.

He's the next Thurman Thomas. He is going to be a true all-purpose offensive player. The only thing I think he needs......is a little more bulk. I'll say....avg. 60 yds rushing and 50 yards catching per game.
