Saints running back addresses pending lawsuit, knee injury- NOLA.com

"I plan to take on a whole new approach as far as our road to the Super Bowl. Hopefully, that's where our destiny ends up," said Bush, who experienced the first losing season he can remember in 2007 and faced more criticism and skepticism than ever before about his ability to succeed at the NFL level.

"I feel like I have a lot to prove, a lot to try to make up for, what we lost last year. I feel like we all have a sense of urgency, and we have a lot to make up," said Bush, who did not require surgery to repair the torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. "It wasn't just tough for me, it was tough for everybody. It was such an up-and-down season. It was a very energy-draining season mentally. Hopefully, this season we can get off to a good start and just concentrate on one win at a time.

I have a TON of faith in Bush as well. I really am getting sick and tired of reading "some" saints fans talking about trading Bush for another player. It is rediculous to even think that. He will develop into a great player, we as fans just need to be patient and wait for him to grow into an all around star.

Yeah, it's way too early to write Bush off. I really think until he adds a little weight that the Saints should understand he is a role player only. It's time to maybe forget about him as a primary ball carrier type, but with that said, he could be a huge weapon for the Saints. I believe he should be the guy to return all punts and kickoffs, be that number 3 WR type, and the occasional running play. Pretty much how he was used in 06 with the added duty of kickoff returner. Put all of that together and the guy can get his 15 plus touches a game, and be a legitimate threat to turn a game around.

What would it take to write off Bush?
How unproductive of an 08?
How many unproductive years?
Not saying I am ready to write him off - I just want to know what others think.

Hearing Bush Jokes at the NBA Allstar game was tough to take.
