The Truth About Reggie

Euphoria · 03-17-2008, 04:12 PM

Well I will disagree that his "value" has yet to be determine. His value is exactaly what he gets paid. He brings a lot of fan base and attention to a team that needed it at the time. His Dollar vaule is also based on seats and jerseys - not for what he does on the field only, obviously off the field as well.

Again we get exactly what we drafted and paid for.

What is funny to me is that all the expectaions people have are FALSE! He is going to be the player he was in college. All of a sudden you are going to turn him into a RB or a WR??? come one... he's exactly the same Reggie. USC - NFL, he crossed over to the same player he was and will always be, a roll player and nothing more.

Role player or not at USC he was VERY productive and that is what people were looking at when he was coming out. I agree that he created excitement and is putting money in the team's pockets and I am sure that played alot into the decision to draft him along with his productivity. I really think it is too early to tell but he has not lived up to the hype but he hasn't been totally unproductive either.

A role player is exactly what he was drafted to be. Payton saw him fitting in at multiple positions to give the defense headaches. The problem is that Reggie's been asked to fill too many roles. PR KR WR RB. And he should NEVER have been meant to be a feature back, but thanks to Deuce's injury that's where he landed.

We can all debate about whether or not he's worth the $$$ but the bottom line is that he's done everything that's been asked of him. He's played everything but defense. That's where the "value" comes from in my book.

It's true that Reggie Bush has brought more to the team and the city off the field than he has on the field. But when he's on the field he's dangerous. Plain and simple. This is the year for him.

I tend to think we agree on this topic however you contridicted yourself by agreeing he is a role player but then stated he is being asked to do to much... he is asked to play those roles... as a role player. That is what a role player does. "Play this role and make something happen"!

I do agree being the feature back was NEVER the intention nor should anyone thing that... yet they do.
