According to that Yahoo thing Reggies value was gaining 998 yds in 12 games. Not the focal point of an offense but good enough for 80 yds a game some of which he might have been hurt. With Reggies 73 catches and his 5.7 YPC he was not utilized correctly. Alot of those catches were thrown to him at the line of scrimage as a dump-off for Brees. I'm sure those LBs were happy to see Bush standing at the line waiting for that pass instead of running past them getting into open space.
Just like many teams in the NFL our offense is not just a one-man show. We have alot of weapons and alot of ways to spread the field and Bush greatly helps with that. If we ever get to see that play action fake to Deuce with Reggie being covered by a LB with the pass being thrown to Reggie while he is on the move it will be worth the price of admission.
I think about that pass against the Bears in the NFC championship game and they should try a play like that every game. I dont know the numbers but he has caught alot of passes in his 2 years and that has to be included like Westbrook when you look at his value. Reggie you can run him and call any pass route then have him do it that is his value.
