Who would you trade Bush for?
 
I know its crazy... but if you were GM, and had the power who would it be?.Ive named a few in the poll, but feel free to add some...Just a hypothetical scenario....

seriously, any of the above.

add, any of many other pro-bowl caliber DE's, particularly better pass rushers. And just about any other NFL's starting running backs.... but particularly, Ray Rice would be sweet! I love that guy. I like me some P.T., but Rice is nice (too)!

Peterson or Willis, other than that pass.

^^ Wow, I know it's hypothetical, but really... not even Rice?

Ray Rice 2009 stats: yards from scrimmage: 2041
Rushing: Att: 254 / Yds: 1339 / TD's: 7 / Long: 59 / Avg: 5.3
Receiving: Rec: 78 / Yds: 702 / Y/R: 9.0 / TD's: 1 / Long: 63

Reggie Bush 2009 stats: yards from scrimmage: 725
Rushing: Att: 70 / Yds: 390 / TD's: 5 / Lng: 55 / Y/A: 5.6
Receiving: Rec: 47 / Yds: 335 / Y/R: 7.1 / TD: 3 / Long: 29

Do you know something I don't know? Aside from being the real deal on the ground, he puts on a way better display in the passing game than our own "receiving back" Bush.... so spare me the Bush as a WR or even as a Decoy B.S.

Eh...none of them, really. Especially not Adrian "Fumblina" Peterson.

And don't try to change my mind with stats and all that bull****. I am probably one of the few people that doesn't go "ooh ahh" everytime they show an AP highlight reel.

Nope..watched the same games...just know he aint going nowhere...lol..hence the hypothetical scenario...

on that note, I remember when all the Saints fans thought that we were doomed without Joe Horn and that there was no chance he was going anywhere..... then there was to be no life after Deuce, and so on.....

does Bush do anything better than his counterparts?

We don't need Rice since we got PT. I think the combo of PT and Bush is an excelent one. I'd just would like us to add Gerhart to the mix in the draft.

We won the superbowl with Bush..so i have soft spot for him...and he can be deadly..He showed some toughness i had never seen..and i hope that continues...But i will admit he's grossly overpaid..im sure Loomis will fix that..

Point taken, but I think Rice would be like the potent combo that won most of our games of Pierre and Bell. Rice would just be a much better Bell. Don't know if you remember, but probably about half of our games were won in convincing fashion with Bush getting about 2-6 balls. A lot of times, they tried to get something going with him on the ground and abandoned early on. Rice would be just as potent a WR threat.

I think the efficiency of Bush is a vast exaggeration in many peoples minds, and then when he does something up to par with what the majority of NFL RB's are doing, it get's exaggerated, as if it's a relief from fans holding out for something good.
