Here are some more "stats" you might want to think about:

Which RB has more career fumbles? Hmmmm.....

Which RB has more carries for negative yardage? Hmmmm....

And the kicker.....

Which RB is getting paid way more than they are worth?

Just a few things to look at.

Okay....since you really want to go there...........

Pierre Thomas Career stats (3 years):

Rushing: 1670 yds on 328 attempts (5.1 yds/carry), 16 rushing TD's & 3 fumbles.

Reggie Bush Career stats (4 years):

Dude.....the numbers don't lie & neither do my eyes when I'm at the games watching. Get off Reggie's nuts & watch the games!

i didnt say that your post was untrue......i just pointed out a few omissions from your post

oh and im not one of those guys that feels reggie is better than PT or the other way around

who gives a ****....they both play for the same team and they both do well when they are on the field.....its not like there is less production because one guy is on the bench when another is on the field

Agreed.... But you're still missing my point. Reggie is making more than the elite RB's of the NFL, and hell..... he's not even the best RB on the team. My point, to begin with, is that there are other areas of need that we could be spending that money....DT, OLB, etc... Do I want to have the guy on the team? Hell Yes.... He's a threat w/ freakish speed & athleticism. Do I think he should be making what he's asking for? Hell No..... He hasn't earned that kind of pay day yet.

..... this is typical back-pedaling, subject changing, rhetoric of the modern day Bush fanatic. I'm certain if Reggie actually was the teams bada$$, elite player (like our teams T. Jones or Tomlinson) and played the featured role as expected... that all these "whatever" people would be constantly assuring interest in his counterparts that Reggie is the Man and you can't F--- with a good thing etc. The fact is, there is now little to no argument as to why Reggie should be the man and little argument

So, "I don't care, they both play for the same team" only sounds good, because there is no longer any valid argument for Reggie to be featured. I've seen arguments for the last 4 years in defense of Reggie and supporting the fact that he should get the majority of touches and that Pierre is a second string for a reason, and Pierre couldn't carry Reggie jock strap...etc...... well, as the roles have changed.... now, no Reggie fanatic cares, because they both play for the saints, right!
