Is Bush really the 10th worst draft steel failure?

What is Bush without Payton?

This we'll soon find out.

What is Payton without Bush?

Still an offensive genius. Shouldn't miss a beat.

We may soon find out...

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that the Dolphins will pursue Reggie Bush after the Saints release him.

"From what I'm gathering, the Miami Dolphins might actually set the market for Reggie Bush," La Canfora reported on Total Access. La Canfora also mentioned the Eagles and Rams as teams likely to have interest, but he was the most adamant about Miami. The addition of Bush would bode well for rookie Daniel Thomas, who would likely still dominate carries in that scenario. Bush would handle third downs and probably return punts.

Miami seems like a perfect fit for him... at least playing time wise. He's a pretty good blocker and does well catching ball out the backfield. He would be a big boost to their offense one would think.

If Miami made the same trade for Bush as they did for Rickey I'd be happy.

He's in the perfect environment to be very good. It's likely that if he goes somewhere else the fans could turn on him real soon if he's not productive.

Heck, Reggie hasn't shown he's an Iron man yet, much less steel !

But ESPN sucks. Worthless article.

WTF is a draft "steal failure" anyway? I would think it would have to be someone that was drafted at least below the 1st round...no? Reggie was the 2nd player picked overall...hardly a steal in my book.

The best way that I personally would describe the situation would be a slight disappointment although he has provided many, many highlight reel plays.

Say what you will about him, he still has a SB ring on his finger. He was part of a team that did something no other Saint team could even get close to.

To tell you the truth...I don't know how you can even come up with a list of "worst draft steal failures". Sounds kinda stupid to me.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way. Last edited by papz; 07-13-2011 at 09:16 PM..
