I must admit, I don't think he's a big name player either. I view him as a scat back, and an important piece to Payton's offense, but he's just a versatile scat back who will probably only get about 8 touches per game.

IMO, Sproles is at least a big name player as much as Bush.
The only things Bush has over Sproles was bigger hype coming out of college and a Super Bowl ring. Bush will not have anywhere near as much success in Miami as he did New Orleans. |

I'm under he same thinking. He had his best case scenario in NO. Accurate passer, surrounded by talent, enough in fact that there was no queston the Saints could win without his services. Miami has a decent team but I think they will need more production out of him. I fail to see that happening.

I don't either.
Barring injuries, the Saints should finish at least 12-4. I don't see the Dolphins even making the playoffs this year. |
