Darren Sproles vs. Reggie Bush: Who's the superior weapon?

Last season, 12 running backs rushed for 600-plus yards while also tallying at least 40 receptions. That list not only includes premier runners like Arian Foster, Maurice Jones-Drew, Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy, but also features two of the NFL's most dynamic multipurpose playmakers: Darren Sproles and Reggie Bush.

Weapon?

Sproles. Hands down.

What we see Sproles do after he gets the ball is everything we wanted Reggie to do.

Bush had 88 receptions (I belive that was arecord for RBs at the time) to lead the team, his first year was a really good one.

I however think the Saints coachingstaff misused Bush during his time in New Orleans. He is not a guy that should get 3 carries, 5 receptions and a puntreturn, thats not the way to get the best out of him. Bush IMO is a rythm player, he need to get touches in order to blossom. And more than anything, don't try to just give him the ball in space, his best runs comes from the Pro formation with a FB in front of him. The Saints were stupidly scared to use him as a everydown back and that was his downfall in NOLA.

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Whilst you are exactly right and I completely agree with you, it was hard for the coaches to give him 10-15 carries a week when he was constantly hurt, he might be playing but he always had something wrong with him

Maybe... time will tell... his having to split time in the backfield here assuredly has lengthened his career in the NFL. Although he sure seemed to be made of porcelain at times. Or was that Kim's fault?
