Bush, to me, was always potential unrealized and a poor-man's Barry Sanders in New Orleans ... he covered a lot of ground sideline-to-sideline like Barry, but without the forward progress or the touchdowns ... he only started half the time due to injury also, eh? I used to hear more about him dating a Kardashian then his game.

Sproles may not have Reggie's numbers or pizzazz, but his first year numbers in NO compare to Bush's production and he's more of what I want a RB to be.

Advantage: New Orleans/Darren Sproles.

Sproles performed at a high level in SD too. Reggie didn't begin to do much of anything while he was here except stay injured. I would love to see these numbers you speak of that Bush has. He may have had the chance to have great numbers if he had been on the field, but he couldn't stay on the field and to me that trumps everything else. Durability is as important as athleticism and skill, and that is where Sproles has Bush beat hands down.
