Default Anyone else gettng tired of Bush-mania

ESPN has had several post draft shows, about three quarters of the time in all shows they discussed Reggie Bush.

He has now become an unstoppable force. He will revolutionize New Orleans.

Last night Salisbury said DCs in the NFC South were lieing awake at night trying to think of a way to try to stop Reggie Bush.

Evidently no NFL team can beat a team featuring Reggie Bush. Even if that team is the New Orleans Saints.

What?

Perhaps NFL South DCs could watch the Championship Game again.

They would see a team featuring Reggie Bush losing. And losing to a team whose defense is great, but cannot match that of Carolina, Tampa Bay or even the Falcons.

Yeah, Reggie Bush is great. Yeah, he is a difference maker. He can make teh same difference to the Saints that Barry Sanders made to the Lions. Even Walter Payton didn't make the difference for the Bears. When they won the SB, it wasn't because of the Bears "46" running game.

Enough with the hype. A little common sense would be appreciated.

Unimaginable what we would be barraged with if he fell to the Jets.

Yes I am, but doesn't that belong on the political forum?

At first I thought this was another Parking Lot thread.

I was sick of the Bush hype before he was even drafted. The guy is going to be a colossal bust and I'm not talking about Dolly Parton.

I do like Bush as a player but this combo package of Barry Sanders and Gale Sayers talk is getting ridiculous.

there's a bad moon risin', and i'm not talkin' 'bout dolly either.
question; can reggie stand up to the hitting in the nfl?
answer: no.
dancing in the hole, fumble-itis, a concussion, topped of by an ugly injury before his rookie season ends.
i'll hate to see it happen, but 'not for long' quickly comes into play.

Not me..... Reggie Bush is the real deal and I wish we had him..... I'm sure Maroney, barring injury, will be a very, very good back but the hype around Bush is deserved and I don't mind it one bit......

Well its the same type of hype that surrounded Lebron James before he went #1 overall to the Cavs.

The media loves writing about STARS, that's all there is to it. They like selling their papers, and ad space and whatnot.

Doesn't mean that Bush doesn't deserve the hype. He probably does. But it's going to be very tough to live up to the hype.

New Orleans is a city that needs some hope, and Bush will give it to that franchise. Whether Bush is enough to turn it around... I'm skeptical but I'm willing to watch.

There's bust potential with every pick. I remember when Keyshawn Johnson came out and he was picked #1 overall. People predicted he'd be one of the all time greats at WR... To me his career has been mediocre at best compared to the expectations. Yes Meshawn has been a solid pro but hardly a 'gamebreaker' or top 3 or even top 5 WR in the league.

So as to Bush I will take a wait and see attitude. Maybe being drafted at #2 saves him from the #1 overall curse. But he IS stuck with the Saints so we'll just have to see about that.
