Alk said:Wow, I don't even know what to say anymore. I guess by those standards, Maroney has blown the NFL off of the face of the earth. Hype sucks!!
I just recently started listening to those guys and I don't know how Golic doesn't reach over and *****slap that guy.captain stone said:Yes, it does.
Unless they are interviewing a reporter, I find M & M unlistenable. That little gweep Greenberg's man-love for NYC nauseates me.
Be that as it may, Houston really should have drafted Bush.
So are you telling me that they added ALL of Bush's yards just to compare with the rest of the rookie RB's rushing yards? Wow, that is just sad.Franchise12 said:The Nfl Is trying to hard to make him seem like an all world player. a few deys ago on tv there was a segment about rookie backs. there was a graphic showing all the current rookie RB RUSHING numbers, except Bush who they had at #1 because they decided to add his TOTAL yards. Jerious norwood and maroney are better rookie backs than bush.
Yeah that is definitely a huge stretch. He is a rookie and he is having a respectable rookie year... but I have a strong feeling he will tail off as the year reaches December... rookies are used to 11-12 games, not 16.SCPatBoy said:I mean I have got to think that as of right now Bush and Vick are the 2 most overrated players in the NFL (Maybe Big Ben also).

The entire point of the national media on Bush is that he is a unique type of player. He is lining up in the slot as much as he is lining up in the backfield. We here it time and time again, about how difficult the adjustment is from College to the Pro's for WR's. Well here is a rookie RB, who has jumped right in to the WR position and is being extremely productive.
He returned a punt for a game winning Touchdown. Thats huge. The Saints, which were a colossal flop the last two years, are playing well.
Unless you have been watching film on the Saints, how do you know how much Bush is effecting the defensive playcalling and personnel?? You dont think that Marques Colston is seeing a ton of one vs one coverage because of how much attention Defenses are paying Bush over the middle?
Reggie Bush is a weapon. There are so many people on this board trying to knock this guy down, its friggin ridiculous.
BB preaches Versatility more than any coach in the league. His players preach it. Versatility is the Patriots mantra. You would think, as patsfans, that the people on this board would recognize Reggie Bush for what he is, the most versatile RB to ever come out of college.
Wake the f*ck up, get your heads out of your asses. This guy is an enormous talent. He's 5 weeks into his professional career, and he is already doing something no other player has ever done. Succesfully playing both WR and RB. Even Marshall Faulk, consider by most to be the biggest threat coming out of the backfield ever, is impressed by him.
National media hype is always going to be overblown, get OVER IT! Feel blessed that this guy got all the attention, and a guy like Maroney dropped to #21! This constant barrage against Bush just makes this board look like it has zero Football IQ. We already have NEM for that, we dont need anymore than him.
And he isn't even in the top-30 in receiving yards. That tells me he has a pathetic yards-per-catch.hughthehand said:Bush leads the NFL in receptions.
You need to calm down, son. The worst anyone is saying about him here is that he isn't "lighting the NFL on fire." If that's knocking him down, then tough sh*t. Deal with it becuase it's the truth.hughthehand said:Reggie Bush is a weapon. There are so many people on this board trying to knock this guy down, its friggin ridiculous.
Well let's see where he is 10 weeks from now.hughthehand said:Wake the f*ck up, get your heads out of your asses. This guy is an enormous talent. He's 5 weeks into his professional career, and he is already doing something no other player has ever done. Succesfully playing both WR and RB.

Nobody is saying that he's not good but he is way overhyped. How does it make sense to compare him to the rest of the rookie RBs but use his receiving stats as the only base for comparison?patsox23 said:The voice of reason. Thank you. Maroney's awesome, we're thrilled to have him, but Reggie Bush can be good at the same time. They're different type players, each with his own way of producing. Relax, people. Just be glad we have Maroney.
