wanks1212 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Awesome. He deserved it. Very emotional speech as well so far Wow - it really was a landslide too - something like 780 first place votes for Bush and 79 for Young, or about that (I only saw the graphic quickly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fritz Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 He deserved it, he's a stud. I still think Leinart goes #1 though. Naw. Houston - Nope NY Jets - Doubtful Green Bay - Nope San Fran - Nope Reggie deserved the award. Pretty amazing performance this year. Even if I don't think he'll be a good pro*. *Yeah, I went there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Reggie Bush will make a great pro. He's got LT like skills. I think the only way Leinart goes #1 is if a team desperately looking for a QB trades up to that spot to get him, and that probably won't happen.

wanks1212 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Reggie Bush = Gale Sayers Part Deux At least that's what the mainstream media has been saying, if you want to buy that If anything, I think Bush might have durability questions when he initially enters the pros and have a bunch of nagging injuries. After a year or two, though, he'll probably bulk up, these injuries will disappear, and he'll be a damn good RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fan Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Bush is amazing. Durability issues are overrated. Tiki, Dunn, and others have proven that. 8.9ypc....are you kidding me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanks1212 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Oh, I agree with you - I'd take Bush #1, and deal /w durability later, though your Dunn example isn't the greatest. Bush will make adjustments and in his time become one of the top backs in the NFL, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush will make adjustments and in his time become one of the top backs in the NFL, IMO Why is that...for a small back, Dunn has been pretty durable. Additionally, for the guys talking about size....I dont remember Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith being much bigger than Reggie, if at all.

Dunn's been durable, but I don't think many people would consider him a "great" back, which I think Bush will be. Dunn has been more above average than anything, and I don't know how many people ever thought he'd be a great back in the NFL, unlike Bush, who many "experts" are predicting to be The Next Big Thing. I like Dunn - I'd sign him to a reasonable contract and be happy with it - but I wouldn't expect greatness out of him. Bush, on the other hand, I'd expect the world out of based on his college career, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of people expected Dunn to be really good, he averaged like 7 yards a carry his senior year and was a great recieving threat out of the backfield. I lived in Tampa when he was drafted the buzz was crazy. Id say he has had a pretty solid career so far. 4 1,000 yard seasons and probably has his best years ahead of him in the next 3 years. I think comparing college Dunn to Bush per size and career is valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think comparing college Dunn to Bush per size and career is valid. Maybe, but Dunn wasn't considered to be a top 5 pick coming out of college, wheras right now Bush is the consensus #1. I understand your viewpoint, I just disagree. The hype around the two seems totally different to me, though maybe that's because I didn't/don't live in Tally/Tampa or L.A./Houston at the time.

I was not trying to compare Bush to Dunn skill wise. I obviously think Bush is a superior talent. All I was doing is showing an example of how small backs in the NFL have been durable in the past and the knock on Bush's size/durability is overrated.

Mabdul Doobakus Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 IMO, Reggie Bush goes #1 because someone will trade up to get him if the first team doesn't want him that bad. He's one of those special talents that comes along maybe once every 5-10 years. I would say Michael Vick was that last player of this caliber to come out of college. In terms of sheer game-breaking athletic ability, these guys just operate on a different level than everyone else on the field. And some team will be willing to part with quite a lot in order to get him. Matt Leinart's a fine prospect, but he's not special like Bush is. Bush may never be a 25 carry a game type back, but even if he just touches the ball 15-20 times a game and returns kicks, I think he'd still be a major game changer.

fishfan25 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I hate to say it because he plays for usc and because i dont know i just dont like especially the push against nd...but the man deserves it. i was hoping by miracle young would win it but truly bush deserves it. the man makes my jaw drop on some moves that he makes. He in my opinion will be #1 in the draft and rightfully so. also another good thing is, atleast the ball dancing qb didnt win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 A team would be crazy to pass him up, no matter who their RB is... The size of a RB is totally overblown.. and most times irrelevant, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
