Reggie Bush is NOT an NFL running back!!!

[Adidas410s]

20 carries 126 yards 1TD

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I love that he is doing so well, because everybody told me I was full of crap, and that he wasnt big enough to play in the NFL. Now they all feel quite stupid.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

after todays game i now wonder if hes a 2000yd back if given a full season as the starter. I didnt think he would be a good to great back but he is.

[Old Tiger]

I wouldn't want to be a 2000 yard back in the NFL. Backs who have gotten 2000 yards in a season have not been very successful after that.

I give my left one to rush for 2000 yards in a season in the NFL. Idiotic statement.:dispntd: :dispntd: :dispntd:

Jamal Lewis
2003 - 2066
2004 - 1006
2005 - 906
2006 - 986

Terrell Davis
1998 - 2008
1999 - 211
2000 - 282
2001 - 701



Excluded are; Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, and OJ Simpson. Those three are the only ones who had much success after the 2000 yard season. The average career length of a NFL running back is 4 years. 2000 yards rushing has a lot of wear and tear on the player.

Thats a copy and paste right there

[Old Tiger]

The stats are from other websites but the paragraph is not.

I agree w/ Tiger WR. It's hard to take that type of abuse and hold up long term. The more durable backs have stayed consistent and avoided the turn and burn of one hot year.

[bobcat1]

Eric Dickerson:
1983 L.A. Rams 16 390 1808
1984 L.A. Rams 16 379 2105
1985 L.A. Rams 14 292 1234
1986 L.A. Rams 16 404 1821
1987 L.A. Rams/Indianapolis 12 283 1288
1988 Indianapolis 16 388 1659
1989 Indianapolis 15 314 1311
1990 Indianapolis 11 166 677
1991 Indianapolis 10 167 536
1992 L.A. Raiders 16 187 729

He was okay I guess.

and the this guy Barry Sanders:
1989 Detroit 15 280 1470
1990 Detroit 16 255 1304
1991 Detroit 15 342 1548
1992 Detroit 16 312 1352
1993 Detroit 11 243 1115
1994 Detroit 16 331 1883
1995 Detroit 16 314 1500
1996 Detroit 16 307 1553
1997 Detroit 16 335 2053
1998 Detroit 16 343 1491

[bobcat1]

Oh okay anyway I guess we need to exclude everyone except Eddie George then.

[Old Tiger]

Eddie George never got 2000:rolleyes:

[bobcat1]

Yea bit you took out anyone that would qualify. How many other backs ever got 2k?

[Old Tiger]

Only 5 backs have rushed for over 2000 yards in a season; OJ Simpson, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Terrell Davis, and Jamal Lewis. Of the 5 two have not done well after that season. Dickerson, Sanders, and Simpson were good after that. Simpson had only two 1000 yard seasons after that. Dickerson put up good numbers after and Sanders retired two years after he put up the 2000.

[bulldogman06]

you made a bad statement then. if 3/5 of them had good years after 2000, im pretty sure its not a bad thing. if only 2 of them did badly, how can you say you wouldnt want to be a 200 yard rusher? you have a 60% chance of being good again, and a 40% chance of not being great, but bein ok. id take that any day...

Congrats to Reggie. It only took him until the next to last week of the season to break 100 yards rushing in one game. That DEFINITELY assures me he's going to be a legit back for YEARS to come.:rolleyes:

If we're gonna "Wait" on Vince Young and "wait" on Cutler and these other rookies to see if they can hack it then we're gonna "wait" on Reggie Bush as well. So far he's proven that he's one of the worst running backs in the NFL and one of the best "Scatbacks" in the NFL at catching dump off passes and making yards with them. He also happens to play on the NFL's best offense which doesn't hurt him either, ya know?

Still, congrats to him and the Saints. They definitely look like THE team to beat in the NFC.

I agree with this..... He is extremely talented.. no doubt about that. but I think it will be a while before he will be a full time starter. Mainly due to the fact that I dont think he could survive a season as far as injuries goes while being a full time starter. plus it helps when you have a bruiser back like Duece to soften defenses up for you. and a QB and passing attack that keps defense worrying about that as well.

I'd rather be a consistent 1000 yard guy over a longer career. Asside from Dickerson the other's careers did not last very much longer ;).
