As long as he stays out of the AFC West and away from the fuking Redskins, I really don't care who he plays for.

Bush is over-rated. This is the right choice.

Just like Courtney Brown?

ROFL

Number 1 overall.

Only if Bush has a creative offensive coordinator...because that's a bunch of jack tied up in a guy that only will carry the ball 10-15 times a game. The DE is thewise choice for the Texans.

you are crazy if you think he is only going to get 15 touches...

LOL...I guess they like the guy from Durham better.

Why would he be able to when he couldn't in college? Further more...in the biggest game of his life...why was he sitting on the bench? He's a great talent, but he's not worth the money. I also said carries...you said touches...which would imply recpetions...which is why I stipulated a creative OC.

he was sharing the backfield with White. And, if he is getting paid big bucks, then it would stand to reason that he would be asked to carry the load. Williams is a great pick, BUT not the pick. Bush is going to light up the league. Houston is a joke.

Now you might be right but part of the reason for the outrage is that ever since Vince Young announced that he was turning pro, the TEXANS have been spinning everything Reggie's way. Folks here were just getting convinced that Bush was the right choice. I'm betting that the Williams pick came down to $$$ meaning he was going to be easier to sign so the TEXANS went that route.

He's not going to light up the league. That's crazy talk when you consider which awful team he's going to play against. If he was good enough to carry the ball every down he would have. Like I said...to use him properly you're going to have to line him up wide and throw the ball down field to him....if he gets open. These aren't 18-19 year olds he's playing in the frickin PAC-10. 24 million in signing bonus is a bunch of jack to have tied up in a running back. Plus they already have a good back in Davis...making Williams or Brickshaw the better choices.

Tell ya what...turn in you ESPN card...they've sold you a bum bag of goods.

You're exactly right here. I have no problem with Willimas at all, but at #1, I sure would if I were a TEXAN fan.

Of course it came down to the money. Were the Texans selling the public Bush...or was ESPN and the media? Because every report I've read has said that they hardly even met with Bush and met with Williams to talk contract first.

Oh, so Reggie Bush wasn't good enough to get more carries in college? Okay. I get it. Color me dumb. See I was under the impression he was playing on a loaded college team, a team he also returned kicks and punts for... but it turns out he was just not very good. Okay. Got it. Let me just... mark that down... and... done. I feel better now.
See I tend to think that Bush can carry the load in the pros. Is he going to lead the league in yardage his rookie year? No, probably not. But he will electrify. I understand that as a Texans fan, one might be in a world of shock right now - the first stage is denial, the second is booing the GM, the third is going 3-13 again. But, what do I know.

I will never understand why everyone is no infatuated with Bush. I think much of the bush appeal has been built up by the media. In the nfl; it is hard for me to see him as much more than a change of pace back. Best case scenerio; he is warrick dunn. If he wasn't in SoCal it would be different.
