So is Houston mad that McNair didn't make the Carl Peterson move and decid that asses in the seats are more important then Ws in the left column?
If Houston fans/media are really putting that much stock in a player that is "exciting" and "interesting to watch" then they should have just traded their #1 pick for Michael Vick. I am sure he would put plenty of asses in the seats. There isn't an exact parallel between Vick and Bush, because Bush on a team like the Panthers or Broncos would be a gigantic boost capable of making them Super Bowl worthy, and Vick is still more of a side show.
With that said, it still seems pretty evident that if you would have put Bush on Houston's team from last season, they still would have been a five win or less team. For every big run he would have broken off because of his great moves and speed, he would have got hammered multiple times behind LoS due to horrible blocking. Carr would have still been getting hammered two seconds after the handoff, and the defense still would have horrible.
For all anyone in the NFL knows, if Houston tried to lean on him like the Chargers did on LT from 2001-2003, the poor guy might have just broken under a gigantic load he was not used to carrying. Even if he did still manage to shine through, it wouldn't have really mattered if the rest of the team around him was still being dominated.
