I think he should have been the first overall pick. His production has been pretty good over three years, especially given that he was in RBBC with McAllister and others:
1550 yards rushing, 12 TDs
1599 yards receiving, 8 TDs
4 TDs on punt returns
I wouldn't call that a bust at all.
I never liked Leinart. Always thought he was overrated. But I think it's too early to call him a bust too.
I think Colt can be the QB2. He was on 1420 the other morning and said he is about 90 percent healthy. Did you hear they also signed Chase Daniels?
2008 New Orleans Saints 10 9 106
404 3.8 2007 New Orleans Saints 12 10 157
581 3.7 2006 New Orleans Saints 16 8 155
565 3.6 Bush has created 1150 yards rushing (516 per year) and 1600 yards receiving (533 per year) with a 3.6 ypc avg over the last 3 years (That ypc avg is poor). 8 td's per year over three years for the 24 td's. This cost the Saints 20 million + in guaranteed money. You could have drafted a rb and a wr in the second and third round that could match that same production over three years for under 4 million bucks in guaranteed money. Bush = bad draft choice. Actually, the Saints could have had Jone Drew at #43 and Brandon Marshal at #108, traded down from their first rounder with some retard who thought Bush was a great player and had Antonio Cromartie (while creating an extra second or third rounder for 2007).
Hindsight is 20/20 but you get the point. Bush takes away from what the saints could add with his high cost vs production ratio. What you listed is not worth what he is being paid.
Bush is a crappy rb who is to small to be an every down player. he's explosive but pretty much ineffective in between the tackles and is hurt all the time. He's a good pass catcher, but so what, they throw the ball every down. Williams was by far the better choice.
