INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
i liken him to the smaller replacement back, sprioles.
who took over for ladainian in sd.
rb needed a bit of seasoning in small steps.
to get adjusted to the pro game mentally, physically/physiologically and skillwise.
before he could have success. given his height and smaller physical stature.
he needed the rampup time and experts had it right about him when he was drafted.
when typically most rb's never are given a chance. outside of luck of the roster or circumstance to rampup.

Nah you're right I forgot dude honestly.
Pretty Much
The Stigma attached to Reggie's game is due to the fact he wasnt dominant right out the gate and is essentially a late bloomer
Unfortunately, there is this idea that if Runningbacks are to be great they are suppose to be great from the very beginning
But there are cases of Backs being late bloomers ala 'Tiki Barber' or Cases of Runningbacks that simply didnt get opportunity to play fulltime like a 'Michael Turner' that excel at the later stages of their career
Reggie is still very Young and is very much in his Prime
If anything being a late bloomer has helped Reggie as he is Excelling now 6-7 Years into his career where were seeing his Peers like Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson who got a ton of touches early in theirs careers starting to fade
The Reggie I Saw Yesterday Was indeed the Gale Sayers Type Player we Expected to see out of College
now i know you can't be from dade
I want my RB to be 230+ and able to run through and around a mofo like 2002 Ricky Williams.
The only small speedy backs i ever liked were Tomlinson and Barry Sanders and those werent that small. Other than that i cant stand the Warrick Dunn/Marshall Faulk type speedy backs. I still respect their game tho. Just not a big fan.
As for your dade comment yeah I'm from dade but i think my own thoughts unlike all the clones that think alike out there
Err... I'd take Marshall Faulk type back on my team any day of the week and I'm a 9er fan... Son would have merunning all over the 9ers D.
Also, the dude ran for 1000 yards last year and had 300 receiving yards on one of the worst teams in the league. Not bad at all to me.
Like I said I respect his game and what he's doing for my team. I'm just not a big fan of small speedy RB's who can't punish defenders on contact. I want that RB who both LB's and DB's rather avoid having to tackle. Gimme the Ricky Williams, Natron Means, Stephen Jackson type RB any day over the speedster. I'll even take the Terrell Davis type
I can't front, I 
Bush. I thought the dude was overhyped and beasted on bums while in USC. I was one of the doubters that thought that since he can't get it done with NO, (I forgot the dude was apart of that super bowl squad too 
) he wasn't gonna be anything special. But he is looking like a late bloomer though. Especailly what he did to my Raiders D-Line and defense. It was 
as a Raider fan. But, props to Bush though, I wouldn't say he should is a top 10 RB yet, even though he had 1000 yards last year, but its week 2 only, but I give it to Reggie, he done proved a lot of dudes wrong.

i like reggie bush.. but if he was so misused in new orleans then how did sproles come in and shyt on reggie's entire saints career in 1 season like that? wasn't he basically taking over the same role that bush played?
serious question.
serious question.
He's on my FF team

A lot of us were in agreement way back onthat he can be a solid RB but never got the shot in NO
looks like Mark Ingram falling into that hole now
crazy considering Deuce McCallister and the run game was the staple in the Saints offense

Have Fun Staying Poor
dude has been a top 10 running back in the league since week 8 of last year

Yep and that O is NOT designed for a RB like Ingram to be the type of back we ALL know he can be in this league. I knew it last year when they tried to force him against GB in game 1 last year and the offense looked awkward in trying to force the run
