reggie bush gets hype because he makes the defense plan aganist him even though he didn't have a rookie season as good as Jones or Addai defenses always thought about him and allowed for other players to have good games such as deuce, brees, colston, and henderson.

Hah, you've got to be kidding me.  Go watch those Saints games and see what happens when they fake the ball to Reggie.  I can remember one play where they faked it to him and Devery Henderson took it on the reverse to the house, that was because, yup, the defense thought it was going to Reggie.

^ trust us Netyankeagle teams have to adjust to a guy like reggie especially when he lines up on the slot something Jones Drew does not do btw teams have mismatches because of reggie did you catch the bears saints game this year? if ya did im sure you remember the play where bush lined up to the slot caught the pass and took it to the house

He gets hype because he makes plays like he does. Did you not see the play where he ripped up the Bears D? That play alone is why he gets the hype he does. Then you stack up all the other great plays and he surpasses the hype. He may have taken a few games to get going but the kid can play. Jones Drew is good as well but he can't do all the things Reggie can. End of story.

Reggie is a hype machine, but he's also a very good, and a very marketable player. You shouldn't ignore him just because there's better players out there.

because he makes plays nobody else can make.  IMO he'll be (if not already) the best player in football in 2 years.

Most NFL playeres are just a product of the system they're in, but not him.

That whole product of the system talk is BS every team has a system so that must mean every NFL player is a system player wrong.  Some players just have more football smarts then others and can learn playbooks faster so there well prepared thats what makes them good.  Also Bush will be the next Tomlinson not now but he will be the guy is a freak thats why he was taken number 2 overall and he was a once in a lifetime player like Calvin Johnson.

College has EVERYTHING to do with the NFL. Seeing as we don't draft players from other countries or straight out of high school. Reggie Bush tore things up in college in a way we hadn't seen in a long time. Great speed, agility, vision. He had what NFL teams drool for.

On that reverse against the Atlanta game, the ENTIRE defense broke after Bush. You can say "they'd have done that for anybody", but because of all the hype Bush commands alot of attention and I just don't see them biting as hard if Deuce had the ball. As a defense you gotta make sure you find Bush everytime the Saints line up on offense.

Edgerrin James

Kurt Warner

Those are a couple big system guys.  I mean Edge's numbers dropped WAAAY off and what did Kurt Warner go from....2 time MVP to bench warmer in Arizona...c'mon.  

The biggest stars in the NFL are the O and D Linemen and they never get the credit....not the position players.

 How is it that all these big named starts get traded for 4th round picks every year  *cough* Randy Moss *cough* if it didn't have TONS to do with the system and that most NFL players are replaceable.

All NetYankEagle can ever come up with is "Do you even watch football?!?!?!!?" and Randy Moss for a 4th pick because the Raiders wanted to get rid of him they knew they weren't going to get anything higher then that. There is no such thing as a system player thats all BS because EVERY football team has a system. What makes you good is your football intelligence for instance Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are so good at making reads and understanding defenses then others which allows them to find the open man. Kurt Warner and Edgerrin James there getting older now especially Warner so you can't expect him to be what he used to be in St. Louis plus that Cardinals O-line sucks nobody could gain any yards rushing through that.

Ha ha... But no Bush will not be the next Tomlinson. 

There's one thing that LT has that Bush doesn't and that's...power. 

Tomlinson has the power to break tackles with ease whether it an inside or outside run.  How often has LT rushed the ball and defenders are dragged around just before he breaks the tackle?  Bush is fast, agile, versatile, has decent hands, and yes he is a playmaker.  But until he develops the power to run inside the tackles in the NFL level, don't ever compare him to LaDanian Tomlinson.  LT is on the highest level that no other RB at the moment can reach just yet.

If you watch the Saints games you'll note that Reggie doesn't get many carries up the middle because that's what Deuce does best.

That means nothing because when Deuce would get a couple a plays off the Saints would still attempt to rush the ball through the interior line, so they had chances to use Bush.  He isn't effective running the ball up the middle.  Thomas and Benson on the Bears both had enough power to go up the middle.  Bush has no power.  He will develop that power in due time.

LOL kart was washed up.everyone gets old after getting hit and having injuries.So what LT is good only because of his system???LT was putting up 1600 yards when the chargers were 4-12 and a thrash team.I agree about edge do.He had payton to distract the offense.Ohh reggie will be great, but he will not touch LT.

Jones is a good player, a big surprise for the Jaguars, but realistically, as much as I like Jones, he isn't better than Bush.  Bush is the better overall player.

Jones-Drew just wasn't a weapon until the half of the season... Nobody really cared if he got 1,000,000 touchdowns per game.
