I don't think it matters whether he starts or not, but he should definitely play in the game if the 19 downs that he played last night are enough to evaluate his knowledge of the playbook. If he has at least a basic knowledge of how to run the offensive plays, there's absolutely no reason to have him on the bench. Who cares if he pisses the other guys off. They're supposed to be professionals. No one can deny that he has the skills to make a huge difference in the offense.
The real question I'm asking myself right now is, "Why are these guys upset that Reggie Bush gets paid so much?" You act like he took that money right out of your pocket. If the owner of the franchise thinks he's worth $100 million, then he'll get $100 million.Â
I think the NFL has some of the more reasonable contracts in the sports world. MLB is completely unfair without a salary cap. The collective bargaining agreement in the NBA is far too restrictive. And soccer players get paid rediculous sums of money that make the NFL players look like complete bums.Â
I think this year was a little different than normal. I can't remember a year when the draft was so full of talent. The players in this draft class are incredible athletic specimens. I don't think Reggie Bush is overrated at all - he's the complete package. Vernon Davis is a beast! Mario Williams, A.J. Hawk, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Lendale White, D'Brick - all great potential at the NFL level. With so many great rookies, the prices are going to be driven up. Simple supply and demand.
Proud member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '02. The Aggies are going to make a statement this year. No more losing seasons, and our defense won't give up 40 points a game! Man that was hard to swallow last year.
