Five-o, in one of your earlier posts in this thread you named 11 Running Backs that you thought were better than Reggie in college( 6 of them played on teams either in Texas or Oklahoma). They were all great backs no doubt, but who knows the type of numbers Reggie Bush would have had he gotten more carries.
Reggie Bush has only 10 more carries than LenDale White this season, and had 60 Less in 2004. How many of those 11 split carries basically 50/50 with another back like Bush has?
Obviously Bush isnt the best college player when it comes to stats, but splitting carries with another talented runner that is just as good as Adrian Peterson is, and having a Heisman winner at quarterback had a little something to do with that.
*The NFL is going to be absolutely loaded with talented young Running backs in a year after these players are all on rosters.
Steven Jackson, Juilus Jones, Larry Johnson, McGahee, Kevin Jones, Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, Tatum Bell and then you add Bush, Peterson, Moroney, DeAngelo, and LenDale White.
Imagine all those players in their prime at the same time!
Thats just in the last two drafts and this upcomming one + Peterson in 2007.
Tomlinson, Alexander, James, Rudi Johnson, Portis, Dominick Davis are also still very young too.
