Bush: The “Bust” that continues to set NFL Records
How does this bust continue to set NFL records? The experts, commentators, NFL scouts, and GM’s have given their opinions on Reggie Bush and his production in his first two years in the NFL. The usual label of “BUST” has been mentioned time and time again. However, Reggie has quietly produced in areas they have not focused. The first is receptions. Reggie, a running back, set and tied NFL records his last two games. He and the Cardinals’ Boldin, a wide receiver, have more receptions in their first 33 and 34 games of an NFL career at 199 and 200 respectively than anyone ever to start their careers.
Boldin’s record is typical because wide receivers get the ball thrown to them more than other positions in the NFL, but Bush’s record is UNIQUE. Reggie and Drew Brees have connected faster than the any other QB—RB tandem in NFL history. Just think about this: Bush didn’t play in four games last year, therefore, he would have shattered the record earlier than Boldin.
This number is very impressive. We must credit Payton’s play—calling and Bree’s execution, but most of all, Reggie’s hands. If we equate most of those receptions as handoffs in the “West Coast Offense,” then Reggie’s “run production is definitely better than his handoff run production that has been over criticized weekly. If Reggie had a dollar for every ESPN, FOX, CBS, and NBC analyst to say the word “BUST” in reference to Reggie’s running back skills, I bet Reggie wouldn’t need the outside endorsement dollars to be a multi—millionaire.
Mr. Bush is making his mark on the NFL in an unique manner. Not to mention that he tied the two punt return for touchdowns mark in the Vikings game. Will he ever be what they want him to be? No. Will he have the impact they want him to have? No. We must not forget that Reggie set two records in his first year. First, the most receptions by a rookie running back. Second, the 80—yard touchdown reception in the NFC Championship game. But I have a sneaky suspicion that by time his career in the NFL will begin to fade into the twilight, Reggie will have an impact on the game that no one expected. RECORD SETTER, not Bust! He’s just a man that does it HIS WAY.

I couldn’t agree more, people don’t know but he is called the “Magnet” in NFL circles, cuz if watch any game tape and all you see is defenses focusing on him. he gets more attention than any player in the league. thats why his rushing numbers are down, but by the end of his career, he will be one of the greatest to ever play. I guarantee it.
NFL players have alot of pride, so when they saw how much hype he was getting out of college, every defensive player keyed in on him saying he aint gonna do that to me or us, so thats why he hasn’t blown up, but he will soon.
