USC Greatness in the NFL

[johngateswhiteley]

1. Bush - punt return for TD to win game
2. Leinart - solid through half orchestrating a nice 20-10 lead over KC

[Slinkyman]

No love for Carson Palmer or Troy Polamalu?

or are you just looking at today?

i love everybody, lol. i am just talking about the rookies today as there are some who think Leinart and Bush are/will be busts...and thats OUTRAGEOUS. Lendale White was not half bad either with 8 rushes and 48 yards.

[johngateswhiteley]

greatness.

"Reggie Bush doesn't care about Buc people."

[BeerIsGood!]

Matt Castle is the MAN. Future Hall Of Famer.

[johngateswhiteley]

greatness.

[LB7]

Wow, Bush finally scores a TD and that makes him an absolute non-bust. Again, can we wait a few years before we declare HOFer or bust please.

[Spurminator]

Mario Williams could have scored on that coverage. :lol j/k

no, we can't. he leads the NFL in receptions and is averaging 84 ypg. plus, NFL defenses are keying on him like crazy...just watch the games.

...he's the best RB of all time.

Let's not get too carried away. I agree with johngateswhitely nearly every time, so I'm going to assume you are purposely exagerating on this one.

He is good though, a much better pick then Mario Williams, that's for damn sure.

[LB7]

He has done fairly well. However, he has yet to reach the 100 yd mark rushing or receiving in a game or score an offensive touchdown (not special teams). Give the guy his due, he has great potential and athletic ability, but greatest running back of all-time? Lol, even if you are exaggerating, its still way way out there. He is not even one of the best in the league. 3.1 ypc...c'mon. He needs to stick to receiver and even there, he is just good, not great.

So, JGW, when are they gonna switch Reggie Bush to receiver?

Which is still more then can be said for Vince Young.

Seriously, anyone that has watched the Saints play can see what an impact Bush has been. He's drawing so much attention from defensive game plans that it's opening up the rest of the field for everyone else. He's still managing to put up above average numbers while dealing with double coverage on 80% of the plays he's in. I'm not a USC fan, nor do I care if Bush succeeds but he's an impact guy, there is no denying it.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

ya'll are fuckin stupidasses and are posting as if Reggie Bush is the first and only player in the NFL to get double teamed thereby permitting easier defense on the rest of his teammates....wow, you guys should work for espn

[leemajors]

lol, he's the best RB of all time....>>> ;)

he's not even a top 2 USC RB. still way behind marcus allen and OJ.

[T-Pain]

dont forget Lofa Tatupu and Tatusi "Deuce" Lutui

[LB7]

Reggie Bush can't run consistently up the middle. DeMarcus Ware ran him down as he was trying to get to the outside as have many NFL defenders. He will not be one of the top RBs in the league trying to do the same things he did in college. Won't work in the NFL. Again, JGW, when are they switching him to receiver?

Ok, what's your point? We are discussing why he's an impact player, and that's why. Oh, and starting a sentence with ya'll and then calling someone a stupidass seems a bit ironic to me.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

It's called a dialect, and if you're from a gay ass state like Colorado, then you aren't expected to get it. And yall are stupid asses. No shit he is an impact player but the way you speak of him getting double teamed looks so pretentious, he's just a fuckin speed burst, I echo LB7: when are they switching him to receiver? He gets more action on catches than carries.

...thats fine, but you're wrong. Bush is the man...and was selected on ESPN as the impact player of the week.

...as for Colorado, you're an idiot, that state fucking rocks. and as much as i love Texas and it will always be home, Colorado kicks the shit out of it. apparently you don't like:

1. Mountains
2. Four Seasons
3. Hot girls
4. Guns
5. Hunting
6. absence of laws
7. elevation

...even though Texas has #s 3,4,&5.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

okay so colorado rules, but bush is still not the best rb in the game if he doesn't even run it well

colorado is great, but the lack of ethnic diversity in some of the cities, namely denver, is kinda disturbing. does colorado have no state income tax like texas?

[scott]

Bush is already an awesome player, but I don't think he'll ever be a top RB. He is special for his ability to play the "flex" position, and that is where Sean Payton is wisely using him. Trying to make him into a 20 carry per game RB or a full time WR would be a huge mistake. For that reason, he'll never put up the Gonzo RB or WR stats, but he'll likely be one of the leagues premier impact players for a long time.

...while i don't totally disagree with anything here, i think saying Bush will never be a top back is a bit early. there is only one reason he does not get more carries, and thats cause Deuce is back strong this year. and though i agree Bush is very good at being a flex player i think he'll get more carries later in his career. probably a 15-17 carry 8 reception guy in the future.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

What about the great Mike Williams? Shaun Cody?

They suck. Badly.

[johngateswhiteley]

nope, they have state income tax..."Currently there are no state income tax brackets for Colorado. Instead, CO state tax will be 4.6% of federal income tax liability."

...and while ethnic diversity is great and beneficial, its also overrated. people are people...and colorado has great people. plus, i doubt the population of Denver is turning away certain ethnicities.

i have heard from various people who live in colorado that there are basically no black people in denver. my friend, a former marine officer who lives in fort collins and has all his life said how weird the city is. everyone is white. draw what conclusions you may.

...yeah, and i am saying wgaf. i have spent many a day in Denver and Boulder...good people are good people.

hey i got an idea, why don't we make all the african americans, chinese, mexican, etc. people move to Colorado? or we could just let whoever wants to live there...live there, hows that for an idea?

i understand your point...i just don't think it matters and i could care less.

Part of that problem is that they play on the Lions.

Colorado does indeed have a state income tax, however, their property taxes are signifigantly lower then Texas. I like both states to tell you the truth, but Colorado will always be home to me so I have to pick it rather then Texas as my favorite.......but I got nothing against any state, they all have positive and negative qualities in each.

As for the lack of ethnic diversity.........eh? I was fine with it, but then again, I'm white.

[johnsmith]

Oh yeah, one more reason Colorado kicks ass, and I know you won't argue with me on this one.....DENVER. This city is within one hour of 6 colleges containing over 20,000 students as well as four other major schools containing somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 - 20,000. Big deal you say, it is a big deal when you consider that Colorado is also ranked the "most fit" or "skinniest" state in the union......putting it toghether yet? If not, I'll explain, that means that you are looking and literally thousands of skinny, attractive co-eds, all of which converge on downtown Denver on a weekly basis.
Don't get me wrong, I've spent some time in Austin and been extremely impressed, but nothing matches downtown Denver on any given Friday or Saturday night.

[ducks]

well usc is better duke basketball players suck in the nba

...i know what you mean. them girls look good, and while i think Austin has their share of hot girls, as far as weight goes...colorado will always win. girls in Texas are either thin or fat...there is no in between, and there are waaaay to many fat people in Texas.

[johnsmith]

Just let it be known, Reggie Bush is on pace to hit around 1800 total yards on the season................that's an impact rookie.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

bump

you're lucky palmer got his shit back together or this season would be more evidence of your team's total total douchiness in the nfl

brian cushing, rofl rofl

[Blake]

great game by Sanchez. He made the Saints look unbeatable.

[IronMexican]

jgw would have pissed me off back then. He's seemed to have toned it down.



Really, CBF? Really? I mean, you act like UT has a shit load of pro bowlers right now. Cedric Griffin is a beast and Huff is finally getting his shit together. VY might finally get to start again, so we will see on that. Orakpo isn't lighting it up, but the Redskins have him out of position.

no one said anything about UT having a ton of probowlers (but they have plenty of solid players through the league). it was jgw that he was making fun of. you havent been around long enough to know how much of a USC knobslobber jgw is.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Wow this thread is retarded? YUP!!! Leinart and Bush are lighting the NFL up!!!

Said it before I will say it again.

Matt Leinart is a big, fat, stinky pussy.


Let's revise the talent/bust ratio out of those 2005 longhorn and trojan teams again.

But but but but
USC was still the better team :lmao

[Whisky Dog]

Leinart. Jarrett. Lendale. Bush.


Fucking suck.

The only guy on that team that isn't a bust is the fake Steve Smith.

[Whisky Dog]

I remember jgw back then when I was on my other SN. That impaling he took in January of 2006 made him the most annoying fuck in this place. Now he's not so bad.
