Right now he has 10 carries for -2 yds.....Can you officially call him a bust? Not b/c he's a bad player but b/c everyone hyped him up SOOO much and he hasnt delivered at all........
There were 14 rookie RB's drafted, and then 8 undrafted FA RB's signed...out of those 22 RB's Bush is barely in the top 10 right at 9th as far as production goes (at his position).
1.) Lawrence Maroney
2.) Joseph Addai
3.) Wali Lundy
4.) Maurice Jones - Drew
5.) DeAngelo Williams
6.) Jerious Norwood
7.) Mike Bell
8.) Leon Washington
9.) Reggie Bush.........
Bush is under 3 yards per carry on the season and he has been given PLENTY of chances (2nd or 3rd most for any of these rook RB's).
You dont develop as a RB like you would as a defensive player or QB, you are pretty much who you are...you can improve but not drastically...to me he is a bust, although I never believed he was gonna be that great I thought he'd be a little better than this.
A MUCH better WR though...

Bush finished w/ 11 carries for -5 yds...for the season he has 81 carries for 207 yds (2.55 ypc) thats horrendous...oh and 0 offensive TD's.

Rickster, good point...BUT the offensive line is very very good for the NO Saints...one of the best. How do I know this you ask? Bush has 81 carries for 207 yds...in just 15 more carries JUST 15, Deuce McAllister has 248 more yards. McAllister is avg. 4.7 ypc to Bush's 2.55.....NOT the offensive line by any means. No excuses for Bush, he is flat out sucking. Another reason...the NO Saints have given up just 8 sacks, the 2nd least in the NFL.
