re: Sproles or Bush?

Did you see the post I responded to? It's more realistic to say it isn't close in Reggie's favor than Sproles.
Reggie proved capable of being an every down back in Miami. He's missed 1.5 games this season and is still on pace for over 2,100 yards from scrimmage. He's a legit threat both on the ground and in the passing game.

I just hate the "it's not that close" phrase. Sproles set the record for yards from scrimmage a couple seasons ago so it's obviously somewhat close

For the Saints offense, Sproles is the perfect back. He's how they wanted to utilize Bush, and while he had his moments, he just didn't fit in as well. Payton really knows how to use Sproles, and he relies on using the running back by committee.
Bush is a perfect fit for Detroit. He's on a team that is set in a spread offense, and they can constantly pick spots to use him in space.
I will always hope the best for Reggie, but I wouldn't trade Sproles for him in the offense. That really just has to do with the scheme. For overall talent, and for many other teams, you take Reggie. They are both dynamic players though.

That is at least an overstatement IMO. Yes, he got over teh 1000 yard rushing barrier once in the two years he was there but he never carried the ball as much as a traditional feature back (200 carries instead of 300)

which is a pretty high percentage when you've played four games

he puts up great yardage when completely healthy. there was a full retard thread after his first big yardage game with Miami last year or the year before... he just hasn't stayed healthy enough to play at that level
