If Bush leaves, I hope the Saints go after McCluster!

He should be available in the late 2nd. He is quick as a cat and would be a perfect fit for Bush's role. He is just as explosive, can take a lick, and would cost way less.

What I said in the last "Get McCluster" thread.

quote:

Bush and McCluster have identical measurables and speed. Bush TORE IT UP in college, while McCluster had his moments but was never the game-changer Bush was. Bush is nowhere near the effective back he was thought to be coming out of college and you want McCluster???? I give him 3 years on an active roster and 2 years on a practice squad before he gets "retires".

Forgive me, I didn't do a search.

Your arguement with Bush and McCluster would be better if both played in the SEC. Even the NFL network guys kept saying over and over how his performance was in the hard nose SEC conference and not a weaker conference.

The knock on Bush isn't him being effective, it is him bringing his A game every week. He only does that 1-2 times a year. McCluster is a hard worker and a player. Many teams will regret passing on him. He may only last 3-5 years, but that is worth a 2nd round pick.

Hadn't heard a word Kiper has said, but I have watched all 3 Senior Bowl practices and he has lit it up this week.

Wow you act like the SEC is a big difference from the Pac-10.

Bush out of college - 6'0 200 lbs

Mccluster- 5'8 165


He's 4 inches shorter and 35 lbs lighter, idc where he plays SEC/Big 12/Pac 10, dude's like a feather and will stay injured his whole career.


The SEC is good, but even if your point did make sense, which it doesn't he didn't even play the whole season because of his size, why wasted a 2nd rounder on some1 who can't even play a whole season?

We wasted the 2nd pick on Bush and how many complete seasons has he played. He has been hurt almost every year and only plays about 20-25 plays a game.

McCluster is Reggie Bush lite. McCluster will never be able to handle the beating the NFL will put on him. McCluster will be a KR/PR at best in his short NFL Career.

I hope Bush doesn't leave. If he does, I don't want to replace him with a smurf.

THAT is what Bush is....BUT, when he is on the field the defense has to account for him! He is a perfect fit for the Saints!

Sidenote: I am reading SWAY right now and they have a great discussion about value attribution. Basically, we shouldn't view Bush as the #2 draft pick. The draft is over and his value shouldn't be judged according to when he was picked 4 years ago.
