As far as receiving...I guess I'd say they're about even from what I've seen so far. Bush had longer strides & created more separation given time, but I think Kamara runs better routes due to his shorter strides. Kamara barely has any wasted motion...even when compared to a WR. Not really sure who has the better hands...both are close to elite for a RB(if not elite).

Kamara plays faster than his 40 time, but Bush was the faster player...especially when he reached his top speed. Bush was elite in this area.

Kamara runs with much more power & is easily a better RB(he can run inside the tackles, & can find his way through a small opening. Bush needed a bigger hole, & was brought down by arm tackles). Kamara's vision as a RB easily trumps Bush's as well.

Bush was better in the open field, but Kamara is easily the better player when he has multiple defenders around him.

I guess it just depends on what kind of player you want, but as a rookie...I'd easily give the edge to Kamara(not saying Kamara will 100% be a better player at the end of their careers, but I'd say it's likely that he will be). He doesn't have the top end speed & elite athleticism that Bush had, but he's the better overall football player imo(his physicality blows Bush out of the water). Kamara doesn't have any weaknesses(he's above average at everything), but Bush did...I guess that's what separates the 2 imo. It's harder to completely contain Kamara. He can exploit a defense in more ways than Bush could.
