Also, who was more disappointing - Ricky Williams or Reggie Bush?
One of these was an incredible skill player instrumental in winning the playoffs that lead to the Superbowl and the other was a minor disappointment, but that was mostly due to his and Ditka's stupid antics and his perceived injury problems and lack of caring on the field. To quote the replacements: Ricky Williams isnt even a has-been. He's a never-was. But he was a solid back when he put forth the effort.
The people who hate on Reggie Bush are the same people i assume never watched football before 2006 and don't understand the competitiveness of the NFL.
Reggie was lightening fast. I remember watching his punt and kick returns, when he got into open field he make everyone else look like they were standing still.
And I was at that game in Pitt sitting in the corner of the endzone when he leapt into the endzone from 6 yards out. It was awesome. I'll always defend Reggie from a dipshit fanbase.

The never was isn't even accurate. Ricky averaged over 4 yards a carry for his career. He had 5 years over 1,000 rushing yards including his first year in Miami when he had over 1,800 yards.

This is so dumb. Ricky Williams was a top 10 RB of his era. He has 12,600 yards from scrimmage and 74 TDs in his 11 years in the NFL, despite missing 2 entire years during his physical prime. Reggie at his best was not as good as Ricky at his best.
Both of these guys arguably had their best seasons away from the Saints though. Reggie was certainly more valuable to the Saints organization, who knows if we get the Super Bowl win without him.
Ricky was one of the worst moves in Saints draft history, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a very good player. Unless you get a franchise HOF caliber QB, nobody could live up to the cost we spent on Ricky. That was an idiotic move by Dika, Ricky was just the guy he moved for.
Ricky played 3 seasons for the Saints, had 1000+ scrimmage yards in every one of those seasons. Reggie played 5 seasons for the Saints and had 1 1000 yard from scrimmage season, mainly due to injury.
Ricky was great for the Dolphins, and we did get 2 first round picks back when we traded him. One of those picks was Charles Grant. THe other was used to move up to take the worst guy we ever drafted, Jonathan Sullivan.
