Who you got? Both had decent careers but neither lived up to the hype.

Reggie Bush has 9,088 yards from scrimmage, 54 touchdowns, and 2 1,000 yard rushing seasons (and one 984 yarder)

McFadden has 7,490 yards from scrimmage, 33 TDs, and 2 1,000 yard seasons.

They're somewhat close, and McFadden still might have a little left in the tank.

Bush

I was hoping DMC would have a pretty solid season last year behind the Dallas OL.

Also how do you factor in the teams they played on?

That's a weird stat to compare in this thread but Bush played 133. Mcfadden played 101

It's really not even close, bush has 1500 more yards from scrimmage (although I think he has been a pro for an extra season) but bush more than 50% more td's.

There may have been a season or 2 in which McFadden was considered elite and one of the best backs in the game, which you really can't say about reggie, but overall bush has had a better career.

The rushing stats are very close. Receiving you could argue has a lot more to do with the system. The Saints loved throwing screens and swing passes to their RBs.

McFadden has been serviceable for longer. Bush did good here then not much.

huh? Bush had 0 1000 yard rushing seasons in New Orleans

He had 1086 and 986 in Miami

He had 1006 his first year in Detroit.

In fact, of his 4 best yards from scrimmage years, 3 were not in New Orleans.
