Well since you're an idiot, it shouldn't be difficult.

Percy Harvin's stats his rookie year
60 receptions for 790 yards and 6 TDs
15 rushes for 135 yards
2 kickoff returns for touch downs

That's VERY impressive for a rookie receiver on a team that has 2 other pretty good veteran WRs in Rice and Berrian and that features their running game.

Now, Bush had an impressive rookie year catching the ball out of the backfield but beyond that he was mediocre. He averaged 3.6 yards per rush. The only reason he accumulated more yards that year is because of the position he played and the amount of touches he had.

The only thing Bush has done consistantly the past 3 years is underachieve. I was really shocked at how he played yesterday, but if he would do that every game I would gladly put him first.

His game yesterday was by a long shot the best of his career. It's the first time he's looked like a guy that can be effective running the ball out of the backfield with any consistency.

If I was GM of the Saints, I would take Reggie b/c I would have Colston, Henderson, Meachem, and Moore already on roster.

If I was GM of a team like the Ravens, I would take Harvin for the most obvious reasons.

I say Reggie and Percy are a push.

reggie had 88 catches for 742 yards as a rook, with another 500 rushing...

Injuries have held Reggie back, although he wasnt really having a good year his 2nd season b4 his 1st big injury.... kid had microfracture surgery and is just now gettin full speed again, he looks fast again...

Now if he can just stay healthy...

No doubt,m Harvin is a beast and I think their roles are very similar... I expect harvin to start getting some carries anyway, maybe from the wildcat or as a 3rd down back, the Vikes know he's a weapon that must b on the feild, I think he had a carry today...

If you don't think that Bush on the field accounts for an extra defensive coverage player then you be silly. I am bias, Reggie in my humble opinion is a weapon. Win or lose, day one opinion.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I don't think I ever claimed that no one covers Reggie when he is on the field.

Or are you trying to insinuate that he draws double coverage every time he lines up?

He was classified as a WR. Saying Percy isn't a WR in college is like saying Reggie isn't a RB in college. Reggie played a role in the receiving game just like how Percy played a role in the running game.

Jesus Christ! Do you think da bears run the same scheme as the #1 offense in leauge? Did you see the cut/standstill to full speed run for the TD Reggie did? You need to chill broseph. Easy friend, easy.

Except Reggie was in a pro style offense at USC and Percy played in Floridas spread. Nobody thought Percy would contribute much this year because he had no knowledge of NFL route running

Wow. You will come up with anything no matter how idiotic to try and support your view.

One of the dumbest things ever written here.
