Comments on: Report: Dolphins “highly unlikely” to re-sign Reggie Bush

All the hype he was blowing about he was going to be the best back with the most yards and all that crap. Why do you think N.O. got rid of him – he doesn’t produce. He might be fast but he can’t pick holes or find daylight to run with the ball. Look at his yards per carry – not too impressive and especially after he receives the ball – the dude is knocked down so easy. Saints didn’t want him – now the Dolphins don’t see anything to impressive about him – the dude is all talk and no on the field performance.

This news is expected. While Reggie did a good job in Miami, the facts are he plays runningback. Many teams feel as if runningbacks are a dime a dozen. Miami has holes to fill on their roster, which will probably mean prioritizing Sean Smith and franchising Jake Long. Yes, I believe Jake Long will get franchised. There is only but so much money to go around plus they still need to make a player for a receiver. Hopefully not Jennings.

“Wow, Reggie Bush failed to get 1,000 yards(which isn’t that hard for #1 RBs do to), and a lot of people on here are calling him great?”

Seems petty considering he had 986 yards. He had 1086 the first year here.

The guy avg 1300 yards and 8 td’s. How horrible…

Nobody is calling him great. Nobody can find ONE quote saying he wants to get paid either. The media is ginning this up.

Bush will be a phin next year.

“He is not very good at getting to the edge and while his strength is running between the tackles, he does not hit the whole very hard.”

Clearly just making a comment to comment, otherwise i dont even think you are a phin fan if you think this.

Bush has had over 2000 yards rushing in 2 seasons.

He averages 1300 yards and 8 td’s a season in miami

This so typical of Ireland. Bush is one good reason why Miami won a couple of games and I disagree with the statement that Bush was good with limited dose in the running game. Bush was very good running between the tackles. If your writers are going to make a point, then they should know what their talking about. Gaining 1000 yds rushing in a season isn’t as big a deal as once was, but Bush was a thousand yd rusher mostly between the tackles. So get your storys straight. If Ireland had some sense he would resign Bush, and cut Thomas. Bush was severely under used. 35 receptions out of the backfield is ridicules.

Sorry I seem to recall Ireland wanted play makers? I believe a guy that almost had back to back 1000 yrds rushing seasons was one of the only play makers we had on the team last year… and that’s saying something for a team that has no passing threat. When will miami learn?

Wherever Reggie Bush goes, he will be the featured back. He left NO because he got tired of being used part-time. Both Detroit and Green Bay are in need of starting RB’s.

—————————-

No, he didn’t leave New Orleans. They traded him away because he wasn’t worth his contract. They paid less for Sproles and he produced better his 1st year in New Orleans than Bush ever did. It’s called an upgrade.

I’m pretty sure Green Bay and Detroit won’t be paying $5 mil or more a year for him.

Reggie is a very serviceable RB and I do feel he was underutilized this past year however I also feel his production has diminished thus I believe his return is not worth the investment that is going to be required to keep him. I hope the Fins can keep him and if they do great, if they can’t then thanks Reggie for the service and good luck in the future. Go Fins!

Wow, Reggie Bush failed to get 1,000 yards(which isn’t that hard for #1 RBs do to), and a lot of people on here are calling him great? Either they’re mistaking him for someone else, or they don’t know the meaning of the word great.

He hasn’t had over 300 yards receiving since 2009, and last year was given over 45 receptions. Some people on here are acting like he’s very durable now, but both seasons he’s picked up nagging injuries. That’s with him not helping out in the return game because that would expose him to a higher chance of injury.
He doesn’t take a lot of short yardage carries(which should help out his yards per carry), but he only got 4.3 ypc this past season.

He had a stretch of 8 games in the middle of the season were he wasn’t able to muster 70 rushing yards in any of those games. In the last game of the season he was only 40 yards away from having a 1,000 yard season, and only got 26 rushing yards.

It seems like no matter how much he disappoints there’s always fanboys of his making tons of excuses and acting like all the NFL coaches he’s ever had are just too stupid to understand how to use him “correctly”.

I would be pretty depressed if my team brought him in and acted like he’s a good starting RB.

As far as play style and need I agree Patriots seem a good fit. However, Bush is not cheap – and the REAL reason Maimi is not going to resign has more to do with his cost/production calculation. Obviously they probably asked him what it would take to resign – and they said “hope you had a nice time in Miami, write soon”.

That will be an issue no matter who is interested, and people don’t realize how much CAP problems Patriots have. Brady makes nearly 1/2 of what Manning makes – why? Because the team needs the CAP space. Bush will need to lower his pay down to 1/4 of what he expects to sign with a team like the Patriots. WIN or MONEY…?

If the money isn’t right the see you later Reggie.

My guess is he moves on to a familiar scenario.

The Michigan papers have already announced the Lions will be seeking to improve the running back position this off season, With both Mayhew and Schwartz on the hot seat the team will gladly over pay Bush for his declining skillset.

Bush is coming to the Motor City.

Bring Bush and Welker to Philly. Trade Desean Jackson to big red in KC for their second round number one pic. Sign Dwayne Bowe draft Dee Millner out of Alabama number 4 then take the honey badger Tyrann Mathieu with the number one pic in the second round. you will be set for a decade at the cb position. let rodgers Cromartie and Asomough and Vick walk to free up cap space. Then draft Barret Jones with their own pic fourth in the second round. Try to woo Ed Reed or Dashon Goldson to come here at safety to mentor the young players. Switch can be made to the 3-4 by grabbing Cliff Avril from Detroit or perhaps Matt Shaughnessy from Oakland which would enhance the near bust Brandon Graham which I was screaming from the roof tops for earl Thomas who Philly so desperately needed with the departure of Brian Dawkins who in my opinion should be brought in to coach the secondary. But hey what do I know? I am not an attorney and not a cap guru. One thing I do know is how to evaluate talent. So Jefferey Lurie if you really want a stud draftsman and really want a road to the championship give me a call. Its been 53 years a disgrace for a top five city. I know I can do better.

I can alway count on some arrogant fan of the steelers to post an idiotic statement on this site. Today we have the statement in which the steelers only have legendary players, so Bush could not be considered. Yes, kordell Stewart, Neil o’donell, bubby brister, and tommy Maddox were legendarily awful QBs. And that’s just the QBs. I’ll await the next absurd post from a steelers fan to list the busts at RB. PS we all know that if not for the refs botching the Super Bowl against Seattle the steelers would have 5 rings and not six.

Yeah, lets get rid of Bush this year and have ZERO proven offensive weapons on the roster.

The fact that they (Ireland and Philben) traded Marshall for about nothing, without any free agent signing in the works say all you need to know about this team’ leadership or lack there of.

2013 will mark the end of Ireland and Philben, then onto the next two morons, since Ross is the ring leader of the circus.

Not easy being a Dolphin Fan these days!

I don’t know..but this ain’t the NFL of the 70s and 80s ..it’s no longer a one back league and if you have one good one you will now need a second decent one to play in this league…in my case..I’m a charger fan so ..we gotta get one good one first..but hey Reggie is more than welcomed to come home to San Diego..

I can’t believe I’m reading people complaining about trading away Vontae Davis. Did you see him play in Indy? I’m guessing at this point they’d rather have their pick back.
