Comments on: Lions looking like more likely landing spot for Bush http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/12/lions-looking-like-more-likely-landing-spot-for-bush/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 15:43:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mssaulin http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/12/lions-looking-like-more-likely-landing-spot-for-bush/#comment-2385607 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 19:04:53 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1815252#comment-2385607 Reggie Bush does not need to be here at all. Joique Bell was 3rd in recieving among running backs, and one of only 5 running backs to average over 5 yards a rush with a minimum of 75 carries. That’s in the same class as A. Peterson, J. Charles, C.J. Spiller, and Marshawn Lynch. Lions have too many holes to be this stupid.

Getting Reggie Bush would be cool in a perfect world but we need to save money and he just wants to much. I’m gonna get crucified for the but wait until later rounds and draft denard robinson and develop him

“I find that hard to believe…unless…

winning is more important to Reggie Bush than weather/being closer to home.

Add Bush to Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford and one of the top offenses in the NFL should be even better in 2013.”

How is winning more important in Detroit? Arizona actually won one more game than Detroit last year, and is 65-95 over the past ten seasons compared to Detroit’s 48-112. With Bruce Arians in charge now they should be an improved team in 2013…That said, AZ needs to draft a franchise QB next month if they hope to improve on their 31st. ranked scoring offense in 2012.

As for the Lions, their offense was only ranked high in yards, not points, where they finished 17th. (Better than AZ, to be sure.)

Bottom line, the choice is about the same, and Bush will be a tremendous addition to either offense.

Is this accords to any sources or anything? Or simply slapping the PFT opinion on a headline and calling it a new story. There is literally no piece of information in here that hasn’t been mentioned dozens of times in the last few weeks.

Name the last free agent that came to the Motor City and performed at an All-Pro Level for more than one year.

Lions + Free Agents = Waste of Money.

He makes a case for why the Cardinals make sense but says it’s looking more and more like the Lions? Is this a hunch? A story?

He was a pro’s pro with the Dolphins. A hard worker and a home-run threat every time he touched the ball, there is no way Jeff Ireland is capable of finding a back to equal or exceed his production.

This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship where superbowls appear to be in your future.

Notice I said superbowls as in more than one. A guy can dream can’t he?

He’s not that bad. I bet that he would still be their starting back, delegating Reggie to their 3rd down back. Of course he’s more likely to get the starting nod down in AZ. Ryan Williams is “the guy” down there now, and has not been able to stay on the field in his first 2 years.

The Lions should trade for a very affordable LeGarrette Blount in Tampa Bay. They would have their 1,500 yard a season running back for the price of probably a 5th rounder. A steal!

Add Bush to Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford and one of the top offenses in the NFL should be even better in 2013.

On the other hand, I’d have to think the Cardinals are in a better salary cap situation to offer more $$.

I suppose we will probably know the answer by sometime tonight or Wednesday.

But I assume he is out of their price range, being a free agent and all.
