No that's the dumbest reply I've ever read. Bush may be stronger....need to look up some combine numbers. Faster? Please. Elusive? So is Peter Warrick. Look what happened to him. Bush will be a good back but don't expect 1300 yard seasons from him on a consistent basis.

You lose all credibility when you say that Reggie Bush is not faster than Warrick Dunn.

Even guys who HAVE proven themselves in the NFL sometimes fall apart early in their careers. Make up your own LaDainain Tomlinson/Michael Vick reference and put it here. If Reggie turns out to be the next sweetness, of course this will be viewed as a mistake on the Texans part. But how many college players turn out to be the next Mike Rozier? They paid their money and they made their choice, and the truth is it's all a crap shoot.

I don't recall Mike Rozier being as hyped as Bush. Rozier none the less was an outstanding player

Rozier also went to the USFL first before he signed with the Oilers...

anyway, 12 games in. his stats are 16 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble. all games are played. his AWR is now at 39.

Okay, maybe Rozier he wasn't as hyped as Reggie (I was 5 or 6 at the time, so my memories are vague...) But he WAS touted as the next dominant running back, and I'm not sure he ever had a 1000 yard season. He just sprang to mind because I loved watching the Oilers with their run and shoot offense. If they had a good RB, they'd have been in the superbowl. 35-3, it still stings! Ki-Jana Carter works just as well as an example.

So it's still a crapshoot. Everybody in the NFL missed out on Clinton Portis, he went in round 2. Joe Montana went in round 3. Terrell Davis went in the SIXTH round. Antonio Gates and Rod Smith weren't even drafted. (Gates didn't even PLAY football in college...) Maybe in 5 years we'll all be saying "If I were the Texans, I wouldn't have missed out on Reggie." Or maybe we'll be saying "How could everybody have missed out on Jerome Harrison?!" (just some random RB I looked up who went in round 5) We won't be saying anything about super mario because he's a DE and DE's get no love.

Okay now I'll pretend to be on-topic. I think Madden uses awareness as a way of controlling how much a player will improve. It seems like a player with low phsyical stats and high awareness probably won't improve significantly over the years, but a player with low awareness and great physical stats will. 37 though, that is a bit extreme....

Did you watch yesterday's game w/ the Eagles? The impact he had on yesterday's game was negative for sure.

OMG is that bad Karma or what, you pass on Bush and lose Dom. Davis for the year. Decisions like that keep me from being a Texans fan
