Reggie Bush only has value to a team without a 1000 yard back. How important is the upgrade from a guy who gets 1000-1200 yards a season and a guy who gets 1400-1600 yards a season when other parts of your team have major holes.
That is why Houston took Williams. (A team like the Jets or Tenn would benefit from Bush) This is not the NCAA or the Pac-10. Bush is not going to be able to run around like he did in college. First off you can scrap him as a returner. Nobody will invest that kind of money and chance getting him hurt. He didn't play every down at USC. You need look no further than the Bills to see what a player who does not play every down (McGahee) is actually worth (tell me that McGahee is more valuable to the Bills than Thurman Thomas ever was). Bush is going to be a great running back but that doesn't mean the increased yardage is enough. TDs cannot be predicted. A back can run for 1500 yards and not generate a lot of TDs. IMO, Williams and Brick will have a great impact on their new teams than Bush does if Bush goes to a team who had a 1000 yards rusher. Even Huff and Hawk can do more for a team than Bush. Tell me the Bills would not be better by drafting Huff to replace Wire than if they drafted Bush to replace McGahee. I said it before, Bush won't fall far but he could end up as low as Green Bay (and who knows...maybe lower, SF?).
