Are the Texans crazy for not taking Reggie Bush?

Yes. They are complete idiots. Reggie Bush is a game changer. Dont tell me they already have a RB, because Bush can be a RB, KR, PR, and WR. And Bush would have also solved some of the Offensive Linemen problems, because his running would take pressure off of them. Its also bad because Mario Williams isnt a great player. This guy takes many plays off during the game, to be the #1 pick, you need to be a gamechanger. Williams isnt a game changer, Bush is.

I don't think so.. In the NFL it takes a lot longer for a Defensive player to make a huge impact look at some of the greats D. Brooks, R. Lewis, and B. Urlacher..they were all decent their first year but really exploded in their second season and every year after that ...I think he'll be ok..as far as Bush goes he is doing very well in N.O. considering how they are using him..If he was in Texas it would be a different story no shared carries or playing time might have led to huge numbers..Hope this helped..

yea i'm from memphis and i totally agree with that question. the only reason ppl dont talk about him is because he played for memphis which is not a powerhhouse football team and also we have a terrible offensive line. for example if Deangelo played for USC which has the best or one of the best offensive lines in the country he would've won the heisman no questions asked. i mean look at most of reggie bush's plays,most of them came from the help of his offensive line creating holes and other things for him, sure he is a great player and probaly better than Deangelo Williams but if he played for Memphis nobody would talk about him.

They already have a quarterback and vince is not ready to play yet.  Reggie Bush is ready to play now.  If you are a Texan fan how much longer do you want them to be bottom feeders?

Reggie Bush is a Marshall Faulk like player without as much TD scoring ability (which is a very high compliment). He will not be a 30 carry a game back, but will be able to break a game open from anywhere on the field. He will be very dangerous from the slot as well as out of the backfield, and even returning punts.\n\nLenDale White has the upside to be another Emmitt Smith (the man is a TD machine, who can really move the chains). He should not make sportcenter as much as Bush, but may turn out to be the more valuable pro as someone who can carry the mail 30+ times a game.

this draft was full of great picks, bad picks, and surprise picks and players getting drafted high and players falling. \nNow i feel we are all in agreement when i say the Texans don't want to win football games, because they passed on Reggie bush. how can you say no to that. so damn stupid, and the whitner pick for bills was high, but if the bills took bunkley or ngata those two players where not good enough to go 8 eighter, and the lions said if the bills didn't take him they would of taken whitner so the bills did good there, and about mccargo Marv Levy saw someone he liked and got him, yes they could of waited, but who knows what could of happened and both of those players will start next year so those are both good picks. \n\ni say the surprise picks of the draft was tambi Hali for the chiefs and the Mathias kiwanuka for the giants, Hali isn't that bad seeing Jared Allen is the best dlinemen for the chiefs, and you can never have enough depth, but the giants had so many other holes, OT,OG,WR,DL,LB,DB de is the last thing they needed with osi, and stranhan i know mike is getting old, but they just needed so much more then Mathias kiwanuka they had justice,ryans,Howard,Jackson,countless numbers of DB i just think they messed up bad there.

I think it will be R. Bush. Vince Young is more of a run first , then pass type of QB and it is not best for a team in the NFL. Kind of like Michael Vick. Vick himself is alright, but too overrated. But, his team is not good at all. So the houston texans should get Bush although I really like the hometown player, Vince Young.

Reggie Bush will make an impact even if it is just on kick returns and such he is just a player that cant not make an impact. then if either Leinart or Young play you have to expect one of them to be successful. Mario Williams was a waste of a first pick.

NO WAY!\n\nHouston was stupid for not taking Bush, even if they didn't want him.\n\nThey could of taken Bush, and traded him for Mario Williams for less money and some players or draft picks.

That is a good notion but for a team that is ready for the playoffs like the broncos or dolphins. The Texans are years from a playoff game(and playoff money) so they are rebuilting and a high price DT or OT from a playoff team with money isnt gonna help the rebuilting process. Plus a QB takes at least a year to forget the college system and Take in the new system unless your(kyle orton) i think if RB Davis had been 2 years older(5thyear) the choice would had been clearer.(B~U~S~H)..but i guess it was smokey...lol Also so vince taking 2 years to get ready would have cause a riot in Texas!Carrs life would have been in danger! But Here's my thing if your gonna stay with Carr, protect him!! and help the running back out in two ways...less men in the box cuz of a pass game and better run blocking up front They got 2 good vets and the rest are weak or draft picks......trust me they'll take a RB or M.Bush or a WR next year and they still be i the 1-5  draft slot..they got lucky in the third and some good OTs...ok i get it now!!!! Losing is there plan.. I mean that just has to be it cause anything else just seems silly!!!\n\nthey signed three vets\nSalaam, Ephraim T 6'07'' 295 06/19/1976 9 San Diego State \nFlanagan, Mike C 6'05'' 301 11/10/1973 9 UCLA \nWiegert, Zach G 6'05'' 309 08/16/1972 12 Nebraska \nand the all might been hurt at the end of the season!!!

Vince Young.  Bush could be.  Vick's stock has dropped so far that I am not sure a team would take the risk to draft him.

Yes Reggie Bush is a great player and will be a top running back very soon, but they already got their running back with Davis.  Yes Davis isn't as good as Bush but whats the point of drafting and having two good running backs.  They need help on the Defense and Offense line, that's why they went with Williams, he will help them out alot.  If they would have went with Bush they would have had to pay alot more money for Bush with the number one pick than with Williams at number one, so that could be another reason.  I don't really agree with what they did, but they would have had to try and trade Bush or Davis away, which would have been hard to do

Yes they will.  Bush could have been used in many different ways.  Not just a RB but on special teams and even in the slot.  He's too dynamic a player to pass up on.  I understand they THINK they have a good RB in DomDavis but he's always getting hurt and you never pass up the best player on the board, ever.  They should at least have traded down because no way in hell the Saints would have picked up Williams.

I still can't believe they passed on Reggie Bush. I think that   Mario Williams may be just as good of a player but he has some big shoes to fill. The Texans attendance has gotten progressively worse since their first year and they need to sell tickets.  The fans were screaming for Vince Young but over a few months they warmed alittle to the idea of Bush only to not get either.  The QB and RB position have so many more measurable also it makes it very hard for a DE to keep up in popularity.  A QB has passer rating, yards, TD and YDs to be judged by and a RB has rushing yds, catches, tds and YDS/rush. All a DE has is sacks to be measured by.  Even if Mario Williams turns out to be the best DE of his era.  In order to be justified to Texans fans he also has to be better than Bush and Young which is unlikely.

The Texans are on the verge of being respectable.  One of their problems is that they play in a tough division.  They have to play Indy twice every season.  And depending on how the other teams are doing they also have to contend with Jacksonville and the Titans.\n\nI don't think David Carr is their answer.  Everyone thinks he just needs a good line and then he will blossom.  Well I have a feeling after this season we will see him leaving Houston.  He has been banged up so much that I think he is constantly thinking about the sack.  This will prevent him from being successful.\n\nReggie Bush will not be the answer either.  Houston already has a respectable RB.\n\nThe current rumor (which is probably false) is that Houston is seriously considering trading down.  They don't want to have to take Bush.  The problem is finding a partner. \n\nThe Saints won't trade up.  In fact they are looking to trade down.  The Titans and Jets are probably comfortable where they are. \n\nThe Packers could use Bush, but they are sitting pretty at number 5.  They will find a quality player to fit their many needs at this spot.\n\nSF or Oakland might be interesting positions.  Both of them could use Bush and that is not too far for Houston to fall and still pick up quality.\n\nWhat's going to happen? No one knows for sure, but I think Houston is hoping to come in 2nd in their division and maybe a chance at a Wildcard spot.

Yes Reggie bush is overrated. No doubt he is a very talented athlete. But he was surrounded by an outstanding supporting cast. From His QB, O-line, DEFENSE, and not to mention his partner in the backfield. He is talented but any back of the same caliber would have the same success as Mr Bush.
