To me Reggie Bush.......guy is a below average runner, decent reciever, and good kick returner.......gets hyped up as being a top 10 RB.....i even had 2 people tell me he was better than Larry Johnson....that sealed it for me.....

more like most hated on player lol its funny cuz before I opened the thread, I thought in my head that this would probably be about Bush....Say hello to Michael Vick no. 2....A unique player who gets crowned the greatest before he achieves it, but also gets hated on by many because he isnt the prototype...A player who gets hated on so hard by all the haters who dont like the hype he gets that instead of being overrated b/c of fan support, he is actually extremely underrated because of masses of haters who give him no credit.

were talking about a dude who has dominated his previous levels of competition, won the heismann, national championship, done it all....and were also talking about a guy who has all the talent in the world that came into the NFL last year and had a strong rookie year.

So yes, naturally, people are hyping him. Of course people are expecting him to break out and become a superstar. And why shouldnt we expect that? Hes got the talent, hes got the work ethic, he looked real good last year, showed that his versatility and explosiveness most certainly does translate to the NFL, and he has dominated previous levels of competition so people are expecting him to do the same.

And as far as what youre saying about him.....He is much more than a decent receiver, besides Marshall Faulk, I dont know what HB weve ever seen with better receiving skills than him, and when all is said and done, I expect Reggie will be known as the best receiving back ever. He woulda been a first rounder easily had he come out as a WR....And you can say whatever you want about him not being a great runner b/c he cant pound it in between the tackles, but to me thats nonsense. Smaller, less physical runners, have figured out how to be full-time starters and be effective at all the runs, just take someone like Warrick Dunn for example, sure he seems like a scatback but he could run in between the tackles and gets yards, it just takes some learning and Reggie has been working on that....And bottom line is that Reggie is one of the most explosive playmakers in this league, if not THE most explosive playmaker...Yes, hes gonna get a lot of hype and maybe get crowned as the next great player before hes earned it, but if you think about Reggie and everything hes accomplished and what he brings to the table, you have to expect that people are gonna jump to those kind of conclusions...

And then on the other side weve got the haters....Just mad cuz Reggie is getting hype cuz hes nice on the football field and mad that everyone else loves him....here you are hating on him, calling him overrated and trying to tear down his game. I say **** all that, give Reggie his due, maybe he gets overhyped because he is possibly the most exciting athlete in sports, does that mean you should hate on him? Its not like Reggie himself saying hes better than Larry Johnson....Obviously hes gotta prove himself before we can really say that he is the best out there, but how can you even think for a second that people arent gonna hype an electrifying player like Reggie up to be the next great player before he has the numbers to show it.

***VINCE YOUNG**** he gets all this credit for what. take last week for example you never heard 1 negative thing said about him having the lowest passer rating in the nfl only throwing for 77yrds and he only rushed for 22. he couldn't even total 100yrds.

Adrian Peterson is going to show what reggie should have done with all that hype this year just watch my boy run for 1300yrds and 10-15td's

OdeSSeyy · 09-12-2007, 01:07 PM

ummm so i guess every young talented player is overrated then? Young talented players, especially ones like Bush who are once in a lifetime talents, they get a lot of hype. People are gonna expect big things from them and be excited to watch them....Its up to them to live up to the hype. If they dont, that hype will go away....Guys like Ryan Leaf or Charles Rogers, sure they got tons of hype when they came into the league but they were busts and sure enough when they failed to prove themselves the hype goes away and theyre out of the league. People arent saying hes an elite running back right now just , theyre saying they EXPECT him to soon become an elite NFL running back. That aint overrated, thats called a young player with loads of talent who people have high expectations for. And dont even try to argue Reggies talent...

Overrated would be more like someone who puts up big numbers and everyone thinks theyre a great player, but really they are just products of a system or something....Guys like Trent Green and Shaun Alexander come to mind as overrated....Im not sure how you can call a rookie who people are expecting to deliver on his massive talent and potential overrated.

Well I cant really say if reggie bush is overrated or not....yea he does get alot of attention but thats only cus he with New Orleans & alot of ppl believe he brought excitment to that team but IMO we really cant say hes overrated until he gets that full time job as a HB

Terror 9999 · 09-12-2007, 06:25 PM

oh & who I think is overrated is Tony Romo.....didn't do enough to be a probowler to me
