simply put... no. for example, adrian peterson(pre favre), steven jackson and chris johnson(to name a few) had no problems putting up ridiculous numbers with no other threats on their offenses. you telling me that teams didnt gameplan to stop these guys?:jpshakehead: bush has a hall of fame qb thats getting alot of the attention, none of these guys had that yet week in and week out they did their thing.

Truth. I am not a Reggie hater, but it's ridiculous to think that his lack of production is because other teams game plan for him. That doesn't seem to stop elite players on other teams. It's not like this offense is lacking weapons, so that excuse is terrible.

Bush's problems are the same he's always had since entering the league:

- Durability
- Ball security
- Vision (he's improved on this)
- Balance (watch the difference between Pierre and Reggie. Pierre gets bumped and keeps his balance. Reggie is always tripped up by shoestring tackles. He has terrible balance.)
- Thin legs - He's strong as hell but he just doesn't have the body type to be a truly effective NFL runner. He's too tall and lean. I can't think of another 6 foot RB with his build.

I thought the light went on for Reggie at the end of our Super Bowl season. But what good is that if he's always hurt?

I find it ironic that Harper gets killed for the Seattle game, but Bush drops a sure touchdown in the first quarter that's never mentioned.

I hope we keep him, but he's definitely not the difference between winning a championship or not.
