Why do people always have to narrow it down to yards per carry. You know very well he is a great receiving threat. Stop trying to lump him in with pure runners.
Agreed!!!

Statistics are pretty important in judging a player's value.
And why are we so quick to discount perhaps the single most indicative measure of a RB, that is YPC, and yet completely allow TD's, despite the fact that Reggie does score the majority of his points within the red zone?
I love watching Reggie Bush play.
He is, at times, an electrifying playmaker.
He simply doesn't do it enough (although, in terms of our offense, he doesn't have to).
Go Saints!
Did you look at total # of 1st downs gained by reggie / number of carries?
Because YPC is an average of how many YARDS someone gets PER CARRY.
So "on average", if you give him 3 carries, he will get 10.5 yards, and a 1st. Not sure how youre saying this is incorrect? This is an AVERAGE, not a predictor of how many 1st downs he statistically has.
7.5 yards per reception is not a very good average.
You guys seem to be putting a lot of stock into his "dynamic playmaking", which I have agreed he shows flashes of, but if that's what his reputation is entirely built on, should we not expect larger gains, or at the very least an average YPC/YPR that measures up to the league average?
I'm not saying he sucks.
The fact that some of you believe that those who criticize these areas of his game believe he sucks are misinformed at best.
obviously bush does not gain 3.7 yards on every rush. therefore the premise of bush getting a 1st down every 3 carries is flawed, simply because it took him on avg 5.3 carries to gain a first down in 2008.
He had 3.8 last year..106 carries, 404 yards..how horrible..like 2 yards away from being 4.0.
maybe they like the videos of 4 yards up the gut..4 yards up the gut..10 yards up the gut.. 2 yard TD run up the gut..1 yard TD run up the gut. that gets me so hype..hah!
these videos never get old..keep em coming!
my favorite..

I guarantee you that this offense wouldn't even sniff # 1 status without Reggie and that is fact.
regardless of what he avg per rush, he doesnt avg a first down every 3 carries. he avg a first down every 5.3 carries. that is what you failed to understand.no one is saying he gets it on every rush. he AVERAGES it on every rush.
