Bush Annoucement Tomorrow Morning

I heard on XM Radio he really doesn't want to come to the Texans.

 

That would be awesome. The annoyance level of the next three months and 18 days would drop dramatically.

 

That will save everybody a headache. VY a Texan for 2006!!!

 

I hope he stays so it will make the Texans dicision much easier, but he would be a fool to go back to school. Just too many risks for a RB getting injured.

 

I think the Vince-mania is ridiculous but wanting Bush to stay in school is insane. He makes our pick much more valuable.

 

He's coming out. And if he doesn't, it doesn't really change all that much with Vince Young. The stumbling block to getting Vince Young isn't Reggie Bush. It's David Carr. If they like Carr, their opinion won't change if they don't get Reggie Bush. Whether we draft VY depends on whether they can get anything decent via trade for Carr, not whether Bush comes out. If he stays, the debate will shift from VY vs. Bush to VY vs. trading down and getting Ferguson.

But in the end, it's irrelevant... Bush doesn't have much of a reason to go back and hasn't given anyone much reason to think he is.

 

If he stays I"m worry the Texans mite still be too commited to Carr that they'll trade the #1 pick to move down

 

Who said that? Where did the source come from?

I hope he realized that he is going to a crappy team no matter what...that's what #1 draft picks go to. He's never going to go to a good team. But the Texans have more potential than the Saints, 49ers, and Jets (if you ask me),

 

That's funny, because if he stays, I HOPE the Texans trade down. Hell, I HOPE the Texans trade down even if he does come out.

 

While I defintley think he WILL come out, in several interviews he seemed irritated about the media saying it was a sure thing.

 

It's very different for a quarterback - they have a much longer lifespan in football than running backs do and take much fewer hits, meaning it's less of a risk for them to stay in school. Also, he wasn't the consensus #1 pick when he decided to stay in school... he was in the 4-8 range. There was a little bit of room for him to improve by staying in school... there's not for Reggie. Also, there were tons of rumors during the season about Reggie looking at agents and narrowing the playing field, so to speak... that wasn't the case with Leinart.

 

Wait...here's what you posted in a thread here yesterday:

"Vince Young is riding the hype to get drafted higher after 1 game he was label a 5-10 pick before the rose bowl. If he wasn't from Houston nobody here would think he's worth #1. Currently the whole country knows Bush is worth #1pick.

Vince Young is more like VinceIhadagoodgamedraftme"


So do you want the Texans to draft Young if Bush doesn't come out? You said above he's not worth the #1 pick. I'm not trying to pick on you...but I'm just trying to understand.

 

QBs and RBs are different. Leinart could blow out a knee and still get drafted high because running is not an important part of his game. Now if Bush blows out a knee that's a completely different story.

 

I've wondered all along whether Bush was waiting till he saw what team was in line for him before he committed. I figure if he wanted to be in Houston, he would have given an indication as soon as he heard we had the #1 pick. VY hasn't been bashful about saying what he wants to do...

 

He was too the consensus #1. If he had come out, no doubt that San Fran would have drafted him #1

 

that's how i remember it too, Cat. particularly given the draft order and who was ultimately taken #1.

 

I remember that there was no question. The niners momentarily hinted they make take Edwards to see if they could trade the pick because they weren't in love with either Rodgers or Smith. But Leinart would have been a definite.
