[Official] Reggie Bush or Someone else -- Vince Young out of running

Considering your foward looking statements on the Rose Bowl, you would think someone who has made a fool of themselves in predictions would refrain until they know wtf they're talking about.


its so funny, you are having a hissy fit about 610 still talking about trading the pick in the other thread. who are you trying to convince, vince fans or yourself.

 

Bet me then. Put your money where your mouth is. You are seriously the only one saying that the decision hasn't been made, everyone else seems to have a bit of intelligence based on the logical events of things that have happened and have been said recently. Seriously, you are the only one.

 

I'm not trying to convicnce anyone but you. You are the only one at this point. Well you and maybe Rich Lord.

 

I already proved my intelligence over you when I said ut would win the rose bowl. i have nothing else to prove.

 

You also said Steve Francis is better than Tracy Mcgrady.

 

I never said that, prove it.

 

You still owe me for Reggie Bush being only 5-10 and change when you went on and on about him being 6 feet tall - so any and all bet proceeds must be remanded to me.

Consider your bet winnings hereby GARNISHED.

 

He's not only 5-10... he's 5-10 and 7/8's. So technically, if you bet that he was "only 5-10", then you should lose. Is this bet really something to be proud about?

 

I bet that he was less than 6 feet. I'm very very very proud of winning this bet.

Prouder than a milk-buying muslim.

 

I know what you mean sam, I'm not trying to prove I know more, just chill with the "this is a done deal" comments. none of you guys know, as well as me not knowing. the only reason you are making those comments is to bother people who have been arguing for vy. and its silly.

and then when someone says this isn't a done deal, or makes a comment that infers such, you guys are the ones getting mad. you look ridiculous.

 

Um, I believe they are saying this is a done deal because:

1. Reggie Bush says he's looking for a house in Houston and saying it's a "99.9% chance he's the pick"... why so confident? Maybe he's been told?
2. All the media is saying he's "set for Houston".
3. Reports of contract talks.
4. Kubiak/CC quotes.

More

 

Of course we're taking Bush. VY6 isn't first pick material. Too many questions.

Bush will be a star.

 

see its posts like these. what comments from casserly and kubiak. all I've seen is they haven't decided. what reports of contract talks? you guys are delusional. you're making things up. the only truthful "solid" evidence is bush's quote, which could be interpetted any way.

 

glad i let our subscription lapse!

 

Oh geez, why would I make things up? I'm a Rockets fan, not a Texans one. I don't care about this debate, but I've been browsing through this forum and especially texans/fanzone.com and there have been many quotes that BASICALLY lead to the assumption that Bush is 100%... Oops, I mean 99.9% our #1 pick. You're the delusional foolish fellow here.

 

The decision has been made in awhile. VY fan's only consolation now is that he may be the first QB taken. Even Mort is starting to backtrack.

If you're not even a fan, why do you say "our?"

If the Texans select Reggie Bush with the first pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, the USC running back should have an easy transition.

Speaking with head coach Gary Kubiak Thursday, Bush discovered that if the Texans draft him, his role will be comparable to what it was in college.

“We were pretty much both on the same page,” Bush said of his meeting with Kubiak. “(I’ll be used) similar to the way I was used at Southern Cal, being established as a running back first, and then splitting out wide and playing a little receiver, and returning punts and kicks.”

Bush’s visit with the Texans occurred less than five days after he wowed NFL scouts and coaches at the USC pro day. But the Heisman Trophy winner showed another side of his personality in his first-ever trip to the Bayou City. Appearing calm and composed, Bush spoke to the media in the afternoon and described his tour of Reliant Stadium as well as his meetings with the coaches, players and front office staff.

Asked about what most impressed him about his visit, Bush mentioned the facilities and the team’s attitude and direction, particularly with the Texans’ recent signings.

“It just seems like they have nothing but high expectations for this season and upcoming seasons,” he said. “They’ve made some great additions to their offense this year with Eric Moulds and a few linemen. It just seems like adding those few pieces of the puzzle—hopefully me and a few other guys—will get this team up and running and hopefully competing for a championship this next coming year.”

Vying for titles is nothing new for Bush, who played in three BCS championship games at USC. Because of that experience, as well as the NFL-styled program that head coach Pete Carroll runs, Bush feels like the jump to the league will be that much easier.

“I feel like (head coach Pete Carroll) has been preparing me for this point in time ever since I’ve been at USC, from the first time I stepped foot on the football field,” Bush said. “It’s just the way that we practiced, the way that we worked out, the different mental things that you have to know as far as his offense…I don’t think this started just within these last couple of months, but since the day I stepped on the field at USC.”

In his press conference, Bush kept to himself most of the details of his conversations with team personnel. He did say, however, that the topic of who the Texans would select first on April 29 never arose.

“No, I didn’t directly ask them that question,” Bush said. “They didn’t really tell me anything directly, other than the fact that they’re excited for this upcoming draft and excited for me to be a Texan. And that’s pretty much as far as it goes. It’s still early and I don’t think that they would want to put that out there anyway. I wouldn’t want to, anyway.”

Bush never has denied his desire to join the Texans. But he also is aware that the team is assessing all of its options, and a blockbuster trade could alter the course of the draft. Either way, Bush is prepared to be the face of any franchise that drafts him.

“I feel like it’s something I’ve been looking forward to my whole life and I’m not going to shy away now,” Bush said of the attention. “I’ve played under some of the most intense pressure at USC and some of the highest expectations.”

For those people unfamiliar with Bush’s running style, Carroll has compared it to former Chicago Bears halfback Gale Sayers. At 5-11, 202 pounds, Bush is sturdy enough to take a hit, but he gains most of his yards by relying on his wits and quickness.

While Bush shies away from comparisons to legendary players, mostly because he feels like his accomplishments pale in comparison, he did admire players such as Sayers, Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk and Emmit Smith as an adolescent.

In any case, Bush is off to blaze his own trail. The fact that he wants to do that in Texas quarterback Vince Young’s backyard only thickens the drama around the draft.

Bush is aware of the debate between him and Young among Texans fans, but he doesn’t let it affect him.

“I would hope that the city would welcome me with open arms,” Bush said. “That’s the way that I would like it to be. But at the same time, I understand that this is (Young’s) hometown and it would be the same way if it were (my hometown) San Diego. I expect for him to have fans here and for them to want him to come here.”

When he was asked if he looked forward to facing Young twice a year, which could happen if Young is drafted by the Tennessee Titans, Bush only smiled.

“I’m pretty sure wherever Vince goes, they’re going to try and make it a rivalry between me and him,” Bush said. “I don’t think it would necessarily have to be in Tennessee.”

He is right about that. Both players could end up in different locations outside of the AFC South. If it were up to Bush, though, Houston would be his final destination.

Only 22 days remain before he finds out if it is.

 

bush or dbrickahsaw

 

Great so if the game is on the line he's going to line up on the side lines.

Just joking, but you know someone was probably going to say it with a straight face.

 

It's all a smoke screen.

The Texans offensive is going to be very interesting to watch. They have a chance to be very explosive, AJ/Moulds/Bush/DD is good core. It's still gonna be up to Carr and OL to make it all work though.
