Reggie Bush to be on SportsRadio 610 this afternoon

You guys are so frigging sensitive. I'm not talking about the obsession of fans. That, I get. I'm talking about how the media has decided that it is going to run its very own "We want Vince" campaign. I, personally, have never seen anything like it in 30+ years of media in Houston.

I totally understand a fan's desire to see VY play here, especially if you live and die with UT.

But, read the media from around the country. Most mock drafts have Young going to Oakland or Arizona. Only a very few have him even going 3rd to Tennessee. His player ranking is between 5 and 7 in most rating systems. Most assume that the Texans are taking Bush and few if any are questioning that decision.

The biggest debate has centered around the fact that he is a Texan and a Houstonian, giving added incentive to the Texans to draft him. Yes, he is a brilliant player, but, outside of Texas, there are MANY scouts and media members who believe Leinart will be a better pro.

Personally, I don't agree with them. I think VY has a chance to re-define the position and I'd be fine if the Texans took him. Either player would be a great addition to the team. I just find it really weird that the media has swarmed on this as if they themselves were fans, which they most certainly are not.

And, part of me wants the Texans to take Bush just to see how the media responds, but, frankly, either one would be fine.

 

houston should pick vince, by skip bayless

here's two just from the marathon thread

 

And don't you think the reason you only found 2 articles in a "lets argue everything for or against VY thread" is a sign the National media doesn't have him going number #1? There is a hell of alot of internet savvy people who will use any argument to get draft VY support and you only found 2 articles - one by Skip Bayless.

Of course I am to lazy to look myself and maybe you didn't look thoroughly and there is more - but please give me something other then Skip Bayless.

 

Gunn, why do you post stupid stufff? It's just stupid. Anyone who would believe anything in this post is just a stupid stupid-head.

 

I agree with this guy... Vince is getting talked down to give people an excuse not to take him.

 

To show, how Bush is making such a strong impact in other markets,...The Tennessean ran a big piece in the sports section exhibiting Titans comments on Bush in a highly praising way and hoping for a chance of getting Bush would be unlikely but a nobrainer with the talent the guy is demonstrating.

To qoute (paraphrase) Fisher, "it's inconsequential if the guy runs a 4.29 or really a 4.37, he can do too much and is unbelievable fast"

"I'd hate to see him twice a year"

 

Even the majority of the Houston population has come to their senses. There is a new poll on www.sportsradio610.com

Currently
75% Bush
25% Young

 

LOLLERIFFIC

I'm sure that poll is scientific and a an accurate gauge of the entire Houston poblacion.

ROFFLEHAUS

Just like the Reggie Bush height magic measuring tape!

LAFFSTOP

 

thats because he's a home town hero!
we should be crazy about vince if we was from utah.

 

I tell you what....why don't you, in your infinite wisdom, come up with criteria for being a Texan fan! That way, us bandwaggoners can have something to refer to when analyzing just how much of a fan we really are.

You need to get a grip. I had no hidden message. I am just tired of people on here crying because they are getting their way about VY. It's just getting so tired, and frankly I can rest easier at night knowing that my fledgling 5-year old team is not in the hands of those who don't know how to let the old college years go and move on.

 

where would david carr go if we got young?

 

Oh my god....next year's #1 and this years #2 and #3 for a player that wont even start? Amusing.

 

I think the only thing I am concerned about is the media bias that has already been refered to here in the thread. I am seriously concerned that Reggie Bush won't get a fair shake with the local media, and they will be awaiting any less-than-spectacular moment from him on or off the field to hammer away at him and denigrate him as much as they can, only because by doing so -- in their minds -- they're somehow propping up Vince as the guy we should've drafted instead.

I think it's unfair to Reggie Bush if that happens, the kid didn't ask for this, he's a terrific talent and its disrespectful if everytime he's on radio or TV he's being asked about Vince as if he's being subtly told by the media, "We don't want you here, you're not welcome here".

Let's be fair to this guy, Vince is terrific and I sort of lobbied for him as well, even though I am not a UT fan, but I won't be blinded to the fact that Reggie Bush is a terrific talent and we'ld be lucky to have him and enjoy his potential greatness for years to come.

Whether it's Reggie or Vince, the Texans will come out on top...it's a win-win.

 

For all the people who want Bush instead of Young,


Please pass me whatever you're smoking.

 

Are you in Houston? Because the general feeling around here from most fans is that they prefer the Texans draft Reggie. You still have your small minority of fans that think the Texans should draft VY, but it's nowhere near what it was immediately following the Rose Bowl.

 

We're growing. People who want Young instead of Bush are an endangered species. They need a new habitat, so few of them...

 

LOL -what? I don't go around accusing people of being bad texans fans depending on who they draft or scream at them for not being excited enough about draftees or personnel moves. That's a distinctive characteristic of others.

BUt hey, if you want to know who a Texans fan is the answer is: whoever wants to be one. Simple.

 

OK i take it you guys forgot what happened to Bush in the Rose bowl, he got shut down. UT defense is a good college defensive line, multiply that by 10x and Bush wont do squat in the pros. I'm sorry but if the Texans select Bush they will be sorry, he will be a non-factor in the NFL.
They need to select the best player in the draft and that is Vince Young.

 

Well since you can see into the future so well why don't you tell us who else the Texans should draft.
