McFadden vs Bush

supermario86 · 05-25-2007, 08:58 AM

I'm gonna have to say Reggie just because of his athletic ability and sheer versatility

schmiddog · 05-25-2007, 09:32 AM

McFadden all day, every day.

He's a full time back in the NFL, Reggie is not.

McFadden's potential exceeds Peterson's

islandboy843 · 05-25-2007, 09:37 AM

I got to with Mcfadden. If Bush can put everything together than he will be better.

And Reggie's potential exceeds McFadden's.

I'm suprised that this is even a competition; Reggie absolutely unbelieveable and the only reason people pick McFadden would be becuase he's still in colleeg and is fresher in people's minds

B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-oh.

Reggie Bush. easily.

McFadden has the combination of speed and power at a level we haven't seen in quite some time.

He is ALWAYS a homerun threat and he is better between the tackles than Bush will ever be. Bush has better hands and overall athleticism.

bush has the tool to be one of the most vers backs of all time i think...think about all the yards from scrimmage marshall faulk put up in stl when he was catchin passes and runnin the ball too...reggie will have the chance to do that his entire career and he is only gonna get better

and bush wasn't in college?

ok, he's better between the tackles but how bout the outside? how bout with screen passes? how bout catching out of the slot?

i forgot who said it but, theres more to being a running back than just ground and pounding.

Reggie Bush, no question. The sheer talent is immeasurable. He's just incredible. McFaddens come around every few years. You see a Reggie Bush every few decades.

Wow, some pretty bad McFadden disrespect in here. Easily? No question? I think McFadden still has stuff to prove but he is already very close to Bush in terms of pro potential. He has great size, amazing inside and outside running ability, great speed and breakaway ability, receiving ability, he can even throw the ball. As a pro prospect, McFadden is a much more complete player. As of now I'd still have Bush higher, but it's a very small margin, and after McFadden's junior year there is a very good change he will be above Bush.

I agree with all points, We should remember McFadden was only a Sophomore. Bush had his best season as a junior on a loaded USC offense.

Is that in favor of Bush or McFadden. Explain why?

Its a little of both. It means the best is yet to come for Micky but without too many others weapons on the field don't expect a heisman winner or anything like that.

SenorGato · 05-25-2007, 02:41 PM

You know I like Peterson more than both, but I've always been a fan of guys who run like him.

Then again, I can't say that I have a true feel for McFadden as a project.

Bush was a sick prospect, but I don't think he'll ever be a full time RB or the Faulk clone many think he'll become.

Agreed.

Same here. With the way offenses are run in the NFL today, I would take a pounder every time.

McFadden is a slightly puzzling one. He has had a major injury I think and I really can't think of a player today or from the past that fits his mold closely.

draftguru151 · 05-25-2007, 03:18 PM

The only injuries McFadden has had are the toe injury and the ankle injury at the end of this past season.

-black · 05-25-2007, 03:29 PM

lol every year people will get a new favorite rb that totally erases the memory of their past favorite......next off seasons question

CJ Spiller vs Bush

islandboy843 · 05-25-2007, 03:33 PM

I love Spiller with a passion.

Paranoidmoonduck · 05-25-2007, 03:42 PM

At this point I can't accurately assess them as prospects, and although McFadden looks primed for a monster year, you never know.

I have Bush ahead by a small margin, but both look like special players.

Bush was too.

It's Bush but it is closer than people think.

The 2nd part on his line was the point, he has breakaway ability, but he is also a guy who can get the tough yards and run inside.

dabears10 · 05-25-2007, 03:51 PM

I think McFadden and AP are more comparable than Bush and DMC.

You really can't make this comparison yet, as of now the edge should go to Bush.

Kurve · 05-25-2007, 04:05 PM

i think both coming out of college Bush would still be the higher prospect by a big margin. Bush was compared to Gale Sayers in college how many get compared to someone of that caliber ever coming out of college? Yeah he was in a stocked USC team but the stuff he did was all him no matter if he had help or not the play was his. As for pro level well reggie didnt do to bad most rec for a rookie and really ended up showing the flashes of talent in the later part of the season. Next year reggie will have a huge season i think he will prove everyone wrong that things he cant be a full time back. So i say Bush would be picked before Mcfadden in any draft. Dont get me wrong McFadden is a great back probably the number 1 back in next years draft but he isnt a Reggie Bush.
