Keep Vick, sign Bush, sign Vince Young, trade for Tebow (7th rounder)
You add a few others like Dixon that will come free, pick up Collin Klein in the draft (6th rounder) - he can play TE when not in wildcate / read-option formation
Then run up tempo constant pressure - would be fun as heck to watch and with the number of bodies that can switch positions you can have all of them on the team, several for cheap and have backup "bodies" when one goes down

Super Bowl Stats:
5 carries, 25 yards, 5.0 yards/carry, 0 touchdowns
4 receptions, 38 yards, 9.5 yards/catch, 0 touchdowns
1 punt return, 4 yards
During the season he averaged 27.9 yards a game and only had 5 tds during the regular season.

He was injured ALOT that year.
But, I was kind of talking about the divisional game against the Cardinals. Look it up, I'll wait.

He also had a go ahead TD against Vikes, right?
And, Bush being lined up was something the defense had to account for. Be it slot or RB. His effect on THAT team cant truly be reflected in the stat sheet.
He's not that anymore, but he's still valuable.
Do you state opinions, or just nitpick? Does DTexhawk know you stole his gimmick then?

I love the idea of Bush as a slot mismatch, but I don't think Pete likes his guys that specialized. Both our backs can pass block, and both play third downs. If Pete loved to specialize, Washington would be a third down back a lot more. I'm nitpicking schematic issues I don't like now, I would prefer some guys who can win man matchups rather than a team full of zone beaters, but that idea precludes much versatility.

No. Bush is not a good decision. You asked me to fact check and I did. Sorry you didn't care for the truth. Sounds to me like you're attacking the poster and not the post.

I think Robert Turbin and Doug Martin are very similar and I think his numbers would've been comparable to Martin's if he was starting in Tampa Bay, instead of backing up Lynch in Seattle. Really no need to bring in a 3rd down back that's rarely going to be used, when we have a young versatile every-down back sitting behind Lynch. Also... Reggie Bush is a soft NFL running back in my opinion. How many times a game do you see him going out because he tweaked this or bumped that on a play? I'd prefer to not see us spend money on Reggie Bush.

All valid. And, I wouldn't want them to pay him much. So, it's all kind of fantasy (I have fantasies about Reggie Bush, so what?) at this point. Bush would have to take a paycut and convert to a Harvin type, because like you, I like dont want to take away from Turbin.
I do think this offense needs a Cribbs/Harvin/E Metcalf/Sproles/Bush type.

No, what was your point with your original post in the thread. Bash Bush's fit on the Seahawks all you want, because I'm dumb, but state an opinion.

Also, I can't forgive Reggie yet for his selfish actions that are still hurting USC, and for which he's never owned up or apologized. And therefore I don't want him on any team I follow.

Totally fair and respectable, actually. We all have our players we loathe - mine is Peyton. Even more after acting too good for the Seahawks.
