But what I didn’t know was that Bush, whom the team traded a 2012 late-round pick and safety Jonathon Amaya to New Orleans to acquire this offseason, was the WORST rated tailback in the NFL according to ProFootballFocus.com.

Not one of the worst.
Not the worst amongst starters.
THE WORST tailback in the NFL five games into the 2011 season.
ProFootballFocus.com, which rates every snap of every game for every player in the NFL, isn’t the end all, be all. The website isn’t the gospel when it comes to position ratings, or player evaluations. But it is a starting point, and usually provides plenty of hints.
For instance, rookie Mike Pouncey has been pretty solid this season. What do you know, he’s the second best center in the NFL according to ProFootballFocus.
The hint I got today was that Bush was rated 111, dead last amongst every single tailback who has carried the ball this season. That includes former Dolphins tailback Larry Johnson, and present ones like Steve Slaton and Lex Hilliard.
YIKES!
I was so stunned by my discovery I checked into his ratings from past seasons. Bush finished the 2010 season rated the NFL’s 35th best tailback by PFF (not bad). In 2009 he was No. 12 (even better).
So why is he 111th now?
My guess is improper usage, and I talk about that during my Friday session with WQAM’s Gino Torretta show, which you can listen to by clicking this link.

Yeah, like we didnt all see that one coming.

I'm gonna go find some of my posts prior to that draft :lol:

Oh what a pi**ing match that entire scenario was.. :lol:
 
Does anybody have the link to the actual list? I'm curious to see what criteria they used for these rankings.

If you were a GM, would you seriously pick Hilliard for your team over Reggie Bush?
 
I'm shocked that we always ruin players, we make bad ones worse, and good ones bad. (before you say reggie is terrible he was 35th and 12th, we make him dead last)

What shocks me even more than him being dead last, is that he was EVER ranked as high as 12.

Might be very good to study criteria as LobsterMobster suggests.

Of course not, but when you have an idiot Gm picking talent for an even stupider HC they wouldn't know what to do with that talent anyways. (ex: Marshall, Bess, Bush, etc)
 
he can thank brian daboll for the distinction...worse usage of a guy who needs space to operate in i've ever seen...no doubt

It's stupid sparano who came out before the season started saying Bush is an every-down back.


Moron. Worst coach ever who has no clue how to be a head coach in the NFL. And has no clue how to allocate players


So i don't blame daboll as much as i blame sparano for all the stupidity (for ALOT of things). The Dolphins were doing stupid things under sparano's watch well before daboll even arrived here., Daboll didn't use Cribbs between the tackles in Cleveland very much on handoffs. I am 100% sure it's sparano's stupid idea to do that with Bush and telling daboll to do so.

He hasn't been used very well but I think it's important to note that the guy just isn't very good, either. In the same role Bush was used in, Darren Sproles has been undoubtedly better than Bush ever was in New Orleans.
 
So after a fresh start on a new team and a "re-dedication" to football only to achieve worse results, I think it's finally safe to to say, "Bush is a bust".

Let's just run him up the middle 150 more times.. maybe it'll finally work.
