cowtowndick said:you guys are missing it - i mentioned this here on this site a couple of days ago. he's second guessing coming out because young came out. if it were guaranteed that the texans were taking bush, he would've declared already (he has already said he'd have no problem playing for the texans). but, now that young has declared and a lot of locals in houston are pushing for the texans to pick young, bush sees he'd end up in new orleans, and he doesn't want to go there. it has nothing to do with coming back to win again, or coming back to repeat as heisman winner. he doesn't want to play in new orleans and doesn't want to pull an elway-manning and boycott. the fact that he may have to play for a horrible team has nothing to do with it - he's a top three pick this year or next year, he's stuck with a horrible team no matter which year he's drafted. it's the saints he's trying to avoid - big drop in off the field money, lifestyle, stability. plus, he wouldn't have to play for benson, who's an idiot. and he could avoid looking like a complete jerk by stiffing the city of new orleans when he says he won't play there. looks like he'll leave that to leinhart...
furthermore...who knows. if he goes back for his senior year, there's still a chance to get drafted by the saints in '07 (who could easily be the worst team in the nfl next year). BUT - they will have had a year to either straighten out their situation in new orleans or move (to san antonio, or maybe even....LOS ANGELES). PLUS, he would be joining a team with matt leinhart at qb, just like old times...how's that for a conspiracy theory....you heard it here first: if bush goes back to usc, tagliube and the powers that be push very hard for the move of the saints to los angeles...something they have already started working on. leinhart and bush, on the same team in L.A. - imagine the marketing possibilities....
