Who would you take?
Both are probably going to do great next year.

Choices?

Umm, like who do I want as my back, or who is gonna have a better season next year??

Reggie's getting a bigger role next year, but Gore will be getting like all the carries, and will be the star on his offense.

I would take Reggie Bush if I had to take one, particularly for what the Saint's need out of him.

Either way (Performance Next Year, or otherwise) I'd take Reggie Bush...
There's just no resisting his ability to move into the Slot, and scare the bejesus out of whoever's covering him.

Now...if only he'd stop getting happy feet so much, then you'd essentially have Marshall Faulk... but with more speed...

Got to go with Gore at this point. While I think Bush will be very good, as long as Duece is there he's going to have to share some.

Ask the 49er's what they think of Bush after that game

i will bush. he will fit perfectly with the bengals. with his punt returning and receiving ability, carson palmer will be delighted.

The guy who lead the NFC in rushing last year, no brainer.

Bush will never be an everydown back like Gore is

he had two major knee injuries and so if gore keeps this pace up he WILL get injured. Jackson is a cross between the two.

Is the thread about Jackson?

I didn't think so, get off his jimmy.

I just had to include him... he really is a cross of the two.... combines gores power and a litttle of running with reggies catch ability in the backfield and ability to break loose.

ok ill stop with jackson......i hope

I think Gore is going to better
Because since Brees is doing good they should pass more
while Gore is the best on the Niners

I think we will be running the ball more this year, the line will be more experienced, Deuce should be fully recovered, Bush will be better.....

I still think Gore will put up bigger stats next year, but like I said, I wouldn't give up Bush for him.

I wouldn't give up Bush for any back though, he's got to much upside, and a style conducive to longevity.

The Saints seemed to get away from the run a lot when they shouldn't have. I know in the Philly game in the playoffs, I don't remember the stats, but I know Deuce was beasting it, and just getting yards at will, but we kept going away from him.

I think Deuce had 2 Touchdowns
and ran 143 yards

Is that the game that an Eagle cracked Reggie?

Yup, Sheldon Brown I believe.

It was right before Reggie got his first career playoff TD.

gore just because hes more of a bruiser and i love that in an RB

I would rather have gore on my team just because he would fit the one cut system the broncs have, but i'm not sure what to think of bush I think he has the potential to be great but right now he's just not that great at running between the tackles (has more potential obviously though)

gore is hard to turn down but i think bush is better

Bush is not a full time Running back, I have to take Gore.

Plus Gore can run between the Tackles with his incredible strength, Bush can't run between the tackles at all.

Obviously, as many suggest, it depends on what you want from your back, and health.

I am personally a fan of the Bush type of back, as that's the type I was (just style, not quality, obviously)...but I admit that if you want a feature runner in most sets, you can count on a Gore type more. He's your E. Smith type, with better speed and lesser read and line. I've never loved watching that type as much, but OC's often love them.

DC's worry somewhat more about the game breakers, though. One other thing, though, in Gore's defense...he has more playmaking and burst than I thiunk many give him credit for. He's not just a 4 yards in a cloud of dust guy.

So, as a fan, as an ex-running back, all that, I prefer Bush. But I might prefer to bank on setting up around Gore, assuming his knee holds out.
