Spartica4Real Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/1447321 I'll welcome him back so he can sign a 1 day contract and retire here! He may have never turned into the player we all hoped he could be but man he was an exciting player. He also carved out an entire position in our offense that we still use to this day with Sproles and now Kamara. I'll never forget the excitement during the offseason of 06 when we signed Brees and then the Texans passed on Reggie and we got him. That was the turnaround of Saints football, so while he may not be some legendary Saint on the field and won't have his number retired or anything like that lol, I say bring him home on a 1 day and let him retire as a Saint.

Mid Iowa Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yeah, I'm cool with this too. He never got into any trouble, and he was dang fun to watch. I drank the Kool-Aide too. I've got a nice Bush 25 jersey (doubles as a Rafael Bush jersey ). I think it's fun that he wants to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navysaintsfan Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 He was a good dude. Never lived up to the potential, but was always fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him calling PTs Super Bowl touchdown and sprinting onto the field when it happened was a great moment too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Love Reggie. His selection really changed psyche of this team. I don’t think we have the success we had without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we have the success we had without him. Yeah people calling him a bust are just so wrong. On the field he wasn’t what we thought but he was an integral part of a Super Bowl winning team. You take that at #2 every time and never look back.

Bush was a big part of our superbowl roster and the original speciality back in Payton's offense. Im glad to hear he wants to retire a Saint, love it even more that he says hes coming back HOME!

I'd have to say that honor would actually go to Marshall Faulk in 1993. It wasn't exactly "Payton's" offense, but I have no doubt that season really helped Payton define the position for what it meant to his team.

I mean without Bush, I don't think Payton would've gone through such lengths to get a Flex-back like he has over the years. He probably would've went AJ Hawk at #2, at least that was the reports, and we might've gone a much more defensive/pound the ball traditional offense. IIRC we ran a pretty normal offense the first year with just a few wrinkles using Reggie and it just grew each year as Payton found ways to use him.

The Hawk rumors were true so for those who feel Bush was a bust just remember that Payton's 2nd choice was a guy who had a very underwhelming career at linebacker. Also if Hawk is drafted do the Saints eventually trade for Vilma??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
