Mike Florio Says Reggie Bush Should be Cut

You guys suck.

BTW……FIRST!!!

How dare he? HOW FREAKIN’ DARE HE??!! I am so filled with intense hatred for Florio right now! GAAAA! I feel a bitching spell coming on!

Just kidding. Someone taught me that I should just ignore this guy and that someone was right. I can’t disagree with everything he says in this article ass-pullin’, but to simply say Reggie should be outright cut is a suggestion that Pay-Loo will never consider. My main point of disagreement is wit this:

The Saints rely on a multi-headed attack at tailback, and Bush is only a bit player in the offense. But the Saints owe him a base salary of $8 million for 2010.

Yes, and Bush is more than just a bit player in the offense. What Florio and most other “analysts” don’t seem to understand is that Bush doesn’t need to get the ball on a particular play in order to affect that play. Opposing defenses widely say he’s a player that has to be accounted for. This serves the purpose of opening up the field a little for other players. Is Bush overpaid? Most likely, but he’s not going to be cut.

He wants his Wikings to pick up Bush and pay him $10M for 2010 to replace Chester Taylor. Reverse psychology. Very tricky.

Otherwise theres no reason to cut him, so Florio got about 1 thing right so I guess he broke at 6:43.

Florio is a genius! Everyone should listen to whatever he says!

See how I did that?? Geez…he’s just such a craazzzyy!!

…to PT and some other folks out there… but NFL isn’t about fair and neither is business. in a “fair” world, players would be paid after the season ended; either by the number of tds, yards, sacks, ints, pancakes, or whatever… but i highly doubt that would ever happen. i’ve seen several posts around here about how much each player “earns” in terms of touches or yards or whatever. i’d like to see some sort of matrix that would put a baseline dollar value on each yard and see what people’s salary / compensation would look like…more games, more money, super bowl = bonus… i’m sure it can be done.

Don’t worry about our spending.

I have been nutural since the draft and this post has pissed me off. Man if it werent for Reggie the team wouldnt have won a few games last year and that is the truth! I posted a huge thread last year on how good Reggie is for the team and how much of an important decoy he can be as well…..WHO IS THIS GUY ANYWAY!! as the guys on ESPN say “COME ON MAN.”

…then I realized it would be a waste of time & effort, he wouldn’t have the first clue of what to do with it…

All the media moguls want is for lots of people to come to their sites and read their content and be exposed to the ads they have sold so that they can charge more money for future ads they want to sell. They couldn’t care less for the reasons you have for coming to their sites – whether you come because you like what is being written, or whether you hate it – just as long as you keep coming back.

If you really want to stop this beast, you need to stop feeding it and outright starve it – don’t go there, don’t talk about it, don’t refer to it, etc.

However, if you’re bored, or just feel the need to attack something, carry on…

and there’s no reason to think those that stay on the roster- those that have important roles and will remain- won’t contribute to another successful season. Yes, I wish Reggie got paid less and PT more, but having said that we have the personnel to get to another Super Bowl and to release a key player- even if he doesn’t lead the league in yards or tds or whatever, is just plain stupid.

 This past Super Bowl victory was a long time coming and I don’t think you should underestimate the roles that any players that played an important part in it. They can do it again if they did it once.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything Florio had to say in this particular post. Bush has been only slightly more productive in this wide open offense, than Devin Hester has been in Chicago’s run heavy attack. Granted, neither team’s offense caters to the position these players have been assigned. That doesn’t make either anything more than a fish out of water in these seemingly miscast roles. They’re both special teams phenomenons playing for teams that are desperately trying to get their money’s worth. While neither are succeeding, neither are failing epically, as both players at least manage to bring a little something to the table. Still, it’s extremely arguable as to whether that little something is enough to merit their current price tags. And that’s exactly what Florio hit on above. It’s the assumption that Bush wouldn’t play for less that fuels his position and I can’t really take exception to that, until I see or hear differently from #25 himself.
