Reggie Bush on Rashaad Penny

[mikeak]

When he retires, Rashaad Penny will be considered the greatest running back in the history of the NFL. That's why I gave the pick a grade of A-

Wouldn’t that make it an A+?

No, because they could have picked him two rounds later.

No, because he wouldn't have been there. New England would have picked him up.

I don't joke about my Adopt-a-rookie :twisted:

Reggie: I haven't done any research so since I am a back and looking at this guys stats, I will pick Penny.


Penny could be very impactful, but Bush is still just throwing darts up there.

Somebody in the future is going to come along and be even better than Rashaad Penny. So if I give Penny an A+ what the hell grade am I going to give the next guy who becomes the next greatest running back of all time when he gets picked? Didn't think about that, did ya?

There hasn't been anyone better then Jim Brown to come along yet so...…..

If Brown had a 16 game season to play there would not be anyone that could reach the numbers he would have achieved, the fact he did it in 12 and 14 game seasons versus 16 and the yardage held as long as it did was amazing by itself.

Brown, Payton and Sanders are my personal top three, and I can put them in any order within that top three depending on which aspect of their game and the team around them you want to highlight. And of course AD, OJ, Dickerson, et al...

Really, it’s difficult if not impossible to say, “this guy was the best ever” because there are so many factors to consider.

From watching the tape he isn't as quick or fast as I had hoped and its evident that he compiled numbers against shoddy opponents while running behind a solid run based system with better than average blocking from OL and receivers. He was not good picking up the blitz either and that is something he will absolutely have to do to play here.
What he does do well is to have great vision to set up his blocks and take advantage of what the defense gives. I mean christine had wiggle and speed but would run right into the back of a linemen or out run his blocking. Also Penny shows more power than I thought he'd have. He might not be beast mode but he doesn't go down easy at all. Only time will tell but I'm still happy with the pick and hopeful that he can be a difference maker.

Agree. I also have a vote for the original beast mode ... Earl Campbell. Man was he something to behold.
