Watching DMac's highlights, one cannot argue that his yards after contact are questionable. Coming out of college, Justin Fargas ran a 4.3 sec 40 yard dash; needless to say that having speed is no longer a guaranteed homerun, not with the likes of bigger, stonger, FASTER linebackers in the mist. Comparing Reggie Bush and DMac in their respected last years of college ball is like comparing apples to cement- different style offense and surrounding talent.

reggie bush the best college player ever? you gotta be freakin' kidding me! 9 out of 10 people???? really, well yeah maybe if the 10 were his family members. i guarandamntee you that if you asked 10 people with any knowledge of college football whatsoever, say before 2005, you'd be lucky to get 1 of them to name him the "best college player ever". if you even polled 10 die-hard Trojan fans or 10 USC alumni, you wouldn't get 9 to name reggie bush. reggie bush would never even be considered the best USC player ever, even top 5 would be debatable in my opinion. pete carroll and lane kiffin wouldn't even say he's the best USC player ever, let alone the best college player ever! you're talking about a guy who wasn't even an every-down back at "Tailback U". take the Rose Bowl loss vs. Texas for example, was reggie bush even the best player on the field in that game????? hmmmm. i could just off the top of my head give you at least 20 guys who were better college football players in their careers than reggie bush. but just to save time, i'll narrow it down to USC players alone.......... marcus allen, charles white (guys who were workhorses back in an era when teams actually played D in the Pac-10), tony boselli, matt leinart, carson palmer, .......i could go on. you're right about reggie bush, though, he never ran anyone over. as far as being an every-down back in the NFL, mcfadden has physical makeup to hopefully become that player......like tomlinson, marshall faulk......guys who were workhorses yet could split out and run routes like a WR. i would be absolutely shocked if mcfadden doesn't ultimately have a significantly better NFL career than reggis bush when it's all said and done.
