Andre Johnson has always been good and put up great numbers, he's just not hurt this season.
And Reggie bush is doing the same thing he was doing his rookie year now that he doesn't have to be a RBComment

Reggie Bush two rushing touchdowns, yeah, he improved.
Drew Brees, yeah he didn't pass for over 4,000 yards last year.
Roddy White was known after last year when he had a 1,000 yard year.
Andre Johnson has already been noted as a top reciever, he's had two 1,000 yard seasons and when healthy he makes the Texans a good team.

most improved fellas...ronnie brown before his injury led the league in yards from scrimmage last year, lets forget about him...and Andre Johnson is IMO a top5 reciever if not top 3, he has injury problems wich hurt his numbers but a true football fan knows this guys a monster. LenDale White is getting more carries, and the line is much improved so of course his numbers are up...Jason Campbells first 2 yrs,17 int... he fumbled 13 times last yr alone. He's averaging over a yard per completion more then his career best, he already has 8 tds no picks yet, his career best for tds is 12. his completion percent is up over 6% then his career best. He is making a very strong push...Orton is much improved too its a hard one...
Most improved offensive player: Campbell/Orton
Most Improved Defensive player: Finnegan/Haynesworth(he was good before but this year he is a monster) and my homer pick is Jugua Parker who is having a real solid year under the radar
It hurts to say campbell as a eagles fan, but he looks like a completely different player now...we'll see if it last and have this conversation in another 2 months lol

Ok Reggie Bush has 294 rushing yards right now and is hurt.
Brees was second in the league in passing yards last year only to Tom Brady.
Roddy White was tied for 8th in the league in receiving yards.
Andre Johnson was hurt last year, only played in 9 games and still scored 8 time.
Where is your improvement here? Brees, White and Johnson stayed playing at a high level and Reggie Bush hasn't showed up yet.Comment

Reggie Bush isn't a true "runningback". Why don't you check how many catches and yards he has receiving. It isn't fair to say he hasn't shown up when he isn't expected to get huge rushing numbers.
As for the thread, I'd say for offense its Orton, defense Porter.Comment

its actually sad...bush has lots of receptions...but hes not a running back...the problem is hes not even a receiver...seriously would any of you pick this guy in the top 5 of the draft? even top 10? If he was an official wide reciever would you? i think he wouldnt do half as good lining up outside. It sucks but there are some very quality players from that years draft that could of helped new orleans more.Comment

Easily Orton of Campbell.
Roddy White had his coming out season last year and this season he's just continuing on it. It's great to see him go from potential bust to top 5 receiver (statistically this year anyway) In a couple of years.

Do you know how much of an impact Bush has by just being on the field? He isn't nor will he ever be a true runningback. New Orleans knows this so they let him do what hes great at by throwing short passes to him in the flats(which are basically extended hand offs) and let him make people miss. Obviously he isn't going to take it to the house everytime, but who does? I can tell by your arguments that you just look at stats and assume. Stats don't tell how much of an impact he has on the field for the Saints.
I would take Bush top 5 every time. I'd like to hear who would have helped the Saints more too, btw.Comment

Bush is a threat in so many ways for new orleans and makes such a difference , like bones sed id love to know who could of made a bigger impact so far for new orleans , id draft bush top 5 everytime in that draft class . Hes a constant threat and u always gotta keep ur eye on him to see where he is , his rookie season they went to the confrence championship and he made some big plays for them on the way so please who could of had a bigger impact for them?
New Orleans never drafted Reggie Bush to be a 30 attempts a game running back in the first place , they knew what they were getting from him , hes an all round player . Rushing , Receiving , Speical teams hes a threat on all of them
NO hes not a shout for most improved or anything for me btwComment

He's played some decent games, but i wouldn't go so far as to say he's the most improved player in the entire NFL, most improved on the colts maybe.Originally posted by JRC865Comment
