Niners sign Reggie Bush

Man, this fan base is full of so many spastics.

You guys got the memo... right?? Jim Harbaugh is no longer our HC, and Greg Roman will no longer be calling plays or have anything to do with the offense.

Just because our OC was on our coaching staff before does not mean that his offense and playcalling will be just like Roman's.

This is actually the ONLY move we've made this off-season that has me somewhat excited.

- Bush is 30 years old... he was also used VERY sparingly in his career, meaning he doesn't have close to the wear and tear that other 30 year old RB's have

- Bush was injured last year, but when he played, he looked pretty much as explosive as ever.

- Stretches the field horizontally, can line up as WR, and gives us a home run threat on any given snap


Torrey Smith and Vernon Davis just got THAT much more dangerous with defenses having to worry about Bush underneath.

How many years for Reggie?

I like the signing personally.. I cant help but feeling though a similiar signing with Brandon Jacobs... Former good player, expected to do not alot but a good amount of damage to opposing defenses. I hope it plays out differently seeing as Bush is a completely different type of Back.

I would like to see us use him like to Saints used him.. Funny enough thats the only way i see the coaches using him, like New orleans did. And funny enough, Reggie hated the way the Saints used him so its irony is comical.

Interesting signing though non the less.. Maybe FO doesnt have full support into Hyde yet? I Mean i havent seen the contract yet but I suppose this signing is a good insurance policy if Hyde cant be a true #1 back.

Ummm... why would you want to see him used the way the Saints' used him? Sean Payton wasted the early years of Bush's career.

If you are saying you want to see him used inthe passing game the way the Saints did, I would like that as well. He commands so much respect just on swing out that it opens up the passing game. RB's like Bush and Sproles are what made the Saints offense what it was, Drew Brees has never had a very strong arm, but forcing S's to creep up and CB's to peak in the backfield really opened up throwing lanes for Brees. It's also why the Saints are ponying up for CJ Spiller, a similar type of RB, after not having the underneath passing game and their downfield attack suffering last year.

But Bush deserves about 10-15 carries a game. Payton was hardly giving him any, some games he would have 2-3 carries.

Let's not forget guys, Romans gone everything could be different now

lol Bush isnt going to wear 21. Common sense guys...

He will either wear 22, which he wore in Miami, and is available with Chris Cook gone, or he will buy 25, his number in NO from Jimmie Ward. Those would be my guesses.

If the 49ers havent let a single player wear number 97 for the 7 years since he retired, they arent going to let anyone wear 21 or 52.

Gore left..his number is open

Don't think for a second this former Kim K. pipe layer is getting the #21. If they haven't given out #97 they are NOT giving out #21. I'd put money on #22.

I'd have rather gotten Jaquizz Rodgers. I'd rather have LaMichael James back too, he never got a fair chance, and he was pretty productive when he did get snaps, look at his YPC. Not sure how much Bush has left, have not seen him play in awhile.

Bush will be #20 Book it.

Love the signing. Great compliment to Hyde and Hunter. One year removed from a big year and adds another home run threat

Who said the 9ers will not allow anyone to wear 97, plus by didn't leave to another team

If Roman was still the OC, this would be the stupidest signing in our history. Fortunately for us, Geep might know how to utilize Bush to his strengths. More passes to RBs out of the backfield will be nice to see. Good compliment to Hyde and hopefully Huntet if he stays healthy.

we have our big back in hyde who also has speed, hunter is our slasher and bush is our swiss army knife/delanie walker guy that we can lineup all over the placed to mess with defenses. good signing
