I think he will be the guy for stretch run plays and anything out of the backfield. Hyde and Hunter handle everything between the tackles.

Great , we got another RB in the Sproles mode....who, like our #2 pick RB, we then proceeded to not use. Terrific. Oh, plus now we got Reggie Bush with a full odometer, and not much left when you step on the gas. Great. Just great.

This is just great depth at RB and PR. Let's see the contract.

Meh. How was he as a returner?

I want to see Hunter and Hyde get plenty of touches.

Are we finally going to start passing it to our RBs? Bush could fill out the roster as a solid third down back and punt returner

I'm happy we got him...but i don't understand why he would want to play for us...

He's not going to get many touches.

Edit- he is are only home run threat out of the backfield....so the read option with him and Kap can be deadly...If he is given space. Some are bringing up his age, but he still has his speed.

Maybe not many good options for him. We'll see

Age is all relative. He's missed 28 games in his 9 year career. Yeah he is quite fragile but if he's able to overcome his health issues I think we get a back with fresh legs and a lot of energy.

Frank Gore averaged 240 carries per season over a 10 year career. Bush? 140 over a 9 year span.

Like Crabtree, there's no where else to go. If Geep Chryst is a creative OC, this could be lethal in a read option with Kap.
