syhuang Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Former Louisville RB Bush has leg surgery Gasparro said Bush sought another medical opinion when his bone didn't heal quickly enough. He's expected to be out another couple of months and won't be able to work out Monday during Louisville's pro day, Gasparro said. rotoworld.com Bush had planned to run at the Cardinals' March 26 Pro Day but is now expected to be sidelined another "few months," according to the AP. There were hints that Bush wasn't healing correctly, as he was limping on the sidelines of Louisville's Orange Bowl win over Wake Forest and skipped all of the Combine drills. Bush is now less likely to make an impact in his rookie season and might begin it on the PUP list. He also could fall out of the first two rounds of the draft.

You can now officially remove me from the Michael Bush bandwagon. Kenny Irons is looking better and better by the minute. Did I just write that? Jesus. Actually, put me on the official "get michael turner" bandwagon.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I'd still rather have michael bush over marshawn lynch, but I guess theres always antonio pittman.
stinky finger Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I'd still rather have michael bush over marshawn lynch Me too. In a whellchair race.......
marauderswr80 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 yeah and most around here wanted to trade picks away for him.........NICE! I bet his stock drops like a rock now, I think he would be around in the 5th round on.
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I bet his stock drops like a rock now, I think he would be around in the 5th round on. I think someone in a good situation already RB-wise will take him a bit earlier. Poor guy, he's gone from a sure 1st round, to mid-2nd, and now probably 3rd or later.

I just found it very funny people around here wanted to trade picks away to get him in the first round. This is exactly why I was against it in the first place.
1billsfan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 At least we won't have to read anymore "Bill's should draft Bush" posts. You don't draft guy's that big who've broken their leg that badly unless it's the sixth or seventh round and the risk of that player not panning out is greatly diminished. I doubt he was even on the Bills board anyways.
IDBillzFan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Somewhere Tom Donahoe is reading this thinking: Man, if I had the #12 pick this year, I'd show people a trick or two...
apuszczalowski Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 So bush is now officially off the draft board for the Bills (unless they can get him on the second day. They need to draft a RB that can come in and make an impact immediately. Had they kept McGahee, picking Bush ealrier would have been ok, he could come in after McGahee left, but right now its someone who can start and make an impact NOW
Brandon Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 That sucks for him. I would imagine that he's now carrying an undraftable grade for at least a few teams. His best option probably would have been to petition the NCAA for a medical hardship and returned for another season. But by signing an agent, he likely doesn't have that option anymore.
marauderswr80 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 With this happening, There is a chance he may never get drafted. Now a days draft picks are soo important to teams that many teams may take a pass on him and draft someone else. He may sign with someone as a undrafted free agent.

Normally I'd say you are 100% correct. However, didn't Mike Shanahan blow a first day draft pick on Maurice Clarett?

marauderswr80 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Normally I'd say you are 100% correct. However, didn't Mike Shanahan blow a first day draft pick on Maurice Clarett? LOL......Thats true. But, you have to admit teams wont be doing that anymore.
cfbillsfan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I don't want to pick a RB who has an injury history, PERIOD, unless it's a 6th or 7th rounder. I do hear ya, and I don't think I would take a chance on Bush either, but under this philosophy the Bills would have passed on Thurman Thomas............
Navy Chief Navy Pride Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I do hear ya, and I don't think I would take a chance on Bush either, but under this philosophy the Bills would have passed on Thurman Thomas............ A second rounder for a guy who obviously still is affected by the injury that required the surgery to begin with...NO THANKS!!! There are too many other second and early third round backs to take his place. We have a void to fill and it is not on the bench or in the rehab clinic. I never say no to Bush but in this case I have to.
The Dean Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I don't want to pick a RB who has an injury history, PERIOD, unless it's a 6th or 7th rounder. I thought we were using the 7th rounder in the LaDainian Tomlinson trade.
Navy Chief Navy Pride Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I thought we were using the 7th rounder in the LaDainian Tomlinson trade. You didn't hear? They wanted BAL's 3rd and our 7th for that deal...Marv wouldn't come off the picks.
