Houston Chronicle Richard Justice column: Let's be clear: Bypassing Bush smacks of stupidity.
Byline: Richard Justice
Apr. 29--Reggie Bush would have given the Texans a couple of things they don't have. Like excitement and credibility.
He would have made them dramatically better. He would have made them interesting.
Remember those empty seats at Reliant Stadium last fall? He would have filled them.
Even the people who wanted Vince Young saw Bush as something special. He changes games in an instant. He averaged 8.9 yards per carry last season at USC.
He would have been the face of the Texans the moment they called his name this morning. They'd no longer be Charley Casserly's team. Or Vic Fangio's. They'd have been Reggie's.
When the New York Jets -- the luckiest team on the planet thanks to the Texans -- take him, watch those highlights again.
