You cannot come out and say for sure that Reggie Bush would perform worse in Houston than he is in New Orleans so I am not buying into that arguement. For all we know he could of been the major focus of that offense and had more catches and rushing yards than he did in New Orleans. We will never know so thus that argument is pretty much worthless.
All I want to know is what Mario Williams has done so far to prove that he was a better choice than Reggie Bush? You guys can not seem to answer that question. I asked it to Ellis but he hurried and signed off. I would like to here what he has to say though.

They are similar in their style of play though and that was the point I was getting at.
While we can offer no evidence that Williams is a better player than Bush, we can offer very logical reasons as to why we think Bush would not have been as impressive in Houston as he was in New Orleans. The fact is that the NFL is not a one man show (as we have seen with Vick and the Falcons), if Bush had gone to Houston he would have had to been the man that the offense ran through and quite frankly we can prove that he couldn't of had that load. There are two reasons to believe that he wouldn't be very good as "the man" in Houston.
1. Scat players cannot be the only option on offense. We have seen this with Marshall Faulk, in Indy, when he had no other weapons around, him was not a spectacular player, put him into that St. Louis offense he tore it up.
Same thing with Priest Holmes, not overly impressive in Baltimore, give KC's O-Line (which at Priest peak was arguably the best in the league), Trent Green and Tony G, and he became a great back.
2. From what we have seen of Bush he cannot do it alone, he had Leinart, a bunch of talented receivers and a good supporting back in White.
In New Orleans, Reggie has Brees, a few good wide outs and a solid supporting back in McAlister.
If Reggie was a Texan he would of had... Carr (a career 75.5 QB rating), Andre Johnson (an unproven talent) and Dominik Davis (out all year) surrounding him.
in closing:
I am not saying that Williams is a better player, in-fact I think he is the inferior player, he was just a better for the Texans needs.
Situation does play a big factor in the NFL and Bush landed in a great situation, his situation would not have been so great in Houston.
