Harris and Woodson both think he has the makings of a starting NFL CB. Fans are too impatient. If one looks at his upside and his rapid development, I don't see how one is not optimistic about his future. Of course he could hit a wall, get injured, or lose his confidence, but that could happen to any young player. I love your McCauley comparison. Some forget the old adage - "the grass is alway greener on the other side of the fence..."BINGO again. Being an NFL CB takes development. Very few come straight into the league and are ready to go. Just look at the miss rate on MANY high draft picks at this position. Bush and Blackmon both are physically talented young men. At this point Bush has shown himself to be the tougher of the two -- physically and mentally, but there is plenty of room for both to develop and get better. It is a sweet luxury to have them behind Harris and Woodson, rather than thrown to the wolves too early.Hell, how can any one ignore that they both beat back challenges by Walker a former NFL starter and Dendy last year's nickel back (who had improved significantly from last year). I guess some fans expect 53 All Pros to be on their teams roster -- perhaps they should hold their breathes waiting. :roll:</blockquote>
