The Saints tried him in that role a few different times (most recently late last season, with all our injuries at the position), and he could never make it more than 2-3 weeks before he was standing in street clothes alongside the rest of em on the sidelines.
As a change of pace back though, I think he can flourish. I have no problems whatsoever with calling him one of the top 5 athletic players in the entire league. It's just a matter of how you use him, and most importantly, not over-using him.

Word is that nothing of the sort was promised, or expected, and that Bush will liekly be a 10-15 touches back with Thomas doing the bulk of the work. It's a perfect role for Bush, the question is whether Thomas can perfrom in his role to allow it to happen.
