Let's take a look at the stats.
Reggie Bush (stats are average over career):
Rushing Yards: 573 yards
Rushing Y/Carry: 3.65 yards
Rushing TDs: 10 TDs
Receiving Yards: 579.5 yards
Receiving TDs: 2 TDs
Fumbles: 5 fumbles (he had 8 in the 2007 season)
Side note from good ole' Wikipedia. Reggie Bush is second to only Mr. Peyton Manning. Peyton will be hard to catch there. Bush has deals with: Pepsi, GM, Adidas, and Subway. Don't forget that deal he had with the car dealership at USC (allegedly).
Alex Smith (stats are average over career):
Completion %: 54.4% (48.7% in 2007 which is worst of career)
Passing Yards: 1559 yards
Passing TDs: 6 TDs
Interceptions: 10 ints.
Fumbles: 9 fumbles
I tend to think that Alex Smith is the bigger bust so far. He has had one more year than Bush to pull his act together. I could also be persuaded to go with Bush because of all of the hype and endorsements.
Who ya got? I always want to hear what you have to say. Drop you opinion in the comments.
(p.s: What a huge coincidence that they went to the same high school.)

Reggie Bush is easily the biggest bust. The Saints used the #2 pick for a Kick-0ff and punt returner who can run 22mph in the open field. But he will give up 2-3 positive yards and step out of bounds before taking a hit. He tip-toed through a weak PAC-10 and got more hype than the 700B bail-out. Bottom line is when it's on the line and his team needs a yard his candy ass is not on the field. Plus, his best two statistical games so far in 2008 have resulted in 2 losses. That says it all.
