Too bad for mcfadden, being a good NFL RB isnt about dead ahead, short distance speed. We all knew he might be faster then A Peterson, just not as good of a RB as Peterson is.

gangreenman Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Stop right there Ganggreenman... we dont know that yet..we can talk again in five years.. Again, it all depends what team he ends up on. If its a team with a good OL, a solid QB that can air it out, and some quick receivers to catch it over the middle and stretch the field, I agree he can be very good. If its a team like the Jets or Falcons or Cheifs. Forget about it. Instant bust for that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they dont judge a guy if hes a bust by his first year..they give it a few years... and if your sayin we cant fix our o-line in a few years then guess what???

BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Everybody knew he was fast and i guarantee training with michael johnson helped him getting out of the blocks a lot more than people expected. Yes, he is blazing fast, but none of this dispells the notion that he still doesn't have the leg drive you want in the NFL. He will make some team happy im sure, but we have too many holes to fill. Gholston put up 37 reps in the 225, matching Long for the record so far, which is impressive. I will say that 4.27 is a lot faster than i expected...and deon's time wasn't official, there was rumors he ran sub 4.2 as well as bo jackson, but they didn't have the electrical timing back than. I will also wait to see McFaddens agility drills, if they are as good as his 40 time than i might have to reform my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 He's a total athlete, this guy will take us to the top. Everyone needs to get off his back, he's clearly the best player in the draft. WE NEED HIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were in a whole lot more trouble then we thing bro.. But what you seem to be missing is that each of the teams I mentioned (Cheifs, Jets, and Falcons) ALL have MUCH, MUCH, more pressing needs than a RB. We have Thomas Jones and Leon, the Falcons have Warrick Dunn, and the Cheifs have Larry Johnson. What NONE of those teams have is a solid QB, a solid OL, or a dominant front 7. Given all that, taking a RB with a top 10 pick would be flat out dumb. And BTW, we're NEVER going to fix the OL if we keep ignoring it to draft and sign "Playmakers" like Samuel and Mcfadden.

If he's clearly the best player in the draft and far and away the #1 player, than he's not going to make it to us. If he does make it to us, than there is something that the falcons, raiders and anyone looking to trade up didn't like about him, however he is having a very impressive combine so far.

Okay, I disagree with you about Dbrick but fine. Say he does suck. That means we should ignore the OL and just worry about getting playmakers? How does that make sense?

You tell us to wait 5 years to see how mcfadden does yet your judging dbrick after only 2 years. Is that because he isn't your precious mcfadden or is it that you are a hypocrite who uses these lines only when it serves his purpose?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis Martin. We need McFadden. You'll trade up and give up anythin?? Sacrific the rest of our team for one single player?? If mcfadden can pull as our LG and block for himself as well as provide a pass rush on defense than go for it, but until than there's no way i trade up for him. You want to mortgage our entire season for one player? that just baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShow Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm with you Ghost! I want Mcfadden! if he might fall to 6 we have to get him! if not, trade our pick and maybe vilma to move up and grab him! he can be our Probowl running back for the next 8 years! a running game that he can bring to this team will help everything! it will keep our crappy D off the field, make wichever QB is out theres Job alot easier! so weather it's chad or Clementine, He will make them alot better. One guy can do this much for us! if you don't see it.. your Blind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I was a little off put by McFadden's physical attributes, Like Sperm and RSJ have been talking about his skinny legs are a concern. However 4.27 is F'ing ridiculous, seriously if this guy gets anywhere near any kind open field he will be nerly untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis Martin. We need McFadden. You're right! Cause everyone knows a great rb makes a team so much better, just look at the Vikes!! Let's draft DMC and forget about the D!! We all know Defenses do not win championships! The Giants D was just a fluke! Look how powerful the Patriots O was! and they almst won it all!! GO DMC!!!!

Iceman88 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Look McFaddens time was incredible but we all knew he was fast. The questions that needed answering is how strong McFadden is and he didn't even lift. All this means is its much more likely Dallas tries to trade up for him.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Are you trying to say Peterson hasn't made the Vikes better??? He's improved that team drastically. He did improve it, but did you see what happened when he went out the two or so games with the sprained MCL?? Chester taylor rushed for close to or over a 100 yards in both games, which shows that they have an amazing offensive line. There were games when AD rushed for 30ish yards on roughly 20 carries, because they stacked the box and weren't afraid of the passing game. We have so many holes on our team that McFadden isn't going to turn our team around 180 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you for that year, but when one of the three got some road grading o linemen, watch out. Peterson is good, but make no doubt about it, without minny's o line, he doesn't have that good of a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
