And I sat here every day and talked about Mcfadden and everyone was abusing me... people even made there names... say no to dmc is one of them I can think of... Well I waited two years... but guess what... turns out that Mcfadden is a Stud and Gholston is a Dud...

Skinny legs!

Runs a gimmik offense at arkansas

Felix Jones is better

Yeah..ok... I told ya so.... that all I will say...

This still doesnt make any sense just because we didnt even have a chance to draft mcfadden that year..cause Crazy Al davis wated his 4th running back... But for all the people that said he sucks..Ha..

DMC is a beast.

There are plenty of haters on the kid that clearly never saw him play. He's a stud. He just needs to stay healthy.

When he was struggling, I even said, guarantee if you put him a team like the Jets he'd be unstoppable.

[bitonti]

how were the jets gonna draft mcfadden? he was gone

if mcfadden were there at 6 he definitely would have been the pick.

JIF Ive watched him closely the past few weeks and he seems to have toughened up a bit maybe hes turning the corner. Good for him. I was a bit harsh in my last assessment of him hes been running hard and moving piles, he never did that. The Raiders are looking good. Maybe he can talk the real pussy of that draft not sure if I need to mention the name.

Meh, I dont think you watched as much as your leading on while he was in college. I literally watched every one of his games and the dude was an absolute beast that did everything everyone claimed he couldnt. Mostly because they were hot talking point for draftniks that truly had no merit.

But whatever, its a moot point. Kid will be good. Damn good.

Did I watch A LOT in college ? no, but I saw enough... and I dont think he ran as hard as hes running now. Did he really have to ?

[Matt39]

2 sh*tty years dont erase 4 good games.

That being said, he looks like a different player this season.

[JiFtheOracle]

In the SEC, you have to run hard on every down. The kid was beastly and doing it with out any passing game. He took a lot of snaps from center and also made some TD throws. But yes, the kid ran really hard all over the SEC. Not an easy thing to do.

I honestly dont know where all the talking points from his haters came from...they were totally unwarranted and off base.

Thats what happens when you are healthy and your team starts to play something resembling Football.

Shouldn't that be 4 good games don't erase 2 sh*tty years?

[SenorGato]

He still has girl legs.

Also, I still prefer Jonathan Stewart from that draft. Shonn Greene on beast 'roids.

[rillo]

I didn't want the guy, but I did want Gholston. That said, the Raiders did the right thing by picking him, lets see if he can play a full season.

[bobbyjet69]

so, if Gholston goes out and has 6 sacks over the next 4 games, then us Gholston wanters are right?

[F.Chowds]

Really? Have you seen him play this year.. just horrible.

[Gastineau Lives]

Yes.

Of course you know that's a silly argument based on it's utter improbability. Waste of ink. Oh wait, we're on the internet. Waste of energy. Now look at what you've done, I too have wasted energy replying to such silliness.

[Scott Dierking]

The great, wonderful thing about football message boards is, if you wait long enough, hold tight, eventually every agenda comes around to being correct, eventually-even if it is short and waning.

This week is that cataclysmic congruence of agenda chest thumping-Schotty, McFadden, TX being TX.......

Football message boards-where "I told ya how smart I am" will eventually come around.

[#27TheDominator]

how were the jets gonna draft mcfadden? he was gone

if mcfadden were there at 6 he definitely would have been the pick.

+1

If we were going to trade up I'd have preferred to take Ryan.

Then we could have taken Maybin in 2009!

[HessStation]

LOL, was thinking the same. Sorry for laughing at your expense Matt, allingoodfun.

I totally remember all that stuff you said about him at draft time. That's how important your opinions are to me.

Kudos on being right, dude.

Meh...off year...happens when the entire franchise is having a down year.

i also seen him play in college, he ran through holes that you could drive a truck through and went down at first contact!

Thank you, I knew I was not imagining it. JIF was spinning his evil spells on meh.

Hes playing GOOD JIF and I gave him credit but hes far from a beast, very far.

[JiFtheOracle]

Meh, not really. I've never seen an SEC running back do what he did on a team that literally was zero threat to throw the ball. He faced 9 in the box on every down. No joke. Sure, his Oline made some big holes, but to think he didnt run hard and make a lot of those holes with his vision, is naive. And he most certainly didnt go down on first contact.

He's a beast. You might not see it yet, but you will.

JIF maybe our defintion of Beast is whats holding us back here. My definition of a beast is a guy like Earl Campbell, you know a guy who runs people over because hes a BEAST. Walter Peyton was also a beast because when tacklers came near him on the sidelines HE NEVER ran out of bounds he lowered his shoulder and delivered a crushing blow. Kind of like Shonn Greene ran in the playoffs last year knocking over tacklers and running through them. Thats not McFadden and never ever will be. He has talent (speed) but when it comes to breaking tackles and making safties pay and think twice about the next tackle McFadden is way down on the bottom of the list, hes no a beast.

Fair enough. And thats probably the difference. I mean beast in the way of, he can dominate a game.

[Smashmouth]

Heh I knew exactly what ya meant. I just had to get the hard running aspect of my point in there and this was the best way to do it. Since I have the Ticket I watch alot of games I make sure I focus more on the Raida's and Mr McFadden in the more physical games.

[bobbyjet69]

Fair enough. And thats probably the difference. I mean beast in the way of, he can dominate a game.

let's see what he does against a top D. he's got SPEED and that's it! ok, i'll give him vision (not much)

[bobbyjet69]

oh and by the way! the "beastly" performances the past 2 weeks. were against the #29 and 31st ranked rushing defenses!

[Larz]

ok TOON, bump this thread next time he rushes for 45 yards and loses a fumble
