Darren McFadden

He will take it personal and have his revenge on us.

I think he goes in next year and has a career year. Whether or not that is MVP worthy remains to be seen. If he’s read these blogs or seen all the trade talk stuff, he will come in with a huge chip on his shoulder. Of importance, he needs to take care of himself better. Smart backs do just enough to not get hurt like AP (freak accident aside). I hopes he’s learned some things about himself and I hope he goes into the year confident, regardless of the new coaching staff. I can’t wait, hope he tears it up.

There’s no question how valuable he is to this team and how missed he is when he is out!

I like a lot of people on the raiders like ford, hayward-bey, bush, palmer, cambell, moore, curry, mcClain, seymour, houston, kelly, but there’s only 1 person who i love and that’s of course Darren McFadden.

RUN DMC (healthy)>>>>>every other back in the nfl!!!!!! My favorite player on the team!!!!!!! Can’t wait till he leads the nfl in rushing, shut the doubters up!

to drive up the value.

I’d like to see us start hunting for the fastest, best run blocking TE, to preserve the longevity of McFaddy and Jones.

Currently his stock isn’t at a premium due to the injury history, so for now we need to keep him. if he’s healthy and productive next season, then we should ride that pony all the way to the bank and IF somebody makes us an offer we can’t refuse, then move him and only then…

As long as Darren is an 8 game a year guy, I’m afraid most GMs in the league would look to see what’s on the table for the guy, especially if said GM is in the position Reggie finds himself in with no picks and in cap trouble even after releasing some of the “out of whack” contracts.

Losing Darren would be a tough blow, and it would be another in a series of moves that finds me missing the team we developed high hopes for in the last couple of seasons, but a small part of me is preparing for the possibility, whether you or I or anyone likes it. I hope we can make him stay and even retire a Raider. I believe he could be a league leader too.

Let’s hope it was actually shortcomings of our trainers and not convenient speculation on our parts, and that the health issues are a thing of the past.

Even with a crappy defense the Raiders are playoff contenders if McFadden can stay healthy. With an improved defense and a healthy McFadden, the Raiders are contenders to go deep into the playoffs. He’s that good, he’s a game changer.

TOP 5 BACK.

All his gifts are wasted, since he refuses to stay healthy ONE season so far in his short career and if he’s had this many injuries in this amount of time, he surely will ALWAYS be hurt in the future. He might not be the first or last but some guys simply can NOT stay off the IR and it appears Karren will be one of those guys! We have a solid young RB that can play the “lightning” role to Bush’s “thunder” and his name is Taiwan Jones and he has an excellent average per carry so far. I don’t see why we don’t trade Karren before he convinces the rest of the NFL that he isn’t worth trading for if he’s always hurt, so we can use whatever we get for him on the DEFENSE!!! I feel confident Taiwan can get the job done with his awesome speed, as long as the oline plays consistently. If the new coaches can simply put together a GREAT oline, the rest will fall into place! We don’t have that many guys who are trade worthy, so use Karren now, while we still can and put Taiwan in coach!
