Darren Mcfadden: more valuable on the Raiders or Jets (1 Viewer)

It's tough to say since I think Oakland's blocking scheme would benefit the most, but I think NY would give him more reps early on.

for his rookie season : no change IMO.

As a Jets fan, I wanted him to fall past Oak... but as owner over 1.01 in a couple of leagues... I'm starting to see the bright side and Oak might be the best FF spot. In NYJ, DMac would be RBBC with TJ... TJ would most likely even see a larger load the 1st yr.

In Oak, Al is going to demand that McFadden is out there... even if he may not be the best RB at the time. Al passed up a couple of vert good players for him... and hes not going to want to see DMac riding the pine. Besides, Fargas / Bush / Jordan... no one expects all 3 of them to remain, but those players are the perfect model of health either.

Even by adding Faneca, the Jets are not as statistically friendly to RBs as Oakland. Jordan was the leading rusher 'till the sand in his #### got too irritating. Then Fargas gets over 1K. To finish it off, Rhodes gets 100 yard games. None of those guys are as good as T.Jones. Give one guy 75-80% of those stats and you get a top-tier RB in the FFB world. I'm not a fan of McFadden, and as a Raider fan, I was very dissappointed in passing on Dorsey (scheme and personnel be damned) for him. That spot should be won pretty easily by McFadden in pre season and I can't imagine anything less than 1300 & 8 w/ 40 for 300 + 2.

Edit to filter the word that the filter didn't catch.

McFadden is version 2.0 of Justin Fargus

It should be a great story since I can't find evidence of a Justin Fargus ever playing in the NFL.

Much more valuable on the Raiders. The zone blocking scheme will help open up those huge holes that McFadden needs to run to daylight.

Jordan, Fargas, and Rhodes had 100 yard games as a team they were the #6 rushing offense.

DMC has a much better pedigree than those 3 and with essentially a rookie QB running the show, expect him to get a steady diet of rushes. Even if he does split carriers... he has shown at the college level to still be an impact player.

No, he won't.He's already the best RB.
