What did he just break the rushing and TD record?

Until he actually does anything worthwhile for a fantaasy team, you really have nothing to brag about.I projected Lamont's stats and still stand by them. Top 15 RB? LOL you wish.
The Raiders had the least amount of yards as a team last year. With Moss maybe coming, I fail to see how Lamont will get more carries. Even with Lamont there, they will still be sharing some carries a little.
Keep getting your hopes up though. Welcome to the RB mess in Oakland Lamont.
What exactly are you telling anyone? No one disputed he would be signed by someone. I dispute the fact that he will ive up to people's expectations (ie Top 15 RB)

I have been in debates for the last several weeks about L.Jordan and his worth and how he is going to sign somewhere and be the starter next season; that is in reference to my last post diesel.

Are you serious??? Do you really think they would sign him to that type of contract for him to go in there and split carries with those other rb's.
A couple of those rb's will be looking for jobs really soon. Also, a solid young offensive line in Oakland with Wr and a team that will throw the ball deep says hello great fantasy season for L.Jordan. I predicted with starter touches this guy will be a top 10 back and I will hold true to my word.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would've argued that Lamont wasn't going to end up starting somewhere. That was more or less a given. Glad to see it was with Oakland though.I have been in debates for the last several weeks about L.Jordan and his worth and how he is going to sign somewhere and be the starter next season; that is in reference to my last post diesel.

Moss is there. It has officially been anounced. Why do you think it is a RB mess in Oakland? Wheatley has already been cut. I doubt that they Zereoue will still be there come opening day.... So it is just Fargas and Jordan. Pretty sure he will get a decent number of carries under Turner. And with the offensive line that the Raiders are putting together, it will probably be a pretty good year for him.
Now I am not going to jump up and say he is going to be in the top 10 or 15 fantasy RBs just yet, as there is a lot more off-season to go through (and the deal isn't even official yet)... However I don't see how this situation is a 'mess'??

I am very pleased, to say the least. We may not stop anyone on defense, but make no mistake about it... opposing defensive coordinators will have many sleepless nights.

With Moss and Porter on the outside, Norv turners philosophy of pounding his RB the only thing stopping Jordan from being a solid #2 rb would be a injury. Dont have to worry about him and his 233 pound rear getting pulled at the goal line either. Raiders will be a fun team to watch this year.

Basic FF101 here frenzy:With Moss and Porter on the field and Curry likely the #3WR, Defenses will HAVE to respect the passing Offense. That leads to no 8 man fronts for ANY back in the rotation. The fact that Gallery and Grove are no longer rookies, leads me to believe our Oline should be solid, opening big holes, with no extra guys up front to come in and help. Jordan is a big back with good blocking skills, a prototype everydown back. Norv Turner is a run first/run often coach. Throw in a less than stellar defense, and I predict big things Fantasy wise for all the offensive players in Oaktown!
Therefore:
Jordan = Good Fantasy Production this coming season.
I'am a Raiders fan as well,please tell me that your not happy with Jordan?Jordan is NOT is answer at RB for the RaidersHope all you want son... this deal is DONE! Now address the Defense a little and we are playoff bound!!!!I hope this never happens.Raiders close to signing Jordan - AP (9:47 PM ET)ESPN radio reporting via John Clayton!

Why can't he be a RB1? I'm not kidding, and I'm not asking the question strictly as a Raider fan. I firmly believe he is a frontline FF RB, with no qualifiers.With Moss and Porter on the outside, Norv turners philosophy of pounding his RB the only thing stopping Jordan from being a solid #2 rb would be a injury. Dont have to worry about him and his 233 pound rear getting pulled at the goal line either. Raiders will be a fun team to watch this year.

Are you serious? go check out the other Jordan threads and see what some posters were saying. Jordan will be ranked top 15 for sure in my books. Remember the Barlow hype... well he turned out to be a bust and with due cause because not enough people took into effect his surroundings. With L. Jordans' surroundings around guys like Moss, Porter, Curry, Gabriel and this young and good offensive lines how can he not volt up into the top 15??? I think you guys are underestimating how good he is going to be.I don't think anyone in their right mind would've argued that Lamont wasn't going to end up starting somewhere. That was more or less a given. Glad to see it was with Oakland though.I have been in debates for the last several weeks about L.Jordan and his worth and how he is going to sign somewhere and be the starter next season; that is in reference to my last post diesel.

:rotflmao: Hey I hope I'm wrong. I'd be the first to say so.But I want you to say so if you are. Or I'm coming to your house and taking

Of course he could be a RB1, but due to his lack of a track record it'd take an awful lot of gamble for an owner to draft him as such. Unless you're planning on backing up the move with a very sold RB2 and RB3. I know I couldn't do it even though I'm on the LJ bandwagon already.Why can't he be a RB1?

This is the biggest point that people overlook. A large percentage of a RB's effectiveness is predicated on the ability of the players surrounding him. As good as Jordan is, he will NOT be the focus in defensive meetings. Randy Moss makes everyone better. I'd be stunned if YPC of the Minnesota backs went up this year.With L. Jordans' surroundings around guys like Moss, Porter, Curry, Gabriel and this young and good offensive lines how can he not volt up into the top 15???I don't think anyone in their right mind would've argued that Lamont wasn't going to end up starting somewhere.

Jordan, Raiders to finalize $27.5 million contract Please say it this isn't true.Anybody else think that the Raiders way overpaid for him?
Do you think Edge or Alexander would get significantly more guaranteeed money on the market?
Yes alittle bit,like 27.5 worth. :rotflmao:

I don't see any downside to this (granted as soon as Moss was announced last week, I've been walking around a little light headed). I feel like this is EXACTLY the move for the Raiders. IIRC, Jordan averaged over 5 yds per carry last year. That sounds prettyI'am a Raiders fan as well,please tell me that your not happy with Jordan?Jordan is NOT is answer at RB for the RaidersHope all you want son... this deal is DONE!

I like to give my part of contribution to this thread, and it is as follows:

What would you grade the Raiders offensive line?
If you had said top 10, I would thiink you might be right--or could go either way. But Jordan doesn't have to be that great to be RB15. There are enough serious RBBCs that Jordan simply needs to keep Zeroue off on 1st and 2nd down. RB15 just isn't that hard to achieve if you get the majority of snaps and goal line carries.I mean Pittman was #12 this year in one of my leagues, McGahee, Droughns and Dunn were 14-16 with other factors cutting into their carries or starts. So, given 16 games Jordan could likely compete with their agreggate production.

So you have zero worries about giving an unproven commodity like Jordan $18M guaranteed?Hope it works out better than your "big signing" of last offseason.....
