McFadden beleivers rejoice here (1 Viewer)

Oopps, sorry, forgot...this thread is for McFadden rejoicing ONLY. My bad.

I really don't know what there is to be rejoincing about. - they played against The Chiefs who are AWFUL.

- McFadden got nicked up 2nd game in arole

- He actually got caught from behind

- his touchdown run was the result of 2 defenders running into each other

- he still lacks the balance and speed a great runner usually posses when they make cuts and change direction

I'd sell him for Jonathan Stewart after this week

I saw a particular run last week when he got hit in the leg and managed to regain his balance and move forward another few yards and I thought to myself, "That's some nice agility and balance he showed there."But I guess when you draw your conclusions before you see all the evidence, you'll look for and cite only evidence that fits you pre-determined conclusions. This sort of attitude a lot of people have about a particular player, whether they think they will suck or be great, reminds me of Christian Science. "OK. Here's what our results are going to be. Now let's go out there and find evidence to support it."

Sorry you are not correct on that. I actually went out and watched games/highlights on McFadden with high hopes for this guy behind all the hype he receives, but I came away dissapointed. I definitely didn't draw conclusions before I watched him run.

So, I'm guess these pre-season quotes from you are talking about watching him run in college?

I agree with EBF 100% on the assessment of McFadden and his take on elite runners and their common attributes

Norwood has shown some impressive footwork and leg drive ontop of his speed, which I can't say for McFadden

There is a chance that with the running scheme and the line Oakland has, McFadden can find openings to run through once in awhile and break some runs with his speed, but I've never found him to be very impressive in the 'skills' department of this so called skill position of playing the running back.

yep, college
