I didn't say he needed higher speed. He runs what a 4.3? The NFL is full of very fast players.

I think McFadden's other attributes are too low. BCV, Agility, Elusivness, Carry, etc. 79 is a ******** rating for him.

In Payton Manning's rookie year, he threw for 28 INTs, sure, but he also threw for almost 4000 yards, 26 TDs, and 56%. In his second season, he went 13-3 with 4135 yards 26 TDs and a 90.7 rating. That's hardly sucking.

Comparing those two is worse that comparing apples and oranges. That's like comparing pineapples to grapes.

And as an LSU fan myself, Russell was overrated from the get go, even at LSU. I hope he does well in the pros, but I think he'll be a bust. He had all the talent in the world around him at LSU - Buster Davis, Early Doucet, Dwayne Bowe, Alley Broussard, Jacob Hester, Joseph Addia, a great o-line, etc.

Since when have the Raiders been good in preseason? I don't recall the Raiders having great preseason records lol. I'm hardly ever excited for the season...based on what I see in preseason lol.

Even worse than that is that Russell gets the same accuracy rating as McFadden. If they hated the Raiders but had a brain they'd atleast give him a 79. But 69? That is ridiculous. Chaz just ran around the Cowboys D on all ends and had 5 catches for 52 yards in a quarter. Some that were really tough. Same as last year. Good thing EA watches the games right????? Let's see DMC 4 carries for 63 yards.....yep he's = to Fargas. LOL. Fargas is a BUM. Bush 3 carries for 23 yards. How is he rated lower than Fargas. He got the ball in his hands for 2 games last year. Ran all over the teams that he got carries against.

Heyward-Bey was the 7th overall pick in the NFL draft. While Chaz Schilens(A 7TH ROUND PICK) had 15 catches for 226 yards and 2 touchdowns on a team where anyone could play WR. How the hell does he deserve anything beyond a 65? This is PRE-SEASON FOOTBALL, stop being such a homer. Justin Fargas is a bum? LMAO. Okay.

Raiders went 4-0 in pre-season a couple of years ago I believe.

Let's go further with this then. Sam Hurd has five catches for 79 yards, while Roy Williams has only one catch for 12 yards. Hurd ought to be the higher rated receiver, right?

Shaun McDonald was the leading receiver for the Steelers, as was Steve Breaston for the Cardinals. They've got to the best receivers for their teams.

I'll say it again - judging things based on the pre-season makes no sense.

Michael Huff made an easy INT. He should be rated 90!
