Though I'm not one of the people that said he was GOD after 9 games in college, my guess is the first 2 games in college last year he wasn't 2nd string, and I bet he didn't get turf toe during the 3rd game... or turf toe in the other foot weeks later. I'd go way out on a limb and actually bet he played at least 1 minute in all those 9 games last year too (b/c he hasn't played in 9 games this year).

He's not a bust. At all.

And at the threads that this guy starts.

Remember, Reggie Bush? a terrible first year, a mediocre second and now look, Bush has emerged as a quality running back - he's no Tomlinson but he's improving. McFadden, needs to bulk up, he just can't break tackles and get to the second level. 90% of his touchdowns at Arkansas were due to his raw speed and awarness. But you needd that physicality in the NFL otherwise the Raiders need to invest in a power RB. McFadden is not a 3 down back.

kind of funny since you're an Alabama fan, but IMO he had his most physical game of his college career against bama in 2007. he knows how to get the tough yards when he needs to

Future reference, don't respond it just encourages.
