mcfaddens value takes another hit.

[Shred003]

Suppose we let him go, who is going to replace him...Reece, Stewart, Goodson...who? None of those players are better than DMC at RB.

Darren McFadden has run 150 times for 507 yards.

Reece, Stewart and Goodson have run 101 times for 483 yards.

Yes... I am precisely advocating what you seem to think is a foolish position. Use Stewart / Reece / Goodson as the rotation next season.

F* that - use them as the rotation this year.

FWIW, I've been banging my head against the wall hoping to see Mike Goodson getting additional carries since week 2.

[*Silver&Black*]

McFadden, Seymour, Kelly, Branch, Huff, and DHB shouldn't be on this team next year.

[corralski]

Experiment over, lesson learned.

I would like to say to his supporters that it really is a shame that he wasn't more durable, damned shame.

Time to get back to the business of our future....

Rotations at RB make perfect sense, two/three guys that have different complimenting talents. Give me a speedy hands guy, a down hill pounder and a short yardage specialist.

....oh yeah, and an OC with enough imagination to mix it up a bit....

[Snake Plissken]

No, he's still seen as an elite 'talent' - and some team, somewhere, will trade for him.

RB is the easiest position to fill, IMO. If you can't get "one" guy, you simply get two or three and use them in a rotation.

Would anyone complain about Reece / Stewart / Goodson getting ~10 carries a piece in 2013?

IMO, stick with the WCO/ZBS, pay Marty Mornhinweg a ton of money and try to get better with the foundation that's already in place.

I was thinking about Mornhinweg the other day. I like that idea.

McFadden isn't going anywhere! I understand everyone wanting to gut the team, but dang, you can't replace everyone. The fact is he's injury prone, but when and if they switch back to a power block scheme, then things might turn around for him.

Suppose we let him go, who is going to replace him...Reece, Stewart, Goodson...who? None of those players are better than DMC at RB.

Then you say draft a RB, well I think we have a ton more problems at other position, and cutting DMC to add to our problems isn't smart.

Exactly...

[HawaiiStyle]

DMC is nothing but speed in space, he cant cut, no vision and is top heavy

[GREATNESS ONE]

DMC is done in Oakland.

There's a team out there who will trade a second or third round pick for him.

I hope so, we need to sell this guy now and get what we can.

[dbacknick]

That all works if you have an O line that can block...we don't....case closed.

[Raider in FL]

McFadden and value should not be used in the same sentence. The Raiders will be lucky to get a Yugo in trade for him...running or not. Now that I think of it there is no difference between McFadden and a Yugo...neither one can run for very long.

Didn't he also get injured in the power blocking scheme? What's the difference? This guy gets hurt turning around in an empty room. Sir step away from the bone.

[chucklemethis]

If he's traded I imagine it'll be for a 3rd and/or another pick yet to be given based on performance. Could even see Mcfadden back here next year at this rate.

But I'd still try to trade him. Cut bait and get something rather than chance he and another back can get it done again next year. It's time to move on.

[m8knuthink]

it's just sad becasue when he's healthy he's good... just ANOTHER piece we need to fix in the offseason...

[themadstork]

While I agree that all it takes is one jumpy GM to get things done, I'm doubting McFadden is worth much. I doubt he was worth much in April.

The only one's who think he's worth a damn are those Raider faithful too blind to see.

I can't believe he still is backed up lol. The run game got better with reece a FB/TE/WR and a UDFA.
