Probably swept anything he did while at Alabama under the rug.

He's a good player but not as good as everyone thought he would be. He's not worth all the trouble. The raiders are still a mess as well so this may be good for both parties.

He isn't a 4-3 Mike, IMO.

He can't stay out of trouble. It's surprising me because he seemed like a gym rat and real student of the game at Bama. He's a straight up thug now.

McClain later deleted his Facebook updates, but for a time on Wednesday afternoon he had posted messages including “Officially no longer an Oakland Raider!!” and “I’d like to be anywhere besides here.”

He has some mental issues. Has little to do with his ability. But, then again, when did the Raiders care about crazy players? I wouldn't mind seeing the Falcons get him FWIW



He's also in the wrong scheme. McClain doesn't have enough sideline-to-sideline speed to be a MLB in a 4-3 scheme.

No he wasn't.

From my perspective, he's too slow to be a 4-3 MLB in the NFL. He would get left behind on stretch hand-offs.

He also had a nasty tendency to jump into the wrong hole against the run. He's attacking a blocker, in essence, while the runner is flying past him.

He could be successful in a 3-4, but it wasn't going to work in Oakland. Sucks he was a wasted pick, but them's the breaks.

He was the ONLY black guy on Facebook against Obama... Sounds mentally stable to me.

He was a system player at Bama, nothing more.
