I know he is good out to the backfield and can catch well. Let's face it, he was doomed to underachieve the second he got drafted by Oakland. Where would he fall in the Spiller/Bush discussion? He would probably come cheaper and I don't think he's ever really been set up to do well in Oakland.

We all know he was sick at Arkansas. What y'all think?

I think he is worth a shot. A good change of scenery should help him

I think we could use the depth at RB so if Spiller or Bush don't work, maybe he does.

Latavius kicked arse behind the same line that McFadden trodded to 3.4 yards per carry and 5.8 yards per catch behind.

I wouldn't say he kicked arse. Didn't he only play like 3 or 4 games last year?

4 carries, 43 yards
4 carries, 112 yards, 2 TDs
23 carries, 76 yards
12 carries, 59 yards
23 carries, 86 yards
10 carries, 37 yards

Murray's average is inflated by the 2 games he had 4 carries in.

No, McFadden hasn't averaged 3.5 ypcarry since '11 (a season when he only played 7 games)

Yeah he played on the Raiders, but almost every running back they had outplayed him (Bush, Jennings, Reece)

Two years ago the Raiders rushed for 2,000 yards, McFadden accounted for less than 400 of them and he was the starter for 1/2 the season.

He's cursed from having been in Oakland
