I hope we draft another back somewhat high this year.

If McFadden takes Gurley, Gordon or Johnson off the draft board...

Latavious Murray totally outplayed him. Let that sink in.

Im not agreeing with this by any means lol. Dont take my comment the wrong way. Im just saying it was Oakland. They dont have 3 all pro lineman. Also dont have romo and dez. Who knows. I dont think he will be the focal point of our run game

I like just bringing a vet with upside in for a few dollars just to see if anything sticks. I am sure it's not a deal that guarantees him a roster spot.

McFadden is pretty much like Murray before Murray got injured. He has talent but can't stay healthy.

What upside?

i understand why they like him...very similar to Murray. I didn't watch him at all last year but in previous seasons, I like him as a back. I am hoping they are not getting too cute here and trying to outsmart the league.

I know it was Oakland, but a little known backup outplayed him on the SAME team...

The upside is that he is probably really cheap and if he can stay healthy, could prove a nice addition. He will have to prove it in training camp but there isn't really a downside here I imagine.

It's no big deal, especially with a low money deal. We will still draft a RB in the draft, IMO.
