anyone else happy the JETS didn't get the chance to take McFadden

with all the work they have done to their line I really think Thomas can have another great year. remember he had 1,000 yards last year and he didn't get that many carries in the 2nd half last year as the JETS had to abandon the running game in the 2nd half's last year to try to play catch up

He's no McFadden. I would have welcomed DMc with open arms.

I think McFadden will be another Reggie Bush, good solid NFL player but nothing special

McFadden wasn't going to be brought in to replace Thomas Jones, he was just going to be a compliment. A good 1-2 punch.

Just like with Cedric Benson, McFadden will not sit on the bench long behind Thomas. You don't draft a guy in the top 5 to be a "1-2 punch" or the second running back. Thomas will get the majority of the carries this season, but unless DM gets a serious injury or even less likely shows he's not going to cut it, TJ will be making a move again in a year or so.

This is a hypothetical topic, Run DMC didn't get drafted by the Jets, he's a Raider. Thomas will be the go to back for at least another year in NY.

Sorry, that sounds retarded the way I put it. My scenario was supposed to be hypothetical. Too much draft for me this weekend. And this after seeing him interviewed with a Raider hat on talking about getting away from his family by going to the west coast.

He'd be expected to make that top 5 money much like the situation Thomas found in Chicago. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

I'm suprised Geno hasn't been drafted btw.

I agree 100% if Run DMC where headed to NYC TJ would be headed else where.

Geno did finally get drafted, looks like he gets to stay close to home in Tampa. I really think one more year in school would have done wonders for him, but I don't blame him for leaving early.

Yeah, he went not long after I posted that.

why dont you blame him for leaving early?

hes an idiot

another year means at least 2 rounds higher.......and more money

more money = better chance of making a roster

He'll make the roster in Tampa, and probably see some PT in his rookie season. The reason I don't blame him for leaving is; I don't see FSU having a great season whether he stayed or not, I'm sure he realized that as well and decided to move on.

then hes an idiot and its not a surprise he went to F$U

no matter how badly they suck......he should have stayed because he could have played for a paycheck

now hes got nothing guaranteed.......getting himself to even the 4th round would guarantee him something

Ahh he'll make the rookie minimum for a few years, i'm sure he won't starve.

I agree he really could have raised his stock with another year in college. In his defense though he was given a high 3rd-4th round grade from the NFL after the season last year, the combine dropped his stock big time though.

AINGE!!!! J-E-T-S jets jets jets!!!!

brohm was still the same qb......the problems this year were two fold......a new offensive system and alot of injuries......both of which didnt allow him to put up the same numbers........there was still talk of him sneaking into the first round this year.......so i dont think he really hurt himself too much by coming back

but leaving early to be a 7th round pick doesnt make sense

When he left, I'd assume he thought he would go higher. But Brohm would have been a 1st rounder last year and stayed. On another note...what is the NYG infatuation with SEC QBs???...namely UK QBs??..lol

Year one and my statement looks good. lets see what will happen in year 2. I might eat my words but I still don't think he will be a "special" back.

his toe held him back last season, but i still believe he will be a pro bowler one day, hes the shit, too much talent not to be great.

Gilbert Godfried would have been a better pick than Gholston, another of those workout warriors taken way too high. Mcfadden hands down would have been a better pick even though he wasn't there.

I don't think he is even comparable to Reggie Bush. Plays with alot more power, and ran through the SEC instead of the Pac-10. Also wasn't playing for a powerhouse in a system that makes all of its players look great. I knew Bush wouldn't be shit coming out of college into the NFL, but I was real high on Mcfadden and still think he is one of the best backs to come out in awhile. Bush also went to a strong offensive team with a proven QB and and good bruising RB to spell him, and still hasn't done anything. Mcfadden went to the Raiders, was injured, and they had a terrible year with a team that had alot of holes. He'll go for 1450 yards this year. Write it down.
