He was SO good. It was a thing of beauty to watch him run; he hit the gaps so fast, could change direction without losing much acceleration, great footwork and vision, and would straight up smash LB's and secondary when needed. Some folks like to complain and knock him for injuries, those aren't his fault; it just happens that way sometimes. Regardless of his career stats he was one of the sweetest RB's the game has ever seen.

He definitely had an unorthodox run style. Mostly bc of his body type. He had such broad shoulders, but also had em longer legs that made him difficult to catch once he got to striding. Also prob why he was often injured too tho. Running straight up and down like he did leaves ya open to all kinds of punishment when breaking through gaps. He was a beast tho and actually had a long successful career. Top 5 tho? Meh idk about that. I’d say there’s 5 better RBs currently in the league now.

Needed to be more like Marcus Allen....slithery.....don't take as big a hits. But he went head up with everyone. thats why DMC always have Raider love.

If he couldnt outrun you, he ran you over. I had tge pleasure of watching him, Peyton Hillis, and Felix Jones for 3 seasons at Arkansas, and I would say, you could put them in the top 5 backfields in NCAA history. Unfortunately, they didnt win as much as thier talent shouldve gotten, because we had a coach didnt really know what a vertical passing hame was.

One thing that will really help DMC in Dallas is the fact that the corners and safeties will not be able to get off of the receivers so quick to come back and make the tackle because of the passing threat of the Cowboys. Seems like he can get to the second level pretty well and is good at punching it in at the goal line. He has never been a part of a team with a good QB and passing game, so if he stays healthy he will contribute. We used to say the exact same thing about Murray's health every year until 2014.

Always been a big McFadden fan. Whenever I watch him he hits the holes well, doesn't shy from contact, and runs hard. His pass catching ability is severely underrated I think as well. A lot of people are overlooking him and writing him off, but I think he is going to shock some people. Dallas shouldn't use their first rounder on an RB even though it is Gurley or Gordon. They need inside help bad. This RB class is so deep anyway they can grab a guy in the 3-4 round range if they need. I predict McFadden with a 1000+ yard season and 400+ receiving. This is, of course, if the Cowboys can keep him healthy. I don't like the Cowboys but I'll be rooting for him. Go Pats.

Amazing runner to watch, long strides, fast, elusive. This man is one of the reasons the raiders weren't "the browns" of the NFL for a long time. However, if you notice every play in his highlights he has a wide open hole or no contact at line of scrimmage. He had great speed and elusiveness in the open field but if someone got a hand on him behind the LOS then he wasn't very good.

I think McFadden is a better fit for Dallas than demarco. Granted I think 1800 yds is out of question. But I think Darren has more speed and is a more natural cutback runner. And has more vision. If u look a demarco in college and his rookie yr he was more shifty and not a cutback guy. Over the yrs he learned how to plant that foot and go. Also Darren is a more explosive RB out of the backfield.

ThePhillysports4ever demarco was the leading rusher BECAUSE of the line. Exactly what did he do before Frederick and Martin got there? Not Leading rusher. Not even close. Darren May not lead the league, but could be a top 5-7 guy. So by ur logic, demarco will lead the leauge again this yr. Lol ill be surprised if he sniffs 1,000 yds & Keep in Mind McFadden is More Talented than Murray. This Idea that McFadden sucks or isn't a good player or sometype of downgrade is foolish. Other than McFadden name 2 more players who were good on the Raiders......exactly. If Justin Forsett can rejuvenate his career in Baltimore, I think McFadden will Scare ppl in Dallas. Romo, Dez, the line. He's playing with more talent in 1 yr than he did his whole career in Oak.

As much as I love McFadden and will never forget him as a Raider, lately he's left a lot to be desired. I watched every Raiders game last year and realized that most of his explosiveness is gone. He's 27 (which is usually the year RBs start to decline) and he's been made of glass his whole career. Also his vision is not what it used to be. A lot of people who don't watch Raider's games will say "well his O-line with the Raiders sucked," but when u watched Rashad Jennings in 2013 and Latavius Murray in 2014 produce with the same line then you start to realize that a lot of the problem was McFadden not being effective RB. That being said he is very capable as a change of pace/ committee back as evidenced in games where he was effective when he split the carries. There's also no question regarding toughness, fearlessness, and attitude, but if the Dallas Cowboys want McFadden to produce then they should consider not trying to have him as Bellcow. As a RB2 he will always have the potential to take over a game if he's feeling it every now and then considering the dominant O-line that Dallas has, but don't always expect that. I think next season McFadden gets 650-800 yards rushing, but never threatens the 1000 yard mark. Good luck Run DMC! #RN4L
